Sumiko Flux Buster Demagnetizer

Greetings 

While I was reorganizing my shelves in my audio room I relocated my Sumiko Flux Buster. Haven’t used it in years. So I demagnetize my 2 MC cartridges and my passive SUT. I was amazed at the improvement of the clarity of the music. I have been using the Cardas test album the last few years to degauss the system. Side 1 tracks 2a/b/c frequency sweep. Seems to work well. The Sumiko worked much better on the cartridges and SUT.

Are others still using this device or similar devices? I’m glad I relocated the Sumiko. Will start using it more for MC cartridges.

Unless you know for sure that your cartridge can receive this treatment you can ruin it.   Check with the manufacturer

Ditto for your SUT! I wouldn't let a demagnitizer near my mc cartridges and SUT's!

The following is a statement I added to another Thread about the usage of a SUT.

It is interesting that your experience has made a very positive impression.

"One Treatment that is not suggested within this thread, is the use of a Degauss Device on a LOMC or SUT.

During the demonstrations carried out of SUT vs Head Amp vs Dedicated Built-In MC stages, when the Degauss Device is used, there is a notable audible improvement to the presentation when compared to the presentation that has not been degaussed. In very few cases the difference in the presentation is almost perceivable to the point it is seeming that a new Cart' is in use".
