Phil... So, now I'm curious....do you use those ferrites other places, too? On your (non-optical) interconnects, power cords, etc.? Someone recently mentioned taking an AM radio, tuned to static, and putting it near various potential sources. I did this and certainly heard an increase in volume near my power connections (and even more when placed near a couple wall-warts). But, without any reference, I don't know what's considered an acceptable amount and, further, whether any of the noise is actually affecting the sound quality. Does, one just put those clamps all over the place or will they have some negative effect if used improperly or excessively? Are beads enough or are the clamps preferred? This is a completely new notion to me, so am interested in learning a bit---either from you or if you can point me to any numpty-compatible web literature. If this is a topic for another thread, I'd be happy to re-post.
