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.

Ricker theory of general demagnitization for the WIN.

i use same record and tribal belief system in my rituals.

i have a Pristine flux buster in the garage….should get around to selling it…once i figure out how to exorcise all the top Quarks….

Seems gravity has to do with time dilation due to mass of earth. Who woulda thunkit?

SUTs don’t become magnetized.

It’s physics of the metals used to build SUT cores. 

How so - most SUT's have some %age of iron and therefore could become magnetised. Is this the new science where the iron could identify as a non ferris unicorn ?

Dover, you raise a good question, and perhaps I was flippant in making that claim, since I was thinking of nickel and other metals that are not iron-ish.  But I also think it is that even if the core does magnetize while the SUT is in use, it does not hang on to the magnetism when shut down.  Ergo, no need to demagnetize. Dave Slagle would be the ultimate authority on that.
