RE: My point is

6.5% reduction is about 0.6 dB. Not a big deal, even if the noise or distortion is loud to start with and is not masked. The tweak may work, but the explanation given is highly suspect.

The effect is relative to the magnetic fields in the cartridge itself, as they will determine the relative level of this noise to the desired audio signal. Different cartridges will have different susceptibilities to low level residual magnetism. It would be necessary to measure the spatial distribution of the residual magnetism or otherwise obtain a frequency spectrum of any resulting noise before one could tell if any masking were taking place.
