Hi, No, these are not around the wire, the signal goes through the wire to the magnet and through the magnet to the other side. I own a pair of the cheaper (?) High Fidelity rca adapters and they work.
The hardest thing about working with N52 magnets is that they are very strong and want to stick to anything metal or themselves!
The simplest method would be to take a cheap rca "patch" cord (aka IC) cut it in half, strip the wires (8, four hot, four neutral) and attach each wire to a machine screw using two nuts with the wire sandwiched between the two nuts. Then add a third nut on the end of the machine screw and use that nut to "stick" it to one end of the magnet. Do that with all 8 wires using 4 magnets, because the magnet is the bridge between the wires, and you are putting the wires back the way they were with the magnets in between.
BUT, it is important to do two other things, 1) house the magnet in wood or pvc or foam or whatever so that it is insulated around the cylinder (leaving the ends exposed for the wire/nut combo) 2) the magnets need to be oriented--one side of each magnet is positive, one side is negative. Orient all the magnets in the same direction so that all the negatives are on one side. When you listen to the device, if the sound is diffuse, reverse all four magnets and decide which sounds best.
Hope this helps!
