Hmmmmm. What a nutter.Glad he doesn't live next door too me.

If he always puts his his through that process, how can he tell that it 'markedly' improves the sound?

I can see the sense in cleaning dirty CD's to avoid skipping.

How big a magnetic field can you get off a CD? And how much is this actually reduced by that demagnetising device? And how sensitive are the parts inside a CD player to magnetic fields?

And what problem would static on the label side cause to a CD?

And as for that device that shines a bright light onto CD's, why not just hold them up to the sun on a sunny day?

And it's interesting that he says that CD sounds warmer in his system than vinyl. Maybe he's running a bright cartridge, like an AT OC9?

Look, let's face it. If he's spent £600 on an optical finaliser, £250 on a de-magnatiser and £45 on an ultrasound cleaner they're bound to sound better!

Seems a bit OCD to me. I have read that cds come with some sort of anti fungal treatment so it may be a good idea to give them a wash but I wouldn't use a paper towel to dry them as they would scratch the cd. If it makes him feel better about his system good luck to the guy.

Another one if you care to waste 20 min
