Whoever thought a Chinese made degausser for old school CRT TVs works wonders for Cables,ICs, Plugs CDs and LPs and whatever your imagination can conjure!

The difference is NOT SUBTLE AT ALL!
On CDs and Lps I zapped
:Soundstage, depth, width and details took a huge leap and air, woah!

So what's the catch?It gets hot so you need to let it cool down between zapping.Use in short bursts of 20secs(treating a CD that would be 10secs each side) and not more than 3mins continuously(as per stated in the instructions). Oh, remove your watch!

The ad describes it as a 250 volt unit. Didn't see a 120 volt unit. Got to be VERY careful with a guy who cant even spell "elektricity"

Wow! The Chinese have figured out how to degauss non-magnetic substances!

 Pure bunk.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

 If you go to an old TV repair shop you could probably get a bucketful for free. I did hear years ago that the magnetic field from the degaussers was so strong that it could cause harm to carbon based life forms. Back in the olden days I took TV and radio repair and I think they encouraged us to tape the device to a broom handle so as not to get too close. They were also used as a crude bulk tape eraser. I can't say what it might do to a CD, LP or IC, but I wouldn't want to try it on anything of value...

Get your other half to operate and call you when its done, before you get home

I agree too, NOT, on anything of value, such as the brain.

Best used on Cables,Media like CDs and LPS, Plugs, CD Pugs/Record Weight and TUBES: pre and power tubes.

 Vinyl isn't magnetic,...(electrostatic maybe, but not magnetic)...
I think the improvements you are hearing may be most likely imagined...

 Dude, it reads Destat and Demag.Like you have imagined, that it won't work but you still ordered it.

 LPs and cds are nonmagnetic.. they do build a static charge though..
try bounce dryer sheets
.
The trouble with doing nothing, is that you can't tell when you are finished.

 Dude,
Your reply doesn't make any grammatical sense, and I for one didn't buy it.
