Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's

I don't really know if one needs to do both sides. This is just how I've done it without really experimenting more with technique. I'm curious about how others do it.

I have a GENEVA brand bulk audio/video tape eraser. I bought it for $99 about
ten years ago and don't know if it is still available. It does make a difference.
The sound is cleaner/clearer and dynamics are improved.

LP's do get magnetized. I've read that it is not the ink on the label, it is the
metal in the vinyl formula that is used to make it black. Over time it picks up a
charge. I don't really know the how or why, but I do notice an improvement. I
demag an LP once after I clean it. It is part of my cleaning regimen. I also use
the Cardas sweep LP once a week to degauss the system.

The more revealing a system is, the more noticeable this stuff is, IMO.

Scratch that! My demagnetizer effects the listeners and how they feel about listening to music, it does nothing for the vinyl. Same as my Acoustic Revive RR-77.

Lewm, I think you are referring to MikeLevigne and his son-in-law not to Dougdeacon.

George, those are great questions and I look forward to reading how Doug and Dan use their devices. I have a bulk tape eraser which I use to demagnetize LPs.

After the record goes through my cleaning procedure, I put it in a new inner sleeve and then on a flat surface. I then turn on the tape eraser and start rotating it very slowly clockwise starting at the label and moving outward keeping the distance constant - about 1/8th of an inch from the record surface.

I spend about a minute and three revolutions from label to outer edge and then flip the record over and do the other side.
