Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge


If there is someone out there that owns a ZYX, can you please tell me if I should periodically demagnatize the cartridge.

OK years ago I owned a ZYX--before they were imported to USA. Loved that cartridge. An occasional demag improved the sound of my cartridge.

But.................the instructions on the demag suggested to try multiple passes of the demag cycle. Makes sense, no? One pass improves the sound, try another cycle and see if there is further improvement. This I do not suggest as it fried my cartridge.

So, do your demag, but please be careful.

Hi. I used the Aethetix to demag on my ZYX. But I stress, that the Aethetix is a good device and a single pass demag-ing the ZYX did positive results sonically. Doing multiple passes was unnecessary. And I would hesitate doing multiple passes on any cartridge.
