Their literature is filled with misconceptions."Since all systems run from AC power and all systems convert AC to DC using magnetic based components, perhaps this was one of the culprits contributing to the phenomena."
Magnetic components do not convert AC to DC, semiconductors (or tubes) do that.
"Perhaps system's power supplies were getting magnetized or, in some way, polarized over a period of time."
Power transformer cores do not remain magnetized. In fact they are constantly magnetized, demagnetized and magnetized in the opposite polarity 60 times each second (60Hz power)
"In any AC system, slight amounts of DC present on the line, as well as constant exposure to magnetic fields can slightly polarize or magnetize iron and steel based components in the power supply."
Someone should ask PS Audio why their Power Plants do not block this DC from reaching your components.
