I use mu-shield from time to time -- they sell a sample kit which is satisfactory enough for my needs.

Thanks for the link. Owners of unshielded Grado cartridges may be interested in this. A thin mu-metal disc that is placed on the turntable platter, beneath the mat, in order to shield the cartridge from the magnetic field of the turntable motor. Wonder what one costs?
