Chemically Altered Audio
And another thing - electrical static charge is almost a non-issue for home audio except for a few certain limited things. One is cabling, which can be elevated and or treated with anti-static spray or rubbed down with Bounce anti static sheets. T...

It actually doesn’t matter if the listening space is symmetrical or not because the radiation pattern of speakers is not uniform. And probably not symmetrical from one speaker to the other. Objects like bookshelves, furniture, etc. will also contr...

There are long lasting sprays and there have been audiophile anti static devices for eons. I even have two products myself. I’d opine it’s a non-starter but I don’t want to discourage you. Plus I’m not 100% I would use China as an example of anyth...

That may that may very well be, but wouldn’t it be a lot easier and cheaper to just eliminate electric static charge to begin with? Then you won’t have to deal with it. That’s why there are industrial grade anti static sprays and room humidifiers.

Quick question. How do you know the effects are anti-static related and not something else? I’m not 100% but I don’t think either mica or Graphene are anti-static. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to use a good anti static spray or reduce static electr...

Jazz for aficionados

What tease! 💃 If it looks like vaporware 💨 and walks like vaporware it’s probably vaporware. 🤗

I can certainly understand why your butt is so sore. Ouch! Have you tried sitting on ice packs? 🤗

That’s not my system, it’s some guy’s in Sweden about twenty years ago. But thanks for thinking of me anyway. 😬 I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.  
Higher End DACs
I’ve said this before but by the time the signal arrives at the DAC it’s too late. The damage to the audio signal is done as soon as the laser in the transport strikes the spiral data stream on the metal layer. And there’s almost nothing you can d... 
Static from tubes
Clean the bases of the tubes and the surface of the tube sockets with isopropyl alcohol. Problem solved! 🤗
