Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers?

Do they make a difference? If so what sort of difference do they make? Are they worth paying say $150 for?

Thanks,

KF

I "clean" my cd's as follows: using an antistatic cleaner cleaner from a respectable Co (J&Son, Benckiser etc). Usually available at any local s/market, I lightly spray the printed surface (i.e. NOT the data) of the cd & wipe it off with a soft cloth. Believe me, the digital glare goes away (mostly) & the muddle turns into more perceptible detail... As to demagnetising, I use Densen's cd -- with variable success!

The Zerostat works well with the wiring in general AND vinyl -- but doesn't seem to do much for the cd. I don't know what (if anything) I'm doing wrong. I haven't tried mapleshade, but have used Nordost's spray. I use that on speaker drivers and the cdp transport with ok-to-good results. But Nordost is too expensive for extended use.
