OK... I'm blown away by the simplicity of this

We begin with a RAM modded OPPO player feeding my AV rig... it's a really nice, high bang for the buck, amazingly mulitfunctional player in the lightest, dinkiest case... when you see this thing you think you gotta be f*$king kidding me... don't ask me how they squoze that much performance into what (deceptively) looks like a double discount tin box... so my OPPO has been running in for a while, cycling through my favorite DVDs, killer performance, I'm seeing and hearing all manner of information that would have whizzed right past on an inferior (and probably vastly more expensive) rig... and I get a jones for a cheese snack and park the OPPO, walk over to the fridge, and one of the refrigerator magnets falls apart, dropping out a tiny neodymium magnet thats only a few millimeters across, I'd estimate about 4-5 millimeter... hmmmmm... eat some wine flavored cheese on a wasa cracker, walk back to the toob, carrying the little magnet with me... just for grins I place said magnet on top of the case right above the tiny transformer in the switch mode power supply.... hit *play* and go back to watching Brotherhood, excellent show BTW... annnnndddd.... whoaaaaa, at first it sounded brighter, then it sounded like I was hearing about 5 times deeper into the soundtrack, the music, environmental sounds, etc seemed to expand clearly free of the Sony cabinet, so much so that frequently I could not discern what was "really real" in my room, and what was recorded... it was like a massive increase in resolution... at the cost of more brightness though, based on our discussions here before, this leads me to beleive that the steel case must normally be acting as some form of inductive "information smearer", and magnetizing the steel reduced the capactity of the case to store and release further energy, sort of like the equivalent of putting a strong DC bias on the Audioquest cables, this also leads me to think that a carful tuned combination of resonant materials and magnetic materials could be made into small magnetic "gloms" that can be attaced to steel cased electronics for greatly improved performance...
