Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions?

The only idea more ridiculous than magnetized LPs is magnetized CDs. At least a phono cartridge is sensitive to magnetism.

I‘d like to ask two questions if I may.

1)Is the effect of de-magnetizing on the Classic Quietex clear vinyl audible or less pronounced? It seems to me if the source of the effect is inclusions this shouldn’t be audible ( or less so) on these records.

2)Is this procedure audible on systems less resolving than most or all of the posters above? I don’t have much money in my vinyl front end: High mass L75 Lenco / Sumiko MDC800 arm / Ewe bodied Denon DL103R / EE MiniMax phono stage and I’m wondering if a bulk tape eraser would be worth trying or not.

Thanks for any information / ideas you have.

Yeah, who ever heard of changing the path of optical particles with magnetic fields. ;-)

The only thing ridiculous about this is that some companies want to charge an audiophool "tax" on demag products. Even at $200, the Walker Talisman is over priced. But $1800 for the Furutech is way beyond stupid.

Demagnetizing interconnects works pretty well, too, yet I kind of doubt there's anything magnetic in interconnects. Are we missing something?

Geoffkait... I seem to recall some interconnects that featured magnets built into them. Go figure.
