Tweak you gotta try. Post your results...

Well I read some reviews about the new High Fidelity cables that were designed by the former owner of Virtual Dynamics. They seem to be using magnets as their claim to fame in their design.

I happened to have some rod type axially magnets that were about 3/8" in diameter and about 1" long. I installed 2 of them near the end of my speaker cables near the speakers. 2 sets are needed for each speaker wire left and right).They are installed so that the magnetism is pulling through the cable.

It is quite interesting, but I would like some others to try this and share their opinions before I comment.

I also added a set at the Amp end.These magnets cost about $3.39 each and you will need at least 4 of them or 8 if you want to try them also at the Amp end.

I bought mine from http://www.amazingmagnets.com/show-fractional-r1000c.aspx

Make sure you select USPS for about $4.95 shipping otherwise you will end up paying for UPS at about $13 for shipping.

"I use magnets for a number of things - electronics chassis, power cord plug, transformer, pc boards, glass, wood. In fact, colored magnets have been de rigueur for many years. Heck, I even make products that incorporate colored magnets or ARE colored magnets. "

Why does this not surprise me?

Earth already has a magnetic field that wires are running through. Why not more!!!!

Or should I be tweaking to counter effects of earth magnetic field on my sound?

I'm Geoffkait has an answer?

Enter Edward Leedskalnin. If anyone had a handle on the secrets of magnetism, it was him.

Here's a good 'Leed' for you Geoff. You may just come up with something but it'll probably take a little effort on your part. I expect 10% off the top:)

I get a lot of my colored magnets from Leeds, already. Different guy. Lol. One of my favorites is their little yellow magnet, the one for the door jamb. Blue for anything steel, red for aluminum. Heh heh

Heh heh is right. Wouldn't it be more fun though, not to have to laugh? Everything has it's place, however.
