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

Think.

Cable + Sleeve and a small lump of ferrite, or similar, and you have a rudimentary tuned circuit, that will block some RF propagation quite effectively (LCR)
RF injection into any audio equipment where it is expecting analog line level will alter the sound for the worse, and the use of ferrite can help avoid this. Place the ferrite as close to the shield as possible to maximise the benefit.

Remember the ferrite will exhibit directionality, and a double insulated case isnt a very effctive shield

Try it, clamp on ferrites cost little and the gain can be substantial.

Have fun
