Ferrite Clamps for AC power cords?


I was wondering how many audiogoners use ferrite beads or clamps on their AC power cords. Did you experiment with locations, ie. near the AC outlet end or near the component AC cord side?

I have had very good luck with ferrites here in New York city where there is tons of RF. I place them one by one, because they can screw up the sound if put in a place not necessary. WHat I tend to hear is the entire system quieting down. I literally have to turn the volume up after placing them. The systems seems to sound a little dull at first. Instruments are bigger and splashier with harmonics and rf on the line. With the firrites, the instruments become smaller, more focused, purer with seeminglyu less high end, until you hear something that's tryuly in the treble range range, then you realy hear it bloom in it's own acoustic envelope. My spectral dma 50 amp sounded unimpressive with a new speaker I installed. Once I realized the ferrite was out and out them back in, the magic was back, and not in a euphonic way.
Ferrite clamps are cheap (I picked up a bunch of them off the 'net for $2 each). Like any other tweak, experimentation pays off, start at the input of your wires, and add on as required. Should you find the clamps are not for you, the money lost is negligible
Out of curiosity, are you guys ( and girls ) running the ferrites at the wall end or component end of the power cord ? Have you noticed a difference doing it either way ? Sean >
