Hi.Years back, I tested a CD dematnetizer when it first came out of the market. An audiophile friend sent it in for my evaluation.
My verdict was & still valid now: "It is a joke & a commercial scam."
The machine got pretty noisy during the kinda magnetization process on the CD under test. We all listened to the treated CD immediately after the test & found the music get so damped & sorta distorted that it sounded like totally something horrible else.
Yet, a few minutes later, after the treatment effect had gone, the CD sounded back its orignal nice sonic quality. No better & no worse.
Basing this test, it was returned back to the vendor for good.
Don't talk 'big' to me, you're not there yet, pal.
