==Tape recorders== In tape recorders such as [[Reel-to-reel audio tape recording|reel-to-reel]] and [[Cassette tape|compact cassette]] audio tape recorders, remnant magnetic fields will over time gather on metal parts such as guide posts tape heads. These are points that come into contact with the magnetic tape. The remnant fields can cause an increase in audible background noise during playback. Cheap, handheld consumer degaussers can significantly reduce this effect.<ref>{{Citation|date=November 1975|title=Operating instructions β 10XD Stereo|publisher=Tandbergs Radiofabrikk A/S|publication-place=Oslo, Norway|language=en|page=26}}</ref>
