Ferrite Cores for Power cords


I am new to DIY and just made two power cords based on the Oyaide Tunami cable and Furutech connectors I purchased from vhaudio. My understanding is that I can possibly enhance the performance of these power cords by fixing ferrite core cylinders/boxes onto these cords. I will highly appreciate your advice/comments on the following regarding ferrite cores :

- Where can I buy them and which are the good ones/brands ? Any online source for buying these will be great.
- Should I attach them to both ends of power cords or only one end is enough ?
- Is there anything else I should know when I use them to derive maximum performance from the power cords ?
- Is it normal to attach the ferrite cores on interconnects and speaker cables as well

Please share your experiences.

Thanks in advance.

Ferrite rings filter very high frequency RFI/EMI. Most electronics stores carry them or just google and pick the right size. Ultimate Cables uses ferrite rings on both their power and speaker cords, in both cases, on the upstream side. They seem to work very well.
