demagnitizing CD s?

first thing ya gotta do is buy some cd's with ferrites or other magnetic material to demagnitize. once you've found some of those, post me an email and i'll send you, FREE, the secret code ring you'll need to continue with the process ($49.99, shipping and handling).

ok, let's assume the aluminum core of a cd has microscopic ferrites in the material. how do such impurities affect the manner by which the disc is read? more importantly, what effect does "demagnitizing" have on these impurities? i don't have the answers to these questions, so i'd love to hear from someone who does.

albert: experimenting with tweaks is a fine form of entertainment among audiophiles. why should anyone waste his money, tho, on tweaks that don't work? i find it quite interesting to hear from those who have actually tried the demag devices their reports of results, or the lack thereof. if those reports are spurred by a clearly jocular post, what's the problem? i think most of us are adults here and can stand to have our "enthusiasm" questioned. what good would this forum be if it weren't for differences of opinion? i truly appreciate the increased level of civility in these threads of late and your efforts to establish and maintain that characteristic. i hope, however, that we can keep our collective sense of humor, lest these chats become akin to highschool historty texts screened through a sieve of political correctness into a tasteless pabulum.
