Apologies for my technical curiosity, how did you re-magnetize a speaker magnet once the unit is assembled?

It's a machine called remagnetizer and they run an electric current around the magnet to magnetize it.Apologies for my technical curiosity, how did you re-magnetize a speaker magnet once the unit is assembled?
For me and used in my systems, ZYX and Audio Note IO LTD are unbeatebles on classical Records.
Kondo IOM and J. Allarts MC2 F1 are real near and i think they are really a very good alternative to the first two).
If i look to dynamics on single instrument (piano, violin etc), Ikeda can easily play the game (even better) with ZYX but you must accept a "voice" that ce be not perfectly aligned to neutrality.
Clearaudio is nearer to ZYX (but behind) in neutrality and near (but behind) in dynamics than Ikeda.
I feel it is a good cartridge interesting for listening a lot of differents kind of music (like and better than Micro Benz LP), but i have never felt with this cartridge my skin becoming "chicken skin" (i don't know if in the USA you use the same way to tell).

What arm and phono did you use it with? Will it work with fr64?
