Magnet tar pit trap

[El Barto]

I was wondering...do any of the magnets ever screw eachother up around the studio? Mics, headphones, and the 4 track itself all have magnetic elements. If they come in contact with eachother, does that ruin the equipment or anything? And on another note, when I get a "hot mic" (lots'o'feedback and squeeling), does THAT damage the 4-track or the headphones?

Not sure but I'd bet that loud feedback/squeeling isn't very good for any kind of speakers.
