Latest Must Have accessory ...

If someone can't find a better way to spend (or even donate/give away) $1800 than by purchasing one of these, well....
 
I must admit that in 33 years of record buying, some of those years working in a record shop and as an online record dealer, I have yet to find a magnetic record. Even metal acetates are non-ferrous.

Yep, just checked it out.

When I throw a record at my fridge it doesn't stick. FFS
 
I bet they're laughing their asses off at the loons who buy this stuff. :D
 
Wow now .......

I'm assuming you've all heard this item and it has no effect ?

don't be too quick to judge, I'd like a listen before I condem it....I mean I would not want to look foolish by dissing it without hearing it.

Don't assume I'm defending this item as I'm not .....just don't get into the habit of dissmissing things that are outside your frame of refference.

keep an open mind !


One of the main impurites in bauxite is ...you guessed it good old Fe203.........So its not totally impossible that some of the Iron impurites manage to get through the smelting process into the final product.


"Aluminium is mined in huge scales as bauxite (typically Al2O3.2H2O). Bauxite contains Fe2O3, SiO2, and other impurities. In order to isolate pure aluminium, these impurities must be removed from the bauxite. This is done by the Bayer process. This involves treatment with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, which results in a solution of sodium aluminate and sodium silicate. The iron remains behind as a solid. When CO2 is blown through the resulting solution, the sodium silicate stays in solution while the aluminium is precipitated out as aluminium hydroxide. The hydroxide can be filtered off, washed, and heated to form pure alumina, Al2O3."

Reff.

On a different level .....I've heard a demagnatised cd demo but could not swear there was nothing in it.

Pete, they claim it demagnetises LPs ... and it costs $1800
 
I have some boxer shorts.
If I put them on my penis grows to double it's size.
Yours for £5000

You can't say this isn't true without trying them?

True some things are dismissed too easily, but this sounds a bit much. And it's MOre the price/possible benefit ratio that I find amusing.
 
Use some common sense. How is a laser going to be affected by magnetism?
 
it's for vinyl - which doesn't need any new voodoo - there's already a lagre pile of zombie fodder for the vinylistas to play with. what we need is a demagnetiser for music servers - oh wait a minute that won;t work..... or will it.... quick, to the patent office robin....

would you accept 4k..?
 
tell you what .....you put a magnet on top of your cdp and see how it plays old harry with it. ooo thats not right many cdps have a magnetic clamp ????? maybe ...

The laser thingy after it detects those pits and humps is an electrical signal ....now when I did physics electricity had a magnetic component... though that could have changed by now.

I WILL REPEAT ..............

I AM NOT DEFENDING IT !

neither am I prepared to condem it without hearing its non existant [?] effects.

Wow, I've always wanted a 24" penis.

Would you prefer Visa or Paypal?

I see what you are saying ... but ... would you say the same thing about the vinyl claims ... must we be that open minded? ;)

Our brains might fall out.
 
I laughed out loud at the furu-UFO thingy review; it's teh kind of thing which give sthe lunatic fringe a bad name - esp. the claimed reduction in vinyl's 'residual magnetism', 5 orders of magnitude (100dB) below the earth's own (rather weak) field...
 
What a load of balls. Some people will fall for anything.

Neither vinyl nor CDs are magnetic, of course.

Actually I really don't care what they say how it works but I'll just try it (maybe this weekend).
A dealer will let me have one to try will be able to test it at my place: he said "it works great also on cables and tubes..". All his clients who tried it "heard a difference".
Well maybe I'll be the first one who will not.
Anyway around 2000€ for such a unit is quite a lot of money....

It does look very stylish though - maybe I'll get one as my coffee table centrepiece:) I can use it to demagnetise the digestives so they don't stick to my fillings:D
