Re: Are ferrite rings bad for power cords?

That strikes me as a very odd complaint. The purpose of the power cord is to deliver as much 50 or 60 HZ AC current to the device as it needs while suppressing and/or not picking up RFI or other interference.

I cannot see how ferrite could "slow" the delivery of 60 HZ power. Secondly, your power cord shouldn't contain any high frequencies no matter what is in the music.
