If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically...

Concerning the built up static the Ayres CD may be impacting, has anyone used the Zerostat anti-static gun on their equipment and wiring to good effect. I think it was originally designed for use with records.

I’ve not used mine for decades, but still have it. You can check out the second half of the following video to see how it works on records and maybe CD’s. Maybe it would work the same way as the Walker Talisman device fleschler described. could work on demagnification.

Free advice: Do not point the Zerostat gun at your wife and slowly squeeze the trigger when she is giving you static.

This Ayre promo hasn't just arrived as they bring out their mk2 disc has it?

My Ayre disc arrived yesterday and I played the entire 19 plus minutes straight through at moderately low volume. I next cued up the Mofi SACD disc of Breakfast in America"- which has been a standard reference album since my Tech Hifi days.

Granted this is not the best SACD out there IMHO, as it tends to be a bit bright. Playing it through from start to finish it did sound quite good, with  warmer mid range and clearer bass. So my ears pricked up to that.

I will clearly have to more serious listening of other discs from my collection,but just wanted to throw in my initial impression out. I am curious since my DAC is in my Yamaha CD/SACD player will I also reap an additional benefits in regards to that?

My  version of the Ayre disc is from 2019.

Thanks for this!!!

Although I have 2 different enhancing discs XLO and Isotek, I have been negligent to use them. 3 days ago I reinstalled my Marantz HDCD 1 and while it sounded appreciably better than my Oppo 105 with upgraded PS (though also unenhanced in a long time), the HDCD 1 was sizzly on top. First I replaced the $250 WW power cord with a ~$750 PC from Tekline. That helped, but the images were still a little fuzzy. I put my XLO disc in for a complete run-through. Images were much better focused as well as location on the sound stage
