I purchased some powerful Neodymium Rare Earth Rod Magnets about 3/8" diameter and 1" long that are axially magnetized, Poles On Flat Face. They sell for about $4 each). I placed two of these per speaker cable at the end near the speaker spades. With the opposite pols pulling towards each other through the wire. They grab like hell and will stay in that position.
There is an improvement in sound quality. I wonder if this is what Virtual Dynamics was doing?
Hi Ozzy. The use of Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets sounds worth trying. I just looked at a webpage for such and now need your advise. What strength, size shape etc should I try?
Marvin, Check out my original posting for the size and shape. I like the rod style because they won't slip off and grab together like the flat style does. As to strength, I just bought what was in that size. The Neodymium Rare Earth magnets all seem to be very strong. So strong that when the poles are together it is quite a feat to pull them apart.
For those experimenting with magnets, some other interesting places to try them is on power cord plugs, any steel or aluminum case of electronics, on wood bookcases and other wood furniture.
