I saw several old posts discouraging the use of ferrite for power cords, since it chokes dynamics and causes some roll-off on the highs.I'm using a shielded mains cable (three wires wrapped by copper shield): are ferrite rings harmful also in this case? My electronics is Quad.
Thanks

- Yes. Most of them affect the audio and they are ineffective for RF. - Al Sekela 16:42:22 04/20/07 (0)
