General Discussion / Another magnetic question from a novice
« on: March 24, 2008, 12:27:32 PM »
I'm considering a head first dive into the inviting waters of the high end reel to reel pool, but have a question to make sure I don't get into the deep end without being able to swim.
I'm concerned about the effect of the strong magnets in my Lowther DX3's [Azura horns-so no cabinets] on the reels when they are being played. When I first got the lowthers, I put them with my SEX amp in relatively close proximity with my television [probably about 30 inches away.] About the same time my old tv developed this patch of purple/blue discolouration - I almost bought a new tv [yea] but then moved the Lowthers to my main system and the patch went away, and so did my dreams of a new 50" 1080i hd tv. The Lowthers had apparently messed with the TV.
I wonder about the effects of the strong magnets in my Lowthers, which would be about 2 1/2 feet away from the rtr, on the tapes. Am I right to be concerned - is there anything that can shield the magnetic force?
I know I'll have a bunch of questions when I finally get a player but just wanted to check this out first.
thanks
Bryon
