Can I Degauss my vinyl ?

Elizabeth, Thanks, but I was not asking for instructions. I was merely pointing out to the OP that he or she needs to know how to use an off the shelf degausser, properly. The product I was trying to think of is the Furutech, where it looks like a waffle-maker, and you simply insert the LP, close the jaws around it, and press a button. That device gradually increases and decreases the field intensity so as to mimic the act of moving a handheld degausser to and from the LP surface, for $2,700!!!

I'm not sure what it is demagnetizing either. Some of the static charge will cause a magnetic field, and maybe some of that is reduced.

Getting back to what would be my concern is the damage one of those TV units can do. Make sure you use it several feet, maybe at least six foot, or more to be safer, to reduce the risk of causing any damage to your electronic gear, plus something else in the area. Especially your turntable. Some watches may still be at risk too.

I had a large one in the 60's, and it was potent. I imagine the smaller ones still have a potent field around them also. Some do it yourself people did cause problems to a lot of things back in those days, using one of these.

Thanks Elizabeth for the instructions. I feel better now. like many tweaks this may only be a small improvement but I feel that many small improvements will add up to a better sound at my ears.

If you have the money get the Furutech Demag. My wife bought me one for Xmas. Works very well. It is expensive, glad I got mine as a gift. If you have a large collection it is worth it IMO. Many artical abought the Furutech mostly positive from audio reviewers.
The black particals that go into making of records can become magnitized over time.
I like my Furtech a lot, works very well on CD's also and looks great. Looking great does not mean it works but it does help with the price. Very well built.
Have not tried it yet on cables.
See if you can get one on loan? I'm sure you will keep it once you hear the improvment.
