RE: Why magnets improve the sound is an interesting question. nt

Owen, I also tried clamp-on ferrite beads early in tweaking(only 10-11 mos. ago) and found them very effective. I have since applied hematite beads to the midpoints and both ends of my IC's, PC's and speaker cables and been mildly ecstactic with the results. Trying to keep an open mind and in curious response to geofkait's post regarding the negative feedback on ferrite beads, I took mine off and was surprised to find that the sound did improve slightly, but also very discernably. So I believe that ferrite beads work well on some unimproved systems, but hematite beads or crystals work better. Kudos and thanks to geofkait. Following the post on putting crystals INSIDE power plugs and EIC's, I tried the same. If you haven't done this yet, run don't walk, to do so. The 15-20% claimed improvement is real IME.
