I first became aware of how ferrite cores work and what they do after moving into my current home, where the LCDTV was hung on the common wall with the garage - which also was the same wall where the 100 AMP service panel was located.
I've since moved to a projection based setup which means even though all my video cables still have ferrite cores on them, they now enjoy updates of 10' of distance from the panel.
The speaker wires, however, do not. As stupid as it may sound, I was wondering if a high-frequency trap such as a ferrite core would distort the quality of the signal? The cable's already run and I didn't think of shielded cable until two seconds ago. I'm just barely getting started in the realm of audiophelia
so I just don't know...
LOL, anecdotally, there were several times while holding one of those hdmi cables by the male fitting I would touch some other piece of metal and could feel the current as I grounded out via the tender flesh under my arm.
