Iraser 4 sigma

The Iraser 4 Sigma should be standard in any high quality system.

Conclusion: The heading "One for all" was chosen deliberately. I don't know of any comparable product like the Iraser 4 Sigma, which can be used in so many different ways and which also has such a strong effect. The depiction is freer, more open, more airy, less veiled, full of plasticity and liveliness. Subtle nuances are handled with the same ease as large jumps in level. Existing dimensions are highlighted. The staggering of the instruments in breadth and depth wins. With corresponding recordings, the listener thinks there is a lot of air (pictured by the loudspeaker, of course). Brass players are portrayed tasting like brass. Anyone who enjoys hearing human voices will get the same good impressions. Voices are sharper, more supple, have more breath and a greater touch of liveliness. The Iraser 4 Sigma should be standard in any high quality system.

Conclusion: Marco Kolks writes in his assessment that the tested hi-fi accessories from Vortex Hifi "are among the useful things that help to increase enjoyment". I'll keep it short and add one more. Unfortunately, I didn't discover the secret of the Iraser 4 during the listening marathon, which is not the purpose of this report. But if we were already at the end of the year and I could award the “Best Buy” for this year, the Iraser 4 from Vortex Hifi would definitely be the favourite.
An afterthought: After looking through my test system, you noticed that I generally treat CDs with CD spray before playing them. I believe that I can save myself that by using the Iraser 4 in the future.

The Iraser 4 Sigma's job is to prevent unwanted Informationwhich build up in materials over time delete and to replace it with acoustically advantageous information. This creates an unprecedented, completely undisturbed musical experience. Even the simplest version, the Iraser 1 AIO, is one of the most popular among experts best accessory products.

The Iraser 4 Sigma has the latest and most powerful information concept for perception optimization that we have ever developed. It includes all previous optimization concepts such as E.g .: the all - in - one concept (AIO), i.e. the combination of interference suppression and stress relief. Furthermore, the PI technology based on semiprecious stones is included, which enables a strong imagination. Our diamond technique with different precious stones is not missing either, including real diamonds. These gemstones create an incredible transparency, an extreme wealth of detail and clarity. Our new Sigma techniques, such as oscillation alignment, will take you to a new level of holistic musical experience.

Application examples:

  • CD's: To erase, walk slowly across the entire surface of the CD.
  • LP's: To erase, walk slowly over the entire area of ​​the PCB.
  • Terminating connector (e.g. 75 ohms): Swipe along the connector.
  • Dust caps, made of plastic or metal: Swipe along the Dust Cap.
  • Analog cable: Slowly stroke the cable. Treat the plugs as well.
  • Digital cable: Move slowly along the cable (including optical cables). Treat the plugs as well.
  • Power cord: Slowly stroke the cable. Treat the plugs as well.
  • Speaker cable: Slowly stroke the cable. Treat the plugs as well.
  • Power connector strips: Swipe along all sides of the case. Slowly stroke the cable. Treat the plugs as well.
  • Rack floors: Especially with metal, plastic and glass. Swipe over the surfaces. In the case of glass surfaces, it is sufficient to treat approx. 1/3 of the surface, since glass conducts information strongly and the entire surface accepts the information. If a cell phone or DECT phone is always in a certain place, then you should treat this place directly.
  • Glass surfaces like windows: Walk slowly over the surfaces with the Iraser. In the case of glass surfaces, it is sufficient to treat about 1/3 of the surface, as glass conducts information strongly and the entire surface accepts the information.
  • Plug-in power supply and plug filter: Slowly walk the Iraser along the body of the power supplies or filters. Please also treat the power supply cable.
  • Table and floor lamps: Walk slowly along the lamp with the Iraser. For the power cord of the lamp, proceed as described under Power cord.

 

Example cable: Effects of the Iraser on cables and the stress caused by the cable when listening.

To show how effective the Iraser technique is stressful, biologically relevant information can remove from cables, we have one Kinesiological test carried out with a cable. The cable is held in front of the test person's chest in order to couple the information directly from the cable into the test person's own field. In normal operation, the information from the cable acts via the field radiated by the cable. These are mainly the ground disturbances which find the perfect antenna in the shielding. the Kinesiological test is therefore a stress simulation that has other factors in the real cable application.

Quick Start Guide Iraser 4 Sigma

This product contains a super magnet inside the wooden body. When handling the Iraser 4 Sigma, it is essential to ensure that the Iraser is handled as if you were holding a magnet in your hand. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to the following:

Figure 3, Iraser 4 Sigma, magnet (felt) on top

  • The Iraser does not belong in the hands of children. There is a risk of injury.
  • The Iraser is attracted to another magnet or magnetizable object in the vicinity, which can result in bruising and bruising of the skin.
  • Do not use the Iraser near loudspeaker chassis, as the magnet will attract it and break the membrane.
  • The Iraser must not be brought into close proximity to a pacemaker or the like.
  • Keep away from magnetic storage media such as: floppy disks, hard drives, USB sticks, digital cameras, credit cards, audio and video cassettes.
  • Do not use on displays.
  • The Iraser can cause technical equipment malfunctions in its immediate vicinity. For example, wristwatches, cell phones, computers or TV sets can be affected quickly.
  • The temperature of the environment should not exceed 80 degrees.

Magnetic fields

The Vortex HiFi Iraser 4 Sigma consists of a mahogany solid wood block with a milled chamber in which there are information-giving objects, such as over a dozen semi-precious stones, precious stones and also a diamond. In addition, the wood block was treated on the outside with 100% solvent-free, pure cold-pressed linseed oil varnish and coated with informed beeswax and on the inside with an informed ceramic. The heart of the Iraser 4 Sigma is an extremely strong, informed neodymium magnet on the underside of the Iraser, which has also been directly informed using a new process. For fixation, the chamber was then potted and closed with a soft felt strip so that no damage occurs during use. Figure 1 (above) shows the direction of the magnet with the white arrows. Since the magnet is located directly behind the felt strip, the magnetic field is strongest on this side. Objects to be treated should therefore be treated with this side of the wooden block.

Side faces

At the bottom (Fig. 2 white arrows), significantly weaker magnetic fields emerge from the side surfaces. This must be taken into account during storage. The magnetic field is weakest on the upper side (Fig. 2 black arrow arrow) and can be easily deposited on this side.

Deleting information

Test report Johannes von Polen HiFi.NL. His conclusion:

The conclusion is clear: In my experience, the Iraser Stick AOI from Vortex Hifi works perfectly with optical discs and simply spectacularly with LPs. And that for 99 euros…. The fact that I've sometimes paid more for less impact can be described as the understatement of the century. I urge music lovers to put up a little bit of buying a magic wand. You can always try it out without obligation. The Iraser Stick is one of the best accessories I've come across in thirty years. Here for the test

___________

Daniel Plaßmann from the online magazine audiophil-online tested the Iraser extinguisher and gives a clear recommendation! Compared to expensive demagnetizers, it speaks of a bargain and also points out that the Iraser is, above all, much more fl exible to use. He shows that with the Iraser you can really treat everything in the listening room - and achieve an improvement that has it all. Here for the test

In the current issue of Vortex HiFi, Marco Kolks from Hörerlebnis publishes findings on sound influencing factors in the area of ​​hi-fi components but also in the environment. In doing so, he encountered sound factors that he would never have expected - and above all not to this extent. On 16 pages, it describes how rinsing anti-interference agents under running water, but also wiping off electrostatically charged surfaces, has a clearly positive effect on the sound. Thirdly, he shows the sonic problems that arise with all objects that are exposed to fields and puts our Iraser wand through its paces. He comes to the realization:

Quote: The system conjures up music reproduction in my room with an abundance, intensity and tension, with a serenity and naturalness that I have always wanted, but I never had in this form ... ... listening to music after demagnetizing with the Iraser Rods and wiping different surfaces with a damp cloth is so much fun that you just listen and quickly forget the usual hi-fi questions. Given their ability to bring more music into the listening room, this is an inexpensive purchase. For me, one thing is certain: In the future, I will definitely take time for these tuning measures on a regular basis.

Information sound care

Forever young

How do you keep the sound of your system young?

Dear music lover, it happens again and again that the sound quality of our hi-fi systems fluctuates without us knowing the technical reason for this. Or we buy a device or an accessory and at some point we have the feeling that it no longer sounds like we experienced at the beginning. Are we just making up our minds? In HiFi, we have known the effect for decades that the sound improves when a 75 ohm terminating plug is used. However, if you take this tool, which used to work well, out of the system after a few years, you will be surprised to find that the sound is even better without it! Here it goes ...
