RE: So what's the deal with CD demagnetizers?

Posted by pictureguy on March 22, 2016 at 11:58:50:
OP says CD, not LP.

The only connection I can see between CD and magnetism is the paramagnetic proprties of the aluminum metaliztion layer.

As for demagnatizers doing ANYTHING to an LP? tenuous.
As for cables? Lots of stuff going on there including what is (IMO) a bad idea of mixing alloys which create potential ThermoElectric effects which MIGHT be enough to interfere with the very low voltages of phono carts. I think the few MV generated in this manner would be beneath the level of DC offset in many circuits.
