What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed

Al, nice post but I have a few questions. One is if it's true that magnets can affect the electrons in the conductor how would they affect them? Logically, I suppose it's possible that electrons can be attracted by the positive pole of a magnet or repelled by the negative pole, you know, given that electrons have a negative charge. But if what just said is true the what would that mean? If electrons are attracted by the magnet then wouldn't the electrons more or less pool around the location of the magnet? If they are repelled by the magnet which way would they move? If the magnet is circular and attached around the magnet how would that affect the electrons - repel or attract or both? If the electrons are neither attracted to the magnet or repelled by it, how do you think they are being affected? And if the electrons are being attracted and or repelled how does that affect the sound one way or another?

Thanks, Geoff. I have no idea, though, what the answers might be to your questions. All I can say is that it seems conceivable that a magnetic field could affect the signal, although not necessarily to an audible degree.

Stanford researchers control light using synthetic magnetism.

I haven't been able to replicate this at home in my audio room yet, but I am working on it. Tom

Al, I realize this next series of comments is beyond the scope of this discussion but I'd thought I'd throw it out there anyway, perhaps to see what you think. As I think I probably mentioned somewhere along the line on this thread, I have been using magnets in audio applications for a very long time. Furthermore, I have found them to have a positive effect on the sound. But the kicker is where I am using magents. I am using them on windows, on doors, on transformers, on cell phones, on TVs, on wood book cases, on mirrors, among other things. See, I told you it was beyond the scope. Lol. Now, having said all that I should also mention that the color of the magnet is quite important and depends on the object on which it is placed. For example, for steel blue, for aluminum red, for glass green.

Geoff, sounds like a sort of audio-related counterpart to feng shui. It's not for me, but to each his own....
