Yes, they work. For me, some seem to work better than others but the best for me is a freeby from a magazine HiFiChoice. Some expensives ones are only so so. Stereophile used to sell a disc as well.
I don't know of a good free source but the discs are not expensive if you look. A detuned FM signal is sometimes used for burn in.
For demagnetising goto

Such tracks can have a significant 'clean-up' effect.

Thx.
Is the HifiChoice track available for download?
I do own a Densen DeMagic track.
Unfortunately not; it was a long time ago. But I was told that it was from Isotek.
Doesn't the Densen disc offer burn in? Otherwise why not just record white noise and repeat wide spectrum classical at high sample rates?
This is just to point out that for anyone using active louspeakers the demagnetiser tracks will not work. You should be able to work out why.
Please explain.
It's because demagnetising tracks use a sweep tone to demagnetise using hysterisis. As the electronic crossover in an active system blocks part of the tone sent to each of the amplifiers anything in the circuit beyond the electronic crossover will not be demagnetiised.
Burn in is different as it is not necessary to maintain an uninterrupted sweep of frequencies to work.
Ah, makes sense. Thanks.
