MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns?

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!

Cpdunn99, I will go out on a limb and speak for others who may have meant to infer that the "rebreakin" consists of a few LP sides of play, not on the order of a few dozen hours as might be the case with a new pickup. But, hey, if you are happy with the Goldring and find no need to demag, just enjoy. Why worry? :-)

Cpdunn, if you are concerned with momentary loss of performance in order to reach a goal of excellent performance after a short break in period, I suggest you not clean interconnects, speaker wires or ever shut down any of your gear.

There is no free ride with this, same as the rest of life in general. I don't see what the problem is. Do a little work, suffer with slightly poorer sound for a very short while, reward is significantly better sound for the next few months. What's to think about?
