Anyone into cassettes?
Not only the click when changing tracks but the fade out and fade in during the best part of the song. Yeah those were the days as a captured listener in the back of the family station wagon with Andy Williams and the Osmonds blaring full blast on...

Or that scene from Quest For Fire, where the tribe is left shivering wet and cold because their fire keeper lost the flame, so the leader and a couple of sidekicks go on the quest.  Clearly, new technology was needed. And by golly the woman showed... 
Cartridge Demagnetization: Moving Magnet/Iron vs Moving Coil Processes
I have to chime in here as, after many years of owning and enjoying both MM and MC cartridges, I no longer believe this demagnetization stuff at all. I had an Aesthetix Rhea for a couple of years and I used its demag function on both Lyra Delos an...
