Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions?

That is how I would describe it. Lower noise floor which allows one to better hear separation of the notes and stuff. This is definitely in the realm of insanity and one will get much more of an impact by properly cleaning their records. But I find the 10 or 15 seconds it takes is worth it, and I have yet to find a record that needs an additional treatment. Nor do I find any difference in static behaviors. I.e., I still have to use my zerostat gun.

Good answer, eld.
If the LP were magnetic/magnetized/paramagnetic or whatever, it'd induce a current in the cart if moving relative TOO the cart.
Even a paramagnetic material should show this property.

If something induces a current one could probably hear it, especially with a low output cart. I don't think lifting the motor at least a quarter of an inch above the lp is going to show much of anything as far as the tiny magnetic fields that these appear to be. Static, on the other hand, has been known to induce snaps and pops with an arm still on the rest. But that is built up potential that wants to jump to equilibrium. I don't know if this "technique" is actually removing magnetism or just causing them to orient differently.

I seem to recall that someone did try to measure this. Maybe it was soon after Fremer's article, I'll see if I can find it.

The only idea more ridiculous than magnetized LPs is magnetized CDs. At least a phono cartridge is sensitive to magnetism.

I‘d like to ask two questions if I may.

1)Is the effect of de-magnetizing on the Classic Quietex clear vinyl audible or less pronounced? It seems to me if the source of the effect is inclusions this shouldn’t be audible ( or less so) on these records.

2)Is this procedure audible on systems less resolving than most or all of the posters above? I don’t have much money in my vinyl front end: High mass L75 Lenco / Sumiko MDC800 arm / Ewe bodied Denon DL103R / EE MiniMax phono stage and I’m wondering if a bulk tape eraser would be worth trying or not.

Thanks for any information / ideas you have.
