Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge

I run the Cardas record's de-mag sweeps past my UNIverse every month or so. It helps clear out a few cobwebs, though the ZYX doesn't need it nearly as much or as often as my old Shelter 901.

I would not risk an active demagnification unless nakatsuka-san himself said it was safe. AFAIK, he hasn't.

Cheers,
Doug

Doug is right on the money. It might be dependant on which model ZYX one has, but the Cardas Frequency Sweep LP (available at Acoustic Sound for less than $ 30.00), makes a nice improvement when used regularly in my system.
.
I find that I can hear clear improvements if I use it every 3 weeks. The longer I wait to use, it the more improvement is discernable.

I would definitely get the Cardas LP and see what it does in your system.

I have the Benz Aesthetix Demagnetizer, but I have never used it on the ZYX Yatra. Sounds like from your comments that I should not. What is the difference between it and the Cardas LP? I have to say that I love the sound of this cartridge. I play very few CD's these days.
