Lov'n the MC-0.5's but - a magnetic question

So do the magnets increase the strength of the field? If so, still wondering about the length of effect/flow.

Generally speaking, magnetic fields are not good for the sound. We are used to hearing the effects of magnetic fields because all currents through wires produce them. But if you can reduce them or eliminate them the sound would be better, no? That's why wrapping transformers with mu metal improves the sound. In the case of HFC he uses "magnetic conduction," in fact he uses mu metal for the conductor.  

I wish HFC would jump in here. I asked a question about why we have historically demagnetized everything - including CD's and the electronic path (Ayre de-mag CD) and didn't receive a great answer. There is no doubt that the MC-0.5's sound great as do their interconnects. If their interconnects require ferrous metals then how does the MC-0.5 work with non-ferrous metal? Just need some clarification.

tgun5 I like them too, and great question, just a guess, but I do not think
they will give a in depth answer, and I will tell you why. Look at the screws holding one together, purposely stripped out they do not want anyone looking inside, bummed me out, that's one of my most favorite things to do, what makes it tick. $250 to find out nope. There is a good video on youtube where Rick shows the effect with a crt tube to demonstrate visually whats going on. Wouldn't recommend naysayers watch it though! LOL

I get the overall concept. Apparently, the cable reviewer made the assumption that the interconnects were ferrous metals rather than copper, gold, or silver and there is nothing on the website to state differently. As far as the interconnects, I would just like to know what the main wire component is. I'm curious as I would be with any other interconnect that I've purchased. I don't see how that would compromise their technology. As far as the copper romex, I get that the magnetism optimizes the flow as seen in the video. Is there an optimal distance from the components? Do ferrous metals work better? These are questions that most audiophiles would be curious about.

I just don't think or agree that magnetism is great in every area of the system. They seem to make a blanket statement that it is. I found that even though there was an improvement in detail when I plugged (4) MC-0.5's into a Shunyata V-Ray, other areas were disturbed. I lost sound-stage width and air around each instrument. That changed when I placed the MC-0.5's downstream of the Shunyata. Something in the Shunyata didn't respond well to the magnetism. 

So I don't dispute their products sound great and the technology is pretty spectacular. I just wish there was a little more transparency.
