Furutech DeMag II

I have for sale a Furutech Disc Demagnetizer RD-2. Below i copied some info about it from the article on it in Positive Feedback Mag. I looked at the Furuech site and this appears to be out of production. "So what we have here is a smallish device that demagnetizes a CD, cable, or what have you. Demagnetizes?! And that means what to me? Well based on what Furutech says, all this should result in the RD-2 reducing misreads while lowering the noise floor. That is, it should cut down on error correction and allow a CD to sound "better" due to less reliance on error correction and whatever ills it may bring to the table. Naturally, this is very dependant on the CD player/transport one uses; at least I am willing to make that assumption. The better the unit's ability to buffer or correct for errors, the less one should perceive a problem. Makes sense …yes? Even so, with the wham-bammed CD-306 from Cary, CDs were better Furutized than not. Mo Better? Well better than what one hears from a disc that is played prior to being demagnetized. That is a disc after a visit to the RD-2 offers a more relaxed, less edgy sound. Not as dramatic, as say a sucker punch to the nose or the Nespa, but music has more clarity while at the same time possessing less glare and that gritty grit grit one associates with digital. More air, more space, more musically nice music. More more more. Not a lot of more more more, but enough that it is worth it for me to use it on a regular basis. Way easier than cleaning and treating discs with "flavor of the day" disc cleaner. To you? No way to tell; only you can decide that!

All one has to do is place a disc on the RD-2 ($360, www.furutech.com), hit the erase button and wait as the unit does its thing—about 30-40 seconds later, the green light fades out and the disc is ready to play. The on/off button can be left in either position, though naturally it does need to be on to work"
