MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns?

I've used a demagnetizer on my Koetsus for years. They always sound cleaner after being demagnetized, which I do every few months. If there is any adverse effect on the first couple of playings after use, I haven't noticed it.

So, if you have to "break in" the cartridge after demagnitizing, and if the sound immediately after demagging is "harsh or edgy," then what's the point??

Cddunn99: (the last sentence) ...more detailed than before demag.

..and, from Albert: "Waiting a bit longer will net you sound as it was when new and fully broken in."

YES, but "Waiting a bit longer will net you sound as it was when new and fully broken in" seems to imply that demagging makes the sound "worse" for a while, but that it returns to "broken in" quality with some time. So, what's the point?

It stills seems to me that the statement, "waiting for the cartridge to break in or 'settle' to best sound again," with AGAIN being the operative word, is hardly a great recommendation.

I have never used this procedure, so I can't speak to it. But were I thinking about trying it, there is nothing here that would convince me.

RIVES...about your last sentence: you said "I can't prove this next statement."

I'm not trying to be difficult or beligerent...just trying to get more information!
