Does anybody have a picture of a ferrite bead? I'm not sure what it looks like and how would it be better than wrapping copper foil tape around the pick-up wires?

Mike, do a search.  I know there's a thread around here somewhere that includes at least one photo.  It's several months old I think but should come up on the search engine.  Although, I'll bet Dave has a link for you before I quit typing this.

I've been looking but haven't found it yet.

Like a piece of rigatoni made of metal about  1/2 inch long.  
 
Bill, tgo

I couldn't find it either, so I made another:
 

You can buy those magnets at an electronic store. I put them on my cables. Ask for an RF choke.

If you need a ferrite bead for your older Alembic, just email me your address with the serial number and we'll get one right out to you.

Hi Steve; welcome to the group.

I've added a link to the picture in the FAQ.

Mica where do these beads go inside the older alembics? & do you think i need one?......im not only hearing RF noise but I'm seeing things too!
