Can I Degauss my vinyl ?

Certainly. Follow the same instructions as used on a picture tube. The movement toward and away is the big thing...
And do it on both sides? (not certain if needed on both sides)
ALL $$$$ Audiophile tweaks have cheap substitutes.. at least OMO!!!

Nope static and magnetism are different animals and BOTH can be removed from Lps.
The whole magnetic thing has been discussed and you would have to Google it as i am not going to go there, except to say that some intelligent audio folks swear by it.

Lewm: The way a degausser will magnetize is to turn it on, or off in close proximity to the item to be 'degaussed'.
The way to use any cheap degausser is to turn it on AWAY from the item to be degaussed. Then bring the degaussing coil or device up to the item and wave it around in smooth stokes and the slide it away smoothly. Once it is away from the item, then you can turn it off.
The item can be move up to the stationary degausser tool in the same manner if that is easier.
The specially made devices for degaussing Lps must have some method to prevent the problem, or the thing has to be turned on before the Lp is placed on it and after the Lp is removed...

you are welcome Blueskiesphd.
I may get or make a big ol' degausser to try it out too.
I would think one could do a bunch of LPs all at once too. A stack of five or so should be good, but that is just a guess..
