o test the DeMag alpha, we select a rather bright recording of Simon & Garfunkel’s The Boxer. We first listen to the track before demagnetisation and there is the expected slight harshness to the vocals. Next we demagnetise the LP and play the track again. We are not expecting what we hear – it isn’t a subtle change, but a significant refinement of the entire sound with the vocals in particular enjoying a greater presence in the room. The accompanying guitar is clear with additional tunefulness and, when the rhythmic patting on the drums begins, the sound is much more musical and punchier.

We next select a CD of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier played on piano by Friedrich Gulda. Following on from demagnetisation, the piano sounds more convincing as if there is a real instrument in the room. The vast complexities of the performance appear to be better recorded and give a more accurate rendition of the piano and the acoustics of the room where the recording was made.
