Tweak you gotta try. Post your results...

Well I read some reviews about the new High Fidelity cables that were designed by the former owner of Virtual Dynamics. They seem to be using magnets as their claim to fame in their design.

I happened to have some rod type axially magnets that were about 3/8" in diameter and about 1" long. I installed 2 of them near the end of my speaker cables near the speakers. 2 sets are needed for each speaker wire left and right).They are installed so that the magnetism is pulling through the cable.

It is quite interesting, but I would like some others to try this and share their opinions before I comment.

I also added a set at the Amp end.These magnets cost about $3.39 each and you will need at least 4 of them or 8 if you want to try them also at the Amp end.

I bought mine from http://www.amazingmagnets.com/show-fractional-r1000c.aspx

Make sure you select USPS for about $4.95 shipping otherwise you will end up paying for UPS at about $13 for shipping.

Received an odd email from Rick Shultz threatening legal action for my posting.
Come on, my posting was merely for us DIY tinkerers. There must be more to your design than a few dollars worth of magnets?

I anm with OZZY on this!
Come on man- This is just a group of guys shooting the sh** about magnets. I don't think anyone is intentionally dispariging any , or infringing on any commercial product design. People talk about specific gear all the time in these forums. Taking legal action or even threatening it has a very unpleasant chilling effect. So please try to understand it for what it really is.

When Mr. Shultz divulges exactly and specifically how his product works to improve the gear, he still won't have a leg to stand on against someone who has nothing but questions regarding his product. Looks like he doesn't want to be found out. Just what is proprietary about it?

Mr. Shultz has presented to the world a public disclosure it's called a patent. Tom

Plenty of patents out there for meaningless products. I'll give him one for the spring loaded rca pin. I wonder how a pair of WBT's would compare, though. And also how his 'invention' would fare without the the spring loaded rca pin.
