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 also think ferite tips are evil on speaker cables.  But here on power cables, it's good.

Only ever tried them on PC and made no difference at all.

I have never tried a ferrite core that didn't sound better OFF the cable.

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

Agreed. To my ears at least.

Use them on cables from TT to phono preamp to get rid of RF/EMI.  They did not cause a noticeable loss of other frequencies.
