Sipher 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 i'm just wondering how the demagnetizing track sounds like? can someone describe it to me?? hehe also, does "demagnetizing" the equipment improve the sound? or rather does it affect the overall sound of your system?

Sipher 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 so it will sound like a tone sweep from 20Hz to 20000Hz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sipher 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2003 ok i get the idea that after demagnetising, the sound will improve. i made this cd that sounds similar to those demagnetising tracks. it has: 20 30-sec one tone tracks at various frequencies. eg, 20Hz, 30Hz, 40Hz, ......., 1000Hz, .........., 18 000Hz, 19 000Hz, 20 000Hz 1 20-200Hz sweep tone 1 5-min 20-20,000Hz sweep tone. After playing the cd 2 times in my system, i notice some improvements. And my question to Mackie, if i'm not wrong, i remember that u did play the demagnetising tracks on my system once when i visit your place the other time. but i didnt notice any improvements back then.. why is it that i was able to hear some improvements this time round?

Mackie 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2003 A week late in replying but I was away, Sipher. U've subjected me to a question which only you yourself knows the answer. Maybe it's your mood, the environment or your increased discerning skills that have resulted in a positive ID of the pre and post demagnetised system.

Sipher 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2003 hmm.. that's what i thought too... anyway, the sweep tone that i created is abit different from the one found in the XLO cd. but i think that wont matter much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sipher 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2003 by the way, do u guys demagnetise your cans too?? is it advisable to do so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2003 I demagnetize my systems every one month or so if constantly used. Take note not to push the volume too high as the high freqs can cause voice coils to burn out albeit they might not sound loud to U. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
