Magnetic flux vibration damper?


Can you guys give me some input on using magnetic flux to dampen mechanical vibration associated with audio cables,ie: power, interconnect, speaker etc.? Could it not effectively counteract the influence sound waves have on the flow of electrons by concentrating them?

to dampen mechanical vibration the cheap way..place a 20lb vinyl clad barbell plate on top of your gear.You can burn the candle at both ends after you finish listening start your exercise program.
I would call your quest as the equivalent of trying to harness your own nuclear power station you hand built to run a flashlight bulb. It is wayyyyyy too hard to implement.
If you had advanced degrees in electrical engineering.. you could, perhaps play with this idea. But then you would not be here asking.
IMO the problem is you are going to interfere with the very thing you are trying to protect: the signal flow.
I do not think it would be impossible, just very impractical, and extremely difficult even for a electronics genius.
There really are only two kinds of people in the world, right Schipo? Me, I always take good advice.
I don't see the difficulty, Elizabeth. Remember I'm referring to cables. I was thinking along the lines of magnetically sheathing the cable with something like fridge magnet material which would remain flexible, however maybe not powerful enough to make a difference. In any case, the primary question is whether magnetic flux would be beneficial.
Where did you determine that the sound waves from your speakers would have a measurable effect on the signals in your wires? And couldn't you just solve at least some such wire-related problems with a wireless setup?

Is there any real science to this - are there any studies that show measurable and repeatable effects on audio cable electrical signal from sound waves? Or at least anything that humans could possibly hear? I think that the only time & place I'd ever seen or heard anything like that claimed was from a boutique audio shop where their "good" speaker cable went at ~$1,000 a foot - and the guy never even smirked when he said the price...

I guess I'm kinda stumped by this - and by your solution. Do you have magnetic wire materials in your ICs or speaker cables? I don't know how strong a magnetic field you'd need to immobilize something like teflon-coated copper but I'd have to believe that magnetic induction would likely be a more problematic issue if the cables were somehow vibrating in the magnetic flux fields you introduced.
