Remember those that you sent away to New Zealand for..... get a magnet and stick it on the disc. Let me know what you think (even a refrigerator magnet for experiment)

cut small disks same size as the freebee disks from fridgeraor magnets and placed on top. using them on a set of headphones. the freebee disks all by themselves had an impact but the magnets on tops did nothing.
Listen for a bit of increase in definition, and a bit softening of bass. (that's what I get)....just thinking the bit softening of bass may be making the upper tones more distinctive...its all a balancing act.
as a Refrigerater magnet to a Disk, and what would they attach to?
When your Transport dies, what will you do then?

Oldmkvi......it just sticks in place because its magnetic.....
So my BD's attract a magnet, I'll have to try.

Yes, was recommended on his website. I had about eight paw print refrigerator magnets from the Humane Society. Conveniently about the same diameter as the freebie black discs. Definitely worth a shot. Seems to sound better and certainly doesn't hurt anything. A cheap experiment that's worth trying.
I got a couple of bar magnets from Home Depot and put them in place. I heard a bit more definition....worth the $2.75 expenditure at Home Depot.
been doing it for a while now, but being a dealer couldn't very well blow the whistle. I believe Bob is recommending it too on his website and has sourced some circular neodymium stuff

Before I go and do something silly...
"Magnets on BlackDiscus
==================
I've been doing some experiments with magnets and BlackDiscus. Not sure if any products will come out of this yet, but it does open up a very easy way of experimenting and possibly enhancing your BlackDiscus (real ones or samples).
All you need to do is to put a magnet on top and listen. Doesn't really matter what type of magnet - you could use small neodymium magnets, or even fridge magnets.
Now I don't have the gear to be able to analyze in detail why this effect occurs. But my best guess is this the magnet biases the magnetic domains in the BlackDiscus. This means that the small field variations caused by nearby currents, etc, are swamped by the magnet's field. This means that the direction (N-S) of the field does not 'flip' to (S-N). The region around the zero cross or 'flip' is non-linear - this is the same sort of reason that bias is used in tape recording heads.
The effect you get is quite variable- sometimes it makes the BlackDiscus much better, improving just about everything and audibly lowering the noise floor. Sometimes it makes things sound terrible.. put magnets too near to varying currents (or transformers) and they start to wobble - then it's anyone's guess. But it's worth a little time experimenting - you may be able to get a big performance improvement for almost nothing!"
