This EMI stuff can also have a detrimental impact on audio frequencies by mixing with them and producing harmonic distortion and IMD. So this inductor, if functioning as a (for lack of a better word) EMI suppressor, could improve the audio purity. So it all depends what it is actually doing in reality."
The reef knot actually doesn't get connected to the electric circuit at any point but is attached to the outer jacket of a cable or cord -- even a NON audio cord like a lamp cord. The reef knot will be equally effective in improving the sound if attached to a cable or cord just sitting on the floor not attached to anything. What is actually going on in reality, indeed.
