You have to admit that a nanotesla is pretty weak, especially a few mm away. And lowering just a tiny amount from 625 to 580? That a human being could perceive anything like this truly stretches the imagination.
The turntable platter, motor belt and nearby transformers, copper wiring etc. of a system would have magnetic properties that would likely totally swamp out this tiny 45 nanotesla reduction in record field strength.
However, I can easily see and hear (SNAP, CRACKLE, POP) the thousands of volts stored up in the record from static electricity.
