Ferrite cores on cables

Hi , 

 I have seen a few sets of speaker cables that use ferrite cores on both ends . I do use these on my power cords with good results . Have any of you tried these on your speaker cables ? IF so what results if any ? Thanks in advance . 

Happy listening , 

Chris

I believe it helps your fuel economy. No seriously, I had a neighbor who was sure and was going to rich!

Ferrite cores will strip away frequencies that are intended to be heard.

I have tried them and never heard a difference.

Theoretically I agree with goofyfoot.  I would never use them.

Practically I agree with mike-in-nc.   

Both of these reasons point to not using them in my opinion.

Years ago tried some a different yes things "seemed" quieter but also some high frequencies went missing.
