@JohnJ I have a request ..can you perhaps add additional taggs to this thread, such as CD Player , CD Accessories . I think that this medium dying out because of streaming should find more attention. Thanx ...

Did I ever told you that I´m using for sound improvement a magnetic field eraser for my CD`S ? It really works ...No snake oil It´s a Furutech RD 2 Here are some measurements showing the results ...... First the signal before demagnetization is shown, error components come along with the 1kHz sinusoidal signal, which we interpret as noise or distortion components of magnetic fields. You can see there next to the 1KHz signal empty parts, sound degrading partscaused by read errors. The spreading of the errors suggests a poorer in and out oscillation behavior of the music. In addition, irregularities occur not only at 1KHz, but also in the range between 200-800Hz, which we also interpret as noise and distortion components. After demagnetization, the noise next to the 1KHz signal has disappeared as well as the empty spots. The signal is now smooth and the noise components before demagnetization have almost completely disappeared. The signals in the other ranges are also more uniform and most of the interference in the 200~800Hz range has disappeared. From these experimental results, it can be concluded that the signal-to-noise ratio has improved significantly, and audible distortion is reduced. After demagnetization, the interference components are lower and the overall sound image is more cohesive from the bass to the high frequency range. What leads to the magnetization of a DISC (CD) ? The label print of a DISC contains chemical compositions, such as iron, Ni, and cobalt, which are strong magnetic materials that can be easily magnetized. The read/write surface of a DISC contains 99% aluminum and 1% magnetic substances such as iron, Ni, and cobalt. By the way, aluminum is a paramagnetic material, which can also be easily affected by magnetism.

continue with Katie Melua´s debut " Piece by Piece " 2005

another digital Singer Songwriter Spin . Miss Joss Stone´s debut " mind , body & soul " 2004

We already have very cold autumn evenings , than relaxing music just nice to listen to. SACD from Miss Norah Jones " come away with me " 2003

continue digital spinning with easy listening jazz style ....Diana Krall " Turn up the quiet " 2017 . Sound like she performing life in my music room...... Anyone notes that she spinn´s on a McIntosh MT 10 TT ?

I´ll prefer to listen to unknown music as long as my SACD is in the re-burn In phase . Has approx. 50 hours of operation now and opens up more and more . Love to listen to ......Jennifer Warnes " The Hunter " 1992 Production .

Not a secret ..It´s and he loves hats .

We all got these on vinyl , more or less . Do you enjoy sittin near by me and watching how I spinn records ? At nightime George is gone and transforms into DJane " Georgina "

There were also once audio CD blanks in vinyl retro design. As I still own a Audio CD Recorder from Philips I use and prefer the Maxwell CD blanks to record CD`s for my friends. The best CD blanks are from MFSL , but quiet expensive.

should be enough for today , more will follow soon ..if you want to .....
