Can I Degauss my vinyl ?

Isn't that what a zerostat does? Although for 100 bucks it is arguably a little on the expensive side.

How is it that vinyl can become "magnetized"?. Static electricity can be a problem, but I fail to see how a record becomes magnetized. Sounds like voodoo to me!!

I must be missing something here. How can vinyl become magnetized? Statically charged I can understand, but magnetized? Degaussing is the process of reducing or eliminating a magnetic charge. Vinyl, being non-ferrous, should not be able to become magnetized so how would a degaussing device be doing anything? Do they also remove static charges?

Zerostat takes care of static which I assumed the poster meant.
