Tom, you forgot to mention magnets that are present in both MC and MM cartridges otherwise there will be no emf i.e. electro-magnetic force.

Lyra Helikon manufacturers quote the following:
I'd say proceed with your ehem... confidence of demagnetizing I guess these valuable magnets that is a part of cartridge's structure and continue to trust ehem... "engineers"(I guess from the Immedia distributor domain).

Lyra Helikon manufacturers quote the following:
The Lyra Helikon uses a polepiece-less magnetic system. The signal coils operate in a magnetic field created directly by two powerful, precisely shaped disc magnets of nearly equal size, mounted fore and aft of the coil gap - in the simplest and purest manner possible.
