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


I would rather imagine that most audiophiles are aware of this, but if not, may I recommend a very easy tweak that has always produced positive results in every system I've had:

Ayre - Irrational, But Efficacious!

Densen - DeMagic

These are System Enhancement Discs which reduces magnetism that has built up during playback. I'm pretty sure there are other products that purport to do the same thing. These two have certainly worked for me. Good listening!!

Well, I ordered one, thanks to Jerryg123's post.

With so many recommendations, it was hard to resist for a paltry $20.

I just checked the link again and saw that they are sold out now.

Not to worry, there's a couple of sellers on eBay selling used ones for $50. 🥴

I suspect it’s not magnetism but static electricity that builds up on discs. What magnetic material is on a disc?

Ink used on the labels may contain metal particles.

I believe static can build up on the clear polycarbonate plastic layer

 

The green CD pens actually work by the way.

Derisive comments serve only to burnish reputation among those who find it easier to dismiss out of hand than do the work of finding out for themselves. Credit and props to those who do put a little more effort into doing audio than expounding on that which they do not know.

Agree 100%

I  use the Isotek System Tune Up Disc , it includes a demagnetization track amongst the other tuneup tracks
