Insight has increased in recent decades that electromagnetic phenomena resulting, among other things, from wireless communication can have a negative effect on the perceived performance of audio and video systems. In this context one speaks of electrosmog. I want to save what electrosmog is and how it affects devices and people for a later article. For the moment I would like to leave it at the conclusion that there are accessories on the market that aim to combat the adverse effects of electrosmog. For example, there is the German brand Creaktiv Systems with a very extensive range. Most of these are objects made of hard glass that have been treated according to a very secret procedure. Contact between such an object and a device or CD leads to “information”. of that and that in turn leads to a better sound. It sounds like science fiction or total nonsense, but there’s no denying that it works. The effect has been demonstrated by measurements. At home I use almost the complete range of Creaktiv Systems.

The first generation of products from Creaktiv Systems was developed by the German Norbert Maurer. Maurer started his own business a few years ago. He now offers comparable products under the brand name Vortex Hifi. According to importer Daluso, the latest insights have been incorporated into the range of Vortex Hifi and these products therefore go a step further than the older accessories from Creaktiv Systems. The accessories of Vortex Hifi are available from Kemp Elektroniks and King Audio. Â

The Iraser Stick AOI A completely original development of Vortex Hifi is the so-called Iraser Stick. Bizarrely, the accessory is shaped like a magic wand! It shouldn’t get any crazier! Was this form chosen as a provocation of the skeptics? There are three types. The most advantageous has the addition of AOI in the name and contains a diametric magnet on one end. The magnetic field is perpendicular to the stick. The two more expensive types also have an axial magnet at the other end; that field faces along the stick. I only tested the AOI.

The the intention is to slowly stroke the magnet along the object to be treated in a number of strokes, such that the entire surface is reached. The red sticker on the magnet must point at right angles to the object. That object to be treated can be a CD, an LP, but also a cable or a device, yes, even â ?? windows and mirrors! â ???? Hocus pocusâ ???? no need to shout. The effect is said to be based not only on degaussing, but also on â ???? informâ ???? Hence the name â ???? Iraserâ ???? and not â ???? Eraserâ ????.

The magnet is powerful; so be careful with speakers! Before you know it, the end of the Iraser will find the magnet of the driver and there is a hole in the cone!

For the same reason the Iraser also does not reach the element holding a record player. I also don’t see the idea of ​​moving the magnet in the vicinity of current-carrying cables and devices; the importer also advises against this. The Iraser comes with clear instructions for use including these warnings. Since I don’t feel like switching off the equipment and dragging the cables from behind my rack, I only rated the Iraser as an audio carrier handler. So there is more to do with it.

The effects of the Iraser Stick AOI on CDs The test procedure is simple: just grab a number of CDs that I can dream, listen to a piece , treat, listen to the same piece again and note any differences. So that treatment amounts to striking the CD with the magic wand, an activity that could lead a casual observer to call a psychiatrist (â ???? John is lostâ ????) â ?? ¦. Â

By the way, I have sometimes has been criticized that this approach is “non-scientific” ???? is. Well, that’s right. We have to go to university for science. I only pass on my subjective experiences. These can then be an interesting reason to try it without obligation. Everyone will always have to listen for themselves and trust their own ears. That is the essence of our hobby. Incidentally, I have never seen a serious music lover come to very different conclusions than I did â ?? ¦.

The Iraser works! After treatment I notice improvement in all parameters. It all sounds a bit more informative, calmer, more spacious. The effect is roughly in the same order of magnitude as that of some other accessories that handle CDs. These devices are considerably more expensive than the Iraser Stick. A very satisfactory result, therefore, which more than justifies the purchase of this remarkable product. The biggest surprise was yet to comeâ ?? ¦Â

The effects of the Iraser Stick AOI on LPâ ?? ?? s That surprise occurred when I put the baton on a lp let go. Wow! A much greater effect than with CDs. This is a revelation rather than “audible”. In classical music, strings and brass sound significantly less sharp and more natural; the background becomes quieter and there is more overview in the sound image. The music breathes more and blares less. I think the difference is so big that even people who don’t listen to much music would notice it.

I had a strange experience with the lp Winelight by saxophonist Grover Washington. The title track is supported by a powerful bass line. This bass sounds a bit dominant and greasy on my set. Who can describe my surprise: after treatment a controlled and clean bass came out of the speakers. You can hardly call this an improvement anymore. Rather a complete â ???? restructuringâ ???? of the music.

I found Another handy procedure: I let the LP rotate on the turntable and slowly move the stick with the red tip pointing upwards radially outward. Of course this is only possible with a plateau that does not attract the magnet. A funny detail is that the powerful magnet of the Iraser sticks to the metal intermediate plate in the base of the VPI. With this permanent place, I always have the baton at hand. This was not recommended by the importer because the intermediate plate also becomes magnetic. Too bad then, this is too nice to leave it.

Conclusion The conclusion is clear: the Iraser Stick AOI from Vortex Hifi works fine in my experience with optical discs and nothing short of spectacular with LPs. And that for 99 euros â ?? ¦. The fact that I have sometimes paid more for less effect may be called the understatement of the century. I urge music lovers who have to overcome something for the purchase of a magic wand. You can always try without obligation. The Iraser Stick is one of the best accessories I’ve come across in thirty years.
