Another Next Best Tweak

An improvement or a difference? Leave the magnets there for a week. After one week take them off and you will know if they are really an improvement.

Hi Ozzy,
I talked about using magnets in an earlier thread. I use them on my Synergistic Research MPCs with good effect. You can try them anywhere there are transformers in your system.

Colored magnets are quite interesting, too....red, green, blue depending on where placed - aluminum, steel, power plugs, glass, wood, etc. The colored magnets can be the low power inexpensive ceramic type, no problemo.

This does work, and I noticed an improvement in sound. I used a larger (stronger) Neodymium Rare Earth magnet on the Transformer side in My amp. I had it on for two weeks and can say it is an noticeable improvement, compared to not having the Neodymium magnet.

But being the Audio tweaker that I am, I put a similar size Neodymium magnet on the other side of the outside chassis of my amp. What happen was the sound became much cleaner sounding. The over all sound was louder, especially voices. But in away I liked the sound , but something was missing in the fullness area. So I tried a smaller Neodymium magnet and everything snapped right in place.

The nice but to lean sound was gone. The fullness was back, but better than with the one Neodymium magnet on the Transformer side. Dynamics were better as was the bass. So this combo of different size Neodymium magnets works in my current system. Power amps are the only place I have tried the magnets.

I used the Neodymium magnets on both of my Emotiva UPA-1 mono-blocs amps with great success. I only used one Neodymium magnet on each mono-bloc near the transformer.

Wish I would have thought to try the two magnet combo on each mono amp before I sold them.
