Ric Schultz is a fraud. From their site:
"A testing facility in Canada contracted by Magnetic Innovations LLC tried testing very low level signals, as low as -59 dB from a full signal strength of 2 volts. They discovered that long after conventional audio cables significantly obscured test signals, High Fidelity Cables were still at work clearly transferring this low level information. In controlled tests, a system wide reduction of 14% THD and 14% IMD was measured. Signal to noise ratio improved by 1.5 dB which is significant. This test was conducted by a third party in a controlled environment, using an RCA cable with Magnetic Conduction technology (these results will vary with different systems)."
That's a lie. How, you ask, could someone know that? Because a basic understanding of distortion in audio systems shows that the vast majority of harmonic and intermodulation distortion come from the loudspeaker itself, and is caused by mechanisms over which the cables, amp, preamp, etc, have no control. Such a claimed reduction is simply impossible.
It's disgusting that this fraud continues to receive clients. If this fraud or his lackeys want to contest this, here's a simple way- post your results. Not some hand-waving claim, but actual test results with methodology and other real-world documentation.
Yep. It hasn't happened. It won't happen. The stupid graphic on their "magnetic" technology has nothing to do with magnetism. Basic engineering kids. It's a prerequisite for making anything worth using.
