I also have Densen's DeMagic CD. Again, many people say its effect is

it every couple of months and haven't noticed a change. Perhaps I
haven't given my electronics enough time to get magnetically out of
alignment. It's preventive maintenance, then.


It's more likely sighted bias.


How does sighted bias explain that I noticed the effect the 1st time but
not any other time? All those times I played the Densen CD my sight was
good and the Densen CD looked the same

That's a rather quick and hasty dismissal, don't ya think?

CD


Please explain the theory on how a commercially stamped CD (which has no
magnetic properties) can be affected by demagnetizing? Most likely, you hear
a difference because you WANT TO, having spent the money on the device.
subsequent listenings do not elicit the same response as the first because
you have already heard the difference that you wanted to hear the first time
and that your expectations are that once treated, the disc shouldn't change.
Therefore it doesn't.
