Can I Degauss my vinyl ?

Lewm:

You mean iron contaminents in the vinyl? Even if there were, one would have to draw a connection between the amount of contamination and the properties of the vinyl. Seems a very big stretch to me.

As I said, I am and always have been a skeptic when it comes to this issue. But then we have the many who say they do hear a difference before vs after using a degausser. Their collective testimony does not convince me, because of the element of subconscious bias, but it does more or less cause me to try to keep an open mind.

I have always tried to keep an open mind assuming there is a reasonable scientific or engineering reason to support a particular tweak. But I don't think I will be degausing my records anytime soon.

Since the last post on this thread has anyone tried a tape head demagnitizer and were the results positive?
