Impact of Ferrite Chokes on power and signal

I wanted to get the collective wisdom about use of ferrite cores on
power cords.....and also in the signal path. I just ordered
a bunch from:

I also ordered a couple of these to try on the output of each
of my monoblocks:

I figure i'll do a lot of a/b comparisons with and without
ferrite in various spots...but i'd be very interested opinions of other tweak geeks!!!

They work well if you know what your doing with them. Cardas uses them in there top of the line power cords and interconnects, but they been doing it for years and know how and where to use them.

I tried the clip on ferrite once, and the sound just went dead and dark. so there you go.
