FURUTECH DeMAG LP DEMAGNETIZER Owners

Benjie, I was under the impression that one only has to demagnatize the LP once or perhaps a couple of times a year. I think Fremer writes this in his review in Stereophile.

But I noticed that Ebm uses both each time he listens just like Benjie does. Do you find that the demag effects wear off after time?

Thank you Benjie. That is most interesting and unfortunately not what I wanted to learn. I don't really want to have to use my hand held bulk tape eraser for each play and certainly not near my system. What a pain. Perhaps its time to consider the Furutech devices.

It should be pointed out technique is critical when using the handheld demag devices as it is very easy to put the magnetic charge back on the disc if the button is released when the demag is too close to the disc. There is also the distance of the device from the disc to consider, 1/2 inch most likely too close. I suspect a minimum of one inch is correct. I also suspect demag of both sides of a disc might be a little excessive.
