frankhenrylee Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hey folks, just a quick question. Does anyone know if the RF-82II's are magnetically shielded? I assume not since they do t mention it. I have my XboxOne in a cabinet about a foot or so away from bottom woofer. How close is too close?

Paducah Home Theater Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I actually erased the memory in a playstation with a vacuum cleaner one time. Boy was I ticked. This was back before hard drives, they had a memory stick or something. All my original Gran Turismo data just gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efzauner Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 mag shielding was necessary when placing speakers close to an old tube type TV because the electron beam is directed by magnetic field coils. You dont have to worry about that any more with LCD or even Plasma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you didn't want to retrieve the sucked up memory stick from the vacuum cleaner bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I mean like the magnetism and static electricity actually erased the memory while it was still inside the playstation, I just got too close to it. Nothing physically moved. I've been paranoid about this stuff ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it was not just a coincidence? was it solid state memory or hard disk? very very high electric and magnetic fields could erase memory but not a vacuum cleaner. If you vacuum around your electronics every week over a few years.... and by chance it breaks down randomly.. there could be correlation but not causality. I cannot imagine a mechanism for a vacuum to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Theres a reason why specialized and expensive vacuums exist for computer cases, and its not because the normal ones work flawlessly around such things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
