Re: Audiophoolery?
Bewilderingly they managed to patent this nonsense. Has to be the same outfit - patent and company are both in Texas.
Because you have to "reduce to practice" (IOW build it, and prove it works) they have tables that "prove" that including magnets inside the connector pin, and using a ferromagnetic core in the cable (bet they used an oscilloscope probe cable for the test) causes reduction in distortion and improvement in signal to noise.
How those tests were performed in detail is not disclosed.
Which just shows you can patent any old hokum.
I tried to upload the file, but it exceeds the file size (allowed 1.91MB, and the file is 2.03MB)
So you'll have to look up US 8,272,876 if you are interested.
