One of the biggest snake oil devices was the CD Clarifier by the same person. It claimed to restore all the missing bits in your audio CD's using magnets and make the sound so much better. The missing bit syndrome touted to sell these Clarifier devices never addresses the fact that operating systems install CD's and DVD's such as Windows, Mac, and Linux cannot tolerate even one missing bit from the install CD or the install will fail. I can use the "verify" feature to compare the CD or DVD with the original source material and have rarely if ever gotten an error. Even years later the install media work perfectly, and audio CD's verify perfectly unless they have been badly abused or are ultra low grade media. The standard Audio Processing Chain for audio CD's has built in auto-interpolation for missing bits, which are rare. This makes listening to audio CD's that may have missing bits possible without having a large click or pop in the decoded audio. Anyone who has worked in digital audio processing knows enough to prove the claims are bogus. This guy has hundreds of expert videos on youtube worth checking out, he is quite skilled. https://www.youtube.com/user/jlindenas/featuredRead the comments here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2scoTYmxkModerators: if this post in any way presents a problem, simply delete it.
