RF Chokes/Ferrite Beads, do they have a place in your system?


Hello and thanks for responding!

I have a large collection of chokes/beads and was curious if they have a place in your system and what benefit, if any, they may have. I have tried them only on power cords where "maybe" there was an audible improvement. Are there other areas of a system where they may be desirable to install?

Thanks!

I still use some on my large AC Power cables. I had them, at one time, on each end of most of my interconnect and digital cables.

I was reading an article about these "tweeks" and the author stated not to over do it. I went back and started removing some and found out that they were sucking the life out the music.

So through my experimentation, I found a few work really well, but don’t over populate them!

BTW, I have a ton of them in all sizes if anyone wants to buy them :-)
@sgordon...I find RF Chokes work quite well on AC Power Cords, just don’t over do it.

Sorry, I sold most of what I had. Not sure how large they were, but they worked on pretty big cords.

IIRC, I bought all of mine from Digikey.
