Another Next Best Tweak


I purchased some powerful Neodymium Rare Earth Rod Magnets about 3/8" diameter and 1" long that are axially magnetized, Poles On Flat Face. They sell for about $4 each).
I placed two of these per speaker cable at the end near the speaker spades. With the opposite pols pulling towards each other through the wire.
They grab like hell and will stay in that position.

There is an improvement in sound quality.
I wonder if this is what Virtual Dynamics was doing?

Ozzy,
I just put 8 neodymium magnets as a single rod about 3" under my power conditioner. They are super strong. Each one is 1" x 1" x 1/2" square. The effect is stunning. I will be doing a lot more experimenting in the coming weeks using these strong magnets.
Sabai, Are your magnets polarized on the ends?
If so, with the magnets under the Powercell do the magnets attract to the Powercell or just sit under it?
Please explain with more details.
Thanks.
Ozzy,
I have the PowerCell in series with a Bybee Stealth. Everything is plugged into the Bybee -- except the MPCs. I bottom load all my components. They sit on 3" high Tupperware-styled containers filled with dry beach sand. The block of neodymium magnets (bought off Amazon -- I am sure they are polarized) is directly under the right side of the Bybee about 3" below the chassis so it will not cling to the chassis. If you bring a block of these magnets close to any component they will immediately stick to the chassis and you will not be able to get them off.
Can you explain whats going on with the magnets? Where to buy them, where to place them? can you also tell me more about the windchimes? where to place them? wood / metal windchimes? and whats going on there, with the windchimes. any other room treatment advise would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!
B_limo, Sorry I can’t explain about the Magnets, except that Virtual Dynamics spent many years and sold probably thousands of cables using magnets at the ends. Just do a search for neodymium magnets and you will find many sources to buy from.
The wind chimes has me stumped, never heard about them. Perhaps there use is comparable to the Synergistic Research stuff.
