Can anyone explain in laymans terms why your gear sound better after warm up

geoffkait,

Sorry, but I have neither experience with nor insight into the practice of demagnetizing CDs.  I wouldn’t mind learning of the experiences of others who have either tried or routinely apply demagnetizing devices such as bulk tape erasers to their CDs, whether positive or negative.  Rational and fact-based explanations concerning any perceived benefits would be appreciated.  While I am open to learning from the experiences of other music lovers, my BS detector has a low threshold.

Again, I believe that the subject of demagnetizing LPs (and CDs, should anyone be interested in contributing) should be addressed in a separate thread.  As a newbie to the Audiogon forums, I am yet to become familiar with initiating a new discussion thread.

I again apologize for straying from the topic of this thread.

Thank you for asking.

>>>>Do you have an explanation for demagnetizing CDs, too? I’m interested in both.

Demagnetizing stretches the O and I so they can be more easily read as 0 and 1

Finally, an explanation that makes sense. 🤗

skipskip,
