First the Magnetite AC Power Cable Wrap improves performance on "most" AC and SMPS DC power cables. I would not say all, I use these wraps on 6 of my 7 power cables in my headphone system. On one cable I did not what I heard. The effect is immediate and there is a 24-48 hour settling in.
Your question is a very good one. What is heard after installing a wrap will depend on the cable, system and component the power cable is powering. Generally improvements heard are benefits of lowering the noise floor:
* Less digital or a more relaxed analog presentation.
* Possibly improved resolution of micro, macro or both.
* Possibly improved soundstage.
* Possibly improved separation or delineation of what is heard.
* Possibly improved attack speed or decay.
* Possibly improved PRaT.
I think you get the drift. Think the benefits received when noise floor is reduced. The Magnetite AC Power Cable wrap offers about 1/3 the performance of a well built and installed ground box and ground cable. The Magnetite AC Power Cable wrap itself does not remove noise. What the wrap is doing is disrupting the electrical field generated by the power flowing through the cable. Disrupting the electrical field lowers distortion, thus improving the performance of the power cable.
