The Fluxbuster does a better job on moving coil cartridges but is not recommended for moving iron and moving magnet cartridges as it can actually cause damage to them.  :shock:

This has a similar effect to using the Cardas sweep record (and it's free  :) )

I did this to demag the Grado cart that my son Bobby has mounted in his Thorens TT and it really helped "shake the cobwebs out."
Remember, it's all about the music........

Just tried it. I did a before and after listen and I think I heard some more clarity. Hard to tell because I certainly can't go backwards and check it out again.

In any case, it didn't hurt.
