Demagnatizing Phono Cartridges


I'm curious as to how many of the analogisti demagnatize their cartridges. What do you use and how often to you do it? Is this really essential -- is the magnetism a cumulative thing that palpably degrades sound?

Many cartridge manufacturer's say DON'T use an electronic cartridge demagnetizer. Having purchased a Koetsu RSP through our Tokyo office, I got an email to Mr. Shugano. He is strongly against them. Of course, there is some degradation of the permanent magnet when you use an electronic demagnetizer. There is just a great deal of disagreement as to how much the degradation is. I only use the Cardas Sweep Disc now.
