RE: Test of Once-Removed Theory


If you are going to make your own DIY "magic brick" and if you are going to test the two explanations put forward for why the "magic brick" improved the sound, and if one of the explanations was that the chunk of iron inside the "magic brick" absorbed the magnetic field created by the transformer in the equipment, then you have to also use a chunk of iron!!

You say that you don't want the metal to scratch your transformers. Why do you want to put the metal directly onto the transformers ? In the majority of cases, the "magic brick" was placed on top of the equipment's outer CASE !!
You are quite correct in wondering if an additional layer of felt would affect the sound. The answer is yes, as will a second layer of felt as will a third layer of felt !!!

To begin to understand so much, you have to move away from "something affecting the audio signal" or "something affecting the acoustic air pressure waves in the room".

Quite simply, instead of searching for a wooden case in which to place the chunk of iron, use a plain (unprinted) cardboard box !!!
