I've never heard of using ferrite rings on speaker cables - you learn something new every day !

Do you mean beads to thread over the cores, or snap chokes to clasp around the whole cable?

The interference will affect the power amp more than the speakers, so at the amp end - on both.

Hi Martin or anyone who can answer this question what end of a power cable do you place a ferrite bead close to the equipment or close to the mains plug ?,Thanks in advance .Tim It depends on what the PSU is. If you have something with a linear PSU then it's best being close to the plug. If it has a SMPS then up close to the equipment.
