Another nonsense CD audio accessory…or is it?

This is a very similar video to the one about the CD shaving tool but I’m certain it won’t get a fifth of the views due to the vagaries and whims of YouTube. See herding cats & platting fog to learn more.

Here’s the video - https://youtu.be/mH4v8b1tGSQ

The CD shaver video really wasn’t very good. It contained too much unstructured talking. I tried to curb that aspect here, but ultimately we’re just left talking about an inanimate plastic box with two buttons on it.

Behind the scenes info - after I reassembled the box I switched it on to take the shots for the thumbnail with the LEDs lit. After a couple of minutes I noticed smoke coming out of the case. I haven’t investigated the cause but I’m glad it only self destructed once it had served its purpose.

This device is now dead - no more demonstrations/tests/additional footage can be done with it. This video is complete. I’ve moved onto the next one.

In other news I was laid-up with illness for a few days this week. I was struck down with a shivery, aching, flu type thing. Of course I did daily plague tests and fortunately the results were negative. I’m only mentioning this here just in case I appear a bit under the weather in the video. I was attempting to hide a clammy sweat and a killer headache the whole time.

Anyway feeling better(ish) now - so I hope you get some entertainment from the video. I might talk more casually about these audio improver type devices with dubious-claims in a future patron-only update.

Oh and for those who haven’t seen it - I shot a section that was included in a Big Car video and you can see that video here: https://youtu.be/hv9MA2fNiCA I turn up at 22:30. Of course the whole video (and channel) is worth a watch if you’re in any way interested in automotive history.

Anyway - I hope things are good at your end, take care and many thanks for your support.

Demagnetizing CDs?!

A few weeks ago I shaved some CDs, now lets demagnetize one. *Note I've gone for the US English spelling of Demagnetized (despite my spell checker underlining it in red every time it's typed) as this the spelling convention used on the device itself.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early too, you can sign up to Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan
