Ok, I read somewhere comments to the effect that transformers such as one
might find on the input or output stages of micpres become magnetized over
time. And might sound better after demagnetizing, Never heard of that in my
training, what is the story with this? Is it neccessary, does it really
improve things (or not?) It is helps how often, and what is the procedure on a
console's micpres? What about microphones with transformers in them? Would
emaging them destroy the "vintage color", if so, would magnetizng make them
sound more colorful?

And is there a way to do the audio version of geomagnetic tilt correction
like on my Flat Screen TV? <G>
