magnetic shielding...how important is it?
how important is magnetic shielding of speakers to protect, say an ipod or a cell phone that is carelessly placed atop them?
am putting together an ipod-based bedroom system that will consist of a pair of small monitors flanking a wadia powedac/itransport on my bedroom dresser. if the speakers are within a foot or two of the wadia on either side do I need to worry about them damaging my ipod (120g classic, so not solid state) if they are not magnetically shielded? what about a blackberry haphazzardly tossed next to the speakers?
anyone have any thoughts that could weight in? or horror stories they could share that might save me the same fate? thanks!
