Anyone remember what the claimed science was for these..

I still have a few pairs. They came in a longer and shorter size. I still use them. They work on my USB cables to reduce grain and treble glare on some. On my best USB cables, they are actually a bit too much, damps the treble and dynamics a bit too much. Good tool to have to combat glare of some cables and systems though. The sound varies depending on the location on the wire, but I just put them in the middle. Not a big difference, but a useful tool to have around. I also heard a larger effect on phono cables (probably because the signal is much lower), but its usually digital gear that I've used them on.

If you hung them vertically in the top three feet of your room you could use them to scatter high frequencies. moray james

Dollar store sells some 5 or 6 foot 3/8" (I think might be 1/4") dia. steel spirals intended for use in the garden for plants that like to run up on. Only $3.00 Canadian each about a 4 inch spiral would do the same thing and look interesting but you are not going to get much bandwidth still worth playing with for peanuts. moray james

They're coils so they may roll off high frequency noise. Possibly some helpful damping of physical vibration.
