Furutech Destat or Walker Talisman or both?

It is worth a try, Tom. WARNING, keep it far away from your cartridge!

The idea is to hold the magnet close to the lp without touching them. Move the eraser or the lp around to be sure the field gets everywhere. Then slowly remove the lp from the magnetic field so that "things" are left evenly dispersed.

Listen to an lp first. Then try the demag. If done correctly you should hear more low level detail and clarity.

Once you get the hang of it you can apply the same technique to your cables and tubes, if you have them. Just remove them from your system and do the demag'ing on the floor or a table.

I use both and highly recommend them. De Stat also can be used on your gear and cables with very good results also.

I just tried Dan ed's advice. I have an old GENEVA Audio/Video Tape Eraser which I used to use to erase VHS tapes and demagnatize CDs. I listened to Bill Evans Trio, "Waltz for Debby" and Brubeck's "Blue Rondo a la Turk" on Time Out. Then I demagnatized each record by swirling the GENEVA around very slowly and very close to the record surface and then pulled it away and turned it off. I then listened again, and sure enough, there was a very subtle increase in detail across the frequency range. The drum sticks and brush work on the symbals became more clear and distict. It had been a bit tizzy before. Also I heard slightly more body to the bass and harmonics from the strings. The effect was small but noticable. It is definately worth trying and experimenting with.

Thanks everyone I ordered the DeStat.

Glad you found a solution, Peter. I'm glad I could share what I've learned about demag. Remember that you still need to use anti-static, like a Zerostat or DeStat.
