Furutech DeMag
For several years, we have recommended the Furutech RD2 disc demagnetizer for those listeners that wanted to improve the sound of their CD playback. Furutech has now discontinued this product and replaced it with a new product called the DeMag. While several times the price of the RD2, the DeMag has taken the demagnetization process to new levels, and to additional audio products. The research and documentation of the before/after testing, and the feedback from their Beta testers, all confirm just how effective the DeMag can be in removing magnetism from CD's, DVD, cables, and LP's???????
Yes, we said LP (vinyl album) playback is improved after treatment on the DeMag. Before you call the men in the white coats on us, let me explain this a bit. The pigments used to make an LP black in color contain ferrous materials. These materials have been shown to retain magnetic fields and therefore hold static charges during playback of an LP. The treatment of the LP with Furutech's DeMag eliminates this magnetism, which allows the LP playback to be quieter, with a blacker background, less surface noise, and more "air" at higher frequencies.
CD's spin at a high rate of speed as they play, which induces a magnetic field. This magnetic field causes read and retry errors, and as the read error rate increases, the correction circuitry works harder, and the sound of the CD is less open and realistic. After treatment of the CD (or DVD) on the Furutech DeMag, the playback has less magnetically-induced distortion, resulting in high frequencies that sound cleaner and more lifelike than before, as well as better imaging and more depth to the soundstage. In the case of video DVD's the picture is sharper and clearer, with less smearing during rapid motion sequences. The older and more frequently played the disc, the more pronounced the improvement with treatment.
Finally, the DeMag allows you to demagnetize signal cables and power cords. These cables tend to suffer from magnetic build-up over time, and treatment of the cables with the DeMag removes this residual condition, allowing you to hear more of the system and less of the veil of magnetism on the cables, that blocks some of the delicate nuances so important to experienced listener.
If you want to read all of the testing, technical arguments, and view the charts and graphs of the before and after treatment of the DeMag, please visit Furutech's website.
From now until the 15th of October, save $250 on the Furutech DeMag - regularly priced at $1800 - special introductory price - $1550.
