    How do you conclude that? I ask because nothing in the post you have quoted suggests anything of the sort.

    my phone has a gauss meter of sorts .....I was using the compass app to get the north south orientation ..flux lines flow from south to north through the annuls...the gauss meter went into the red if I approached too close to the magnets but didn't look at the actual values ..will check what they are when I get time

    Default A bloody cable.

    Well a Gauss meter does measure magnetic fields so it's not surprising it should react strongly to the presence of a strong neodymium magnet. I suspect Tony is suggesting that the meter may show that the magnetic field is propagated along the length of the cable - perhaps not though.

    this is the plain data measured by my phone app for my listen room..
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 [these numbers have shifted left ....can't be arsed to fiddle and get them to line up ]
    A 50 52 49 50 49 52 50 52 53 50 A
    B 51 50 51 50 50 50 50 51 50 50 B
    C 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 C
    D 38 38 38 38 38 38 38 38 38 38 D

    all readings taken at 1m above floor level and at approx 0.5m intervals

    A-A closest to partition wall along which hifi and tv are situated. D-D wall behind listening position. numbers 1-10 for grid location

    we can see A2 and A9 correspond to the speakers ..A4 hifi A 6 tv.

    magnetic field strength [MFS] of 186uT was measured at 5cm from and parallel to the magnet cylinder ...the ic connecting pre at A4 to power amp at A10 was measured at points along it length where I could get the phone within 5cm ..all four readings gave 57uT . A length of the cable laided out in C5 to C7 gave only the background reading of 40uT....

    so its clear the IC's central conductor has a higher MFS than background.....

    approaching closer to the magnet block the MFS exceeds 300uT [approx 3cm and parallel to it ]

    Late to the party (as usual) but I have to confess I'm very interested in these, as I've had an eye on HFC's cable designs for a while. Any thoughts on the sound? The science in the patent looks to be 'a trifle dodgy' (I think that's the phrase) which doesn't make it any the less interesting. I've been thinking about making up a set of something similar for a while -haven't got around to it yet though, so a few more thoughts on the performance would be good.

    I think the performance of the ones I made up is hindered by the inherent limitation of the cable used. However, the magnet equipped cable did sound better than the non magnet equipped one so that suggests something is at work.

    As you say, the science in the patent is distinctly 'dodgy' - interesting though.

    Fair enough -I can well believe it makes a difference. I might have to give something on these lines a go.

    Yes, give it a try, it's not expensive to experiment.
