I've been thinking about getting a demagnetizer to make my old

any good and what kind of difference I could expect once I've
invested in one.
This is to go with my old Amstrad stack unit which is in my
bedroom. Do you think it would be a worthwhile buy for me?

Nope



I think he gotcha there, Dave...



Whilst ordering the demagnitiser, also buy a green felt tip pen, when
drawn around the outer edge of a cd it causes the red visible portion
of the laser to be absorbed rather than reflecting back giving better
resolution of the pits in the cd. Remember too to align your speakers
N-S so the Earths magnetic field doesn't dampen the speakers magnets.
Finally, if you soak your Amstrad system in parafin and then ignite
it , outside of course, this coming Monday night (5th Nov )then you
can get more entertainment value from it........


You've forgotten about one way speaker cable.
