Battery-Operated Device Restores Moving-Coil Phono Cartridges to Full Potential: Hear Improved Dynamics, Soundstages, and Nuances with the Aesthetix ABCD-2 Cartridge Demagnetizer

Restore your moving-coil phono cartridge to full potential in minutes with the Aesthetix ABCD-2 MC cartridge demagnetizer. By eliminating the sonic veils that occur due to compromised electromagnetic performance that naturally happens in an MC cartridge during playback, the battery-operated ABCD-2 restores dynamics, nuances, and soundstaging. You’ll hear more definition, openness, and detail. Equally important, it does not impact the cartridge's residual sonic signature. 

Plus, it’s easy to use and runs on two AA batteries. Just plug your tonearm's RCA connectors into ABCD-2 every week or two. In practical terms, ABCD-2 neutralizes the unwanted magnetic charge inside the moving-coil generating system, restoring optimal potential in a matter of minutes. Essential for all MC cartridge users!

Please note: ABCD-2 cannot be used on MM cartridges.

How ABCD-2 Works
A moving-coil phono cartridge is basically a coil of wire wound around a piece of iron (or ferrous material) suspended within a magnetic field. This electrical generator is activated by the phono stylus in the record groove, moving the wire coil and generating a signal to be amplified and reproduced by your loudspeakers. Think back to a simple science experiment placing a pin against a strong magnet for a few minutes. Afterwards, the pin, which is made of ferrous material, becomes magnetized enough to attract another pin. Today's best MC phono cartridges use very strong magnets such as neodymium and samarium cobalt. When the moving coil absorbs some of the magnet's charge, the sound becomes murky and less defined. This is because the magnetized coil does not generate as great a variation as it moves within the magnetic field of the phono cartridge. ABCD-2 neutralizes the unwanted magnetic charge of the moving coil, restoring full performance in a matter of minutes.
