Can you guys give me some input on using magnetic flux to dampen mechanical vibration associated with audio cables,ie: power, interconnect, speaker etc.? Could it not effectively counteract the influence sound waves have on the flow of electrons by concentrating them?
to dampen mechanical vibration the cheap way..place a 20lb vinyl clad barbell plate on top of your gear.You can burn the candle at both ends after you finish listening start your exercise program.
I don't see the difficulty, Elizabeth. Remember I'm referring to cables. I was thinking along the lines of magnetically sheathing the cable with something like fridge magnet material which would remain flexible, however maybe not powerful enough to make a difference. In any case, the primary question is whether magnetic flux would be beneficial.
Where did you determine that the sound waves from your speakers would have a measurable effect on the signals in your wires? And couldn't you just solve at least some such wire-related problems with a wireless setup?
Is there any real science to this - are there any studies that show measurable and repeatable effects on audio cable electrical signal from sound waves? Or at least anything that humans could possibly hear? I think that the only time & place I'd ever seen or heard anything like that claimed was from a boutique audio shop where their "good" speaker cable went at ~$1,000 a foot - and the guy never even smirked when he said the price...
I guess I'm kinda stumped by this - and by your solution. Do you have magnetic wire materials in your ICs or speaker cables? I don't know how strong a magnetic field you'd need to immobilize something like teflon-coated copper but I'd have to believe that magnetic induction would likely be a more problematic issue if the cables were somehow vibrating in the magnetic flux fields you introduced.
