I have been using a Hammond F 21 tape eraser on my cds, dvds and lps to great effect, so much so that all my audio friends are trying to find a similar device.I know there are the Furutech and Walker units, but this is a large industrial unit used in recording studios from the past.I have tried the various demagging cds and all manner of cd tweeks from having them cut,washed and coloured .There were some slight sonic changes,but no flat out sonic winners.Then on a lark and reading about the Talisman et al I sourced the above mentioned Hammond.All you do is place the cd on the flat plate turn on the switch for 30 sec, then repeat on the other side.For albums I leave them in their sleeves and slowly rotate the lp over the plate and then do the other side.The first response from audiophiles is "did you just turn up the volume?"The increase in separation,tone, information and the level of relaxation is enormous.It's the most beneficial component I have added to my system which includeds a dedicated 30 amp line, a Furman IT 1220 balanced power conditioner, Shunyata Hydra 2 and Annaconda power cords.They all made a difference, but not as night and day an improvement as demagging with the Hammond.
The how or why, I will leave to those with an electrical background to figure out.But you don't need an engineering degree(although one of my audio friends has one)to hear the difference.Nor does your system have to cost more than your car to demonstrate the difference.The change on lps is like the the difference in relaxation you feel when you put on some vinyl after a listening session with cds.
