Anyone Using Crystals?

Seems like some folks on AA have discovered some interesting things over the years with crystals.

For those who are interested, you can experiment with various kinds of crystals to see if they improve sound quality. It seems there is also quite a lot of interest here in digression and mockery. Figures.

geoffkait,

Do you mean to say you don't believe the science produced by the thousands of professionals associated with Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth?

randy-11,

Mythological world. You got that right. Lol.

"Another reason not to allow some of us out of the house." I love it. Lol.

thastum,

Very interesting. Do you put these bags together DIY or do you buy them somewhere?

I see that geoffkait denies being difficult -- but he does not deny being snarky. Thank goodness he did not fall off a turnip truck. It must have been some other truck. Lol.

geoffkait,

When I'm ready. Lol.

geoffkait,

Sounds like you need to take a rest. After you have are up and around again we look forward to more of your amazing insights. Thank goodness the cat has not got your tongue. Lol.

About as long as you have been obsessed with me. I think it was love at first sight. Lol. How about a group hug.

I thought you liked group hugs. Have you lost your sense of humor? By the way, speaking of group hugs, how are pebble sales this week? Maybe we can help you move some stock.

That explains everything.

mahgister,

What kinds of crystals -- and size -- are you using? And where are you using them in your system?

mahgister,

Thank you very much for all the details. Your thoroughness and patience have been the keys to your success.

You stated, "... you must experiment one pieces at a time, because all rooms and all systems are different ..." This has also been my experience.

You stated, "... for example using some metal bowls on the walls at ear level with some crystals in their center ..." I will be experimenting with this method soon.

You also talked about "controlling vibrations and negative subsequent resonance". I use sand boxes under and above components for this purpose with good results.

You stated, " ... Crystals damping the mechanical vibrations ? i dont buy that ..." Neither do I. My experiments -- like yours that have been ongoing over a period of years -- do not support this conclusion.

As you rightly point out, patience and trial and error are the keys to success here. You have clearly shown that even modest systems can be transformed if you have the necessary patience to persist with the lengthy trial and error process.

You stated, "The final results kills my urge to change and buy, so-call upgraditis ..." This has also been my experience. Using devices to dampen mechanical vibrations and using various resonators and crystals to create resonance have enabled my system to produce a quality of sound I had no idea was possible to attain when I began this project.

mahgister,

I agree with you that the use of crystals is complex. And I agree with you that we should not "... dare to pass judgment like "mumbo Jumbo" about someone else experience without trying before mouthing ...".
