Thoughts on Magnetically-Shielded Cables?
Is shielding RCA cables with earth magnets a viable approach to shield the cables from RFI. I've searched far and wide on the web and can find no research info on this except one manufacturer. Does anyone have any familiarity with this? Below is a partial excerpt of the cable description from a reviewer.
'The manufacturer describes construction as incorporating a natural capacitive rejection of radio frequency interference by their construction alone, separates the conductors using a thin layer of Teflon (PTFE) between the send and the return conductors, as well as a large air gap dielectric, and protects this configuration by surrounding it with magnets. These magnets are specially ordered and are magnetically supersaturated in a multiple pole magnetization pattern, so their magnetic strength is evenly distributed across the surface. The cable tested here goes for quality materials ,combines 24k gold, 99.999% pure silver, and oxygen-free copper in a special formulation.'

Try it and see. Just try not to get caught up in the stories about why. Because I can tell you, with more examples than you would even believe, how many times the really good stories turned out to be completely wrong. By stories I mean pretty much everything from RFI to PTFE to five nine’s pure silver. Five nine’s pure BS, is what it is. Stories. How’s it sound? Try it and see. |
Ferrite clamps are not magnetic. Dumb comment. Yeah, try it with MC’s money. Any possible improvement was not noticeable at a noisy show. Clamps are for noise control, not cable enhancement. They actually degrade IC SQ. https://www.russandrews.com/us/rf-clamp-pack-of-2-small/ Put them on light cords in listening room for lower measured noise. |
