Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions?

OK,I'm getting sold on the Talisman(much less money,and real estate than the Furutech,which my friend still loves btw).
A few questions on it...Doug,do you use the Talisman?If so,do you use it away from turntable?I don't like the idea of usage near my cartridge!
As to the Furutech,my own experience was specifically my own set of tastes,and on some discs there was a definite improvement.The personal friend of mine owning it has major static issues in his apartment during cold weather.No amount of dehumidifying in room,or any type of audio accessories has helped this.This could very well have impinged the Furutech performance,in my case,and I am in NO way trying to voice anything other than an opinion about the device.
At the asking price,and especially with the amount of room it takes up,it just does not interest me(that's just me).
YET based on my regard for some posters here,I must look really hard at the Talisman,as long as it takes up less space than a tennis court,AND it appears to cost about as much as a nice two hour indoor block of court time.What's not to like?
BTW,would this negate the need for my RD-2 CD demag unit?
Thanks.

a bulk tape eraser is waaaay too powerful to use near a cartridge. It would be like lighting a candle with a flame thrower.

Sirspeedy,
You mentioned --- "No amount of dehumidifying in room,or any type of audio accessories____" --- I hope you meant humidify, in the winter the homes get dry and don't need dehumidification but the opposite. I'm sure it was a typo but just in case not thought I would point that out.

Pedrillo,"my man"!Hope there IS a HE-2008 in NYC,and we can say hello again!!Yes,you are correct!!HUMIDITY problem at my pal's place!
My problem, often times,is I am posting during work hours,and on the fly!!One reason for spelling errors,and many stupid posts!-:)
Best.

Sirspeedy, the Talisman comes with Lloyd Walker's satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied with what it does for you, send it back to Lloyd within 30 days in original condition and he'll refund your purchase price. (I recommend buying directly from Walker Audio, payment by check only.) Not much downside risk here.

As to use, I use it with the LP on the turntable and follow Lloyd's instructions (posted on his web site), keeping the Talisman always in my left hand well away from the cartridge.
