Stehno,The improvement to my ears is LARGE. Having watched what happens to the credibility of postings written in the first flood of enthusiasm, my objective is to under-promise and over-deliver. However I suspect that you will never make the investment in a demagnetizer unless the scale of the improvement is apparent. I used mine for ripping 10,000 CDs and then considered it largely a waste of time until this tweak transformed its value for my audio system. If it were a small improvement, I would sell the Walker Talisman as I cannot be bothered with regular efforts to effect small improvements. No, this is large and more than worthy of our time.
As you say, distortion is clandestine and its effect often recognized only by its partial elimination unlike vibration whose overt presence is manifested by hollowness in and haze over the musical notes. Do get a Walker Talisman - you'll be pleased with the large positive effect on your sound when using it as described in this tweak.

You can use virtually any degausser.
Geneva company made a hand held unit claimed to have 2800 gauss power, the strongest hand held machine they claimed. They no longer make it but you can find a occasional unit over on Ebay. Original price was $75 for reference.
I use the Geneva.
Mostly, though, on ebay i find Radio Shack tape erasers. They are relatively cheap and work well. average price about $35.
FWiW and YMMV
Uncle Stu,
True. I owned and sold both The $35 Geneva and the far more professional $79 Han-D-Mag by R.B. Annis before purchasing the $210 Walker Talisman. In my opinion for most applications and users the Walker Talisman is a great deal more user-friendly and effective because the distance at which it should be held from the object is far less critical.
