Norm,
In a perfect world we wouldn't need any outside control devices such as AVM. I do use AVM and it is beneficial. I'm fascinated with the idea that a conductor transmiting current or voltage is being modulated by the conductance itself. If this modulation could be reduced at the conductor level itself then the whole pathway would be more accurate. Do tube designers or manufacturers design filaments with the idea that less self induced vibration would make for more accurate reproduction?
As for the magnets they work for me. The shielding may provide even better performance. I suppose I'll construct a shield of brass. Removing the ferrous front cover from my ac mains and hearing the improvement in doing so may have to do with the disruption of the flux field of the ac cables themselves. A non ferrous metal as a cover should make an improvement as well. Tom
