Magnetization & Demagnetization any conclusions?

Does the furutech improve sound? Does a record have the potential to become magnetized- and how easily??
I am planning on adding magnets to the bottom of my platter and the top of my plinth to take some weight off of the bearing. Then it occured to me, am I going to start introducing a magnetic charge to my records and cartridge?
Anyone have an idea how far is safe for a magnet to be before it starts to influence other materials? At this point I have 4 3/4 between the magnet and the record.
Thanks

Sirspeedy,
You mentioned --- "No amount of dehumidifying in room,or any type of audio accessories____" --- I hope you meant humidify, in the winter the homes get dry and don't need dehumidification but the opposite. I'm sure it was a typo but just in case not thought I would point that out.

Sirspeedy,
What humidifier does your friend own?
If it is the ultrasonic type you will want to let him know that it leaves a calcium deposit on everything in the room if the machine is not maintained properly. My unit has a small container within the unit that gets filled with some kind of substance to reduce the calcium from spreading into the room.
The best humidifier available is the one that has rotating disks that sit in a reservoir of water and a fan blowing the air around the disks to humidify the air. It is the venta I believe. Keeping our rooms humid also effects our health so it is an important issue.
