No problem, sharing observations is the quickest way to get wider feedback and perhaps a greater pool of knowledge, the whole point of y sharing tweaks, whihc financially give me little or no gain.
The degaussing of the ends is also interesting in the light of the current movement to low mass ends ( Eichmann and NexGen WBT). I am of the opin ion that the lower mass ends absorb less of the EMF fields generated by the cables.
Also a local electronics genius (my opinion, of course) has pointed out tht the circular nature of the negative RCA ends lends itself to a higher inductance in trapping the Emf field.
I have done some experimentation in simply cutting a small slot in the negative RCA terminal and it seems to increase the upper frequencies (only used some cheap ends as I didn't know what to expect). Unfortunately many RCA ends use the negative barrel as a retainer for the center pin, and that sort of put a dampener on the idea.
You are right in that degaussing the ends while connected would be more difficult as the degaussing field will be affected by the chassis and such. It would be difficult to focus the degaussing field.
