- pwdisswordfishc 3y agoIs this the kind of scam I am thinking of?
- pitherpather 3y agoStay tuned. I will let you know. I hope this doesn't turn out like the CD-rewinder I wasted my money on last year.
- Smoosh 3y agoNo, this is clearly a scam, as us audiophiles know you don’t demagnetise the disc, you demagnetise the laser read/write head.
- pitherpather 3y agoI have taken my CD player/decoder made with discretes and turned it end-over-end while slowly backing away from a strong magnet.
- NikkiA 3y agoI hope the magnet was correctly aligned with your local ley lines.
- londons_explore 3y agoI'm impressed that it auto detected my country (Turkmenistan), and made up a kinda sensible price in my local currency (the Turkmenistani Manat).
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoWhat's it like in Turkmenistan? I never hear good things about it [1] (crazy dictator obsessed with personality cult, no freedom, high poverty & unemployment, etc) [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9QYu8LtH2E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9QYu8LtH2E
- londons_explore 3y agoI'm only here for a few weeks, but it is surprisingly similar to bits of eastern Europe. The USSR was far more unifying in terms of culture than I had imagined for places so geographically far apart, and now, 35 years later, all those ex-ussr societies have evolved in similar ways - with a lot of influence from the west/USA.
- tgv 3y agoIt reminds me of the special red marker you could buy. You would mark the edge of the CD carefully to avoid stray laser beams distorting the sound. Or the technique of putting CDs in the freezer, because it gives a crisper sound. And don't get me started on Monster cables. I wish I was making this up, but here's discussion: https://www.audio-forums.com/threads/freezing-cds.104232/ https://www.audio-forums.com/threads/freezing-cds.104232/
