You guys are all correct about God and Satan, but as for magnets, my understanding is they form a field around the wire sapping off RF and EMI.
Depending on how much problem was there to begin with, it's possible for the magnets to help, although my experiments way back in the 1980's with Audioquest clip on magnets, provided either no results or negative results in the way of "compression" of bandwidth.
I suspect there are so many factors at work here, one would have to do the experiment for themselves. Good news is the magnets are cheap and you can give them to your kids to play with if they don't help the music.
Oh yea, my thanks to Slappy as well for his clarification of the word "schlabang." Lets hope this becomes part of the audiophile dictionary of descriptive words. Perhaps it will show up in Absolute Sound, a few issues from now.
