I think you got a point there - I've been using an old Nakamichi tape demagnetizer for almost 2 years now and I also feel that the more paint and stuff is on the label side of a CD, the more I hear an effect of the demagnetizer. I can hear it on almost all CDs, as a mulit-hour test with a friend about a year ago showed. Now, since then, I have transfered almost all my music to black CD-Rs which have almost no lable paint on the non-business side. At the same time I switched transports and for a while I thought the transport switch alone had reduced or even eliminated the effect of the demagnetizer. I almost stopped using it. However, just a few weeks ago I tried it again with a factory new CD that had a full 4-color print screen on the label side - the result was profound, even on the new transport.Why does it work? I have no clue, but that doesn't keep me from using the tweak.
Another thing you want to do with the demagnetizer is demag the tubes in your tube preamp if you have any. The effect of that has actually been measured by somebody in the bottlehead forum. Not sure how often you have to do this, but I tend to do it once a month just to make sure it's still good. First time I did it the result was quite amazing.
