Title: Demagnetizing a cartridge
Post by: BSD2000 on November 23, 2011, 04:19:55 AM
Has anyone tried this?

Cartridge Demagnetization (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TkJ_wwkbNA#)

I would love to see the inside of the
Benz-Aesthetix MC cartridge demagnetizer (http://www.musicdirect.com/p-207-aesthetix-abcd-1-cartridge-demagnetizer.aspx). How complex can it be for $199?

What's the purpose of demagnetizing a cartridge?

I never heard of demagging a cartridge but the Vinyl. Classic records looked into this and produced the "CLARITY Vinyl Formula" which doesn't use magnetic metal particles like Black Vinyl.
