Tweak you gotta try. Post your results...

I get a lot of my colored magnets from Leeds, already. Different guy. Lol. One of my favorites is their little yellow magnet, the one for the door jamb. Blue for anything steel, red for aluminum. Heh heh

I use magnets for a number of things - electronics chassis, power cord plug, transformer, pc boards, glass, wood. In fact, colored magnets have been de rigueur for many years. Heck, I even make products that incorporate colored magnets or ARE colored magnets.

(For experimental purposes only) I get those nice little 3/4" ceramic disc magnets on the Internet. Cheapskates will love 'em as they're like 30 for 5 bucks or something. I've also been know to use neodymium magnets, 3/8" and 1/2" inch sizes.

Csontos, my magnet guy can kick your magnet guy's butt.

Mapman, ironically the power of the magnet has precious little to do with it. It's really the color of the magnet thst is the key. I routinely use those thin ceramic magnets and spray paint 'em, saving the much stronger neodymium jobs for, uh, special projects. The secret is knowing which colored magnets go where.

"What is the purpose for the magnets? Do they align the flow of electricity? Or is it really distortion, I wonder?"

That's a really good question and I have a feeling nobody really knows. I'm pretty sure folks just accidentally stumble on this sort of thing or read about it on the internet somewhere and experiment.

Magents don't channel RFI or EMI and they don't affect electron flow in the conductor...even if they did the music signal is not carried by electrons. If the magnets affected the electromagnetic wave that is the music signal wouldn't the magnet distort the wave? That seems more likely than "aligning the flow of electricity". The other problem with conventional theories how magnets might work is that magnets can often affect the sound when used on NON-AUDIO related objects - for example on refrigerators and refrigerator power cord plugs, TV screen, TV power cord plug, and many other non-audio Objects. So we have a kind of situation here in many cases where the audio signal is not being affected, directly or indirectly, yet the sound is improved. If you see what I mean.

Mapman, nice try but I don't sell magnets. I just want to help audiophiles out.

The result is always a profoundly negative experience for me. But at least he has a sense of humor to go along with the nonsense, so he gets some points with me for that."

Mapman, I can certainly understand that Nervous Nellies just aren't going to be able to scramble on board the Machina Dynamica train. No skin off my nose, I'm not trying to set the world on fire, just trying to start a flame in a few hearts. Meanwhile, I'm giving serious consideration to elevating you to Associate Troll.
