Moving Coil Cartridge Demagnetizing


How important is it to demagnetize moving coil cartridges? How often should it be done? Any advice appreciated!

you won't realize what a difference it makes to demagnatize your moving coil cartridge until you do it for the first time. i prefer the aesthetix (benz) demagnatizer, finding it easier to use than my "classic" fluxbuster. i try to demagnitize after about 10-15 hrs of playtime.
You cannot demagnatize a MM cartridge the way you do a MC without damage to the cartridge. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that the stylus must be removed from the body to avoid damage to the cartridge.
I use the fluxbuster.I have a Cardas ter. block that has rcas from the phono wire.No need to remove the cartridge. I also have the Cardas 'sweep' lp.works for me;I use both.
