Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's

Try Steinmusic Conditioner DE3. U won't believe it's effective unless u try it

Doug, I am really surprised to read that your nephew thinks the effect may be to reduce or alter static charge. Can you ask him how that could be, when one generally thinks of magnetic fields as they relate to ferrous materials and not at all to static electricity? I would love to understand more about this. Any "molecules" that are affected would have to be iron-containing ones and thus inorganic (generally meaning, molecules not containing carbon or nitrogen; altho some organic molecules, e.g., hemoglobin, can hold ferrous ions based on charge). Surprised also to learn that there is iron, or ferrous compounds, in the vinyl of an LP; that's the first fact that leads me to believe there could be something to this. But ferrous materials in CDs and DVDs? OK. I will be the demag soon.

Should read, "I will be GETTING the demag soon."

Anyone try an old TV Degausser? Any idea how strong one of those might be vs a bulk tape eraser?

Thanks Terry

Lew, I never said anything about static charge. Nor did I quote my nephew. Were you thinking of someone else?
