| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Thread hijacker extraordinaire. I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it certainly appears we don’t need glupson any more. | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... This is starting to get a little silly but there is the piezoelectric effect AND there’s the reverse piezoelectric effect. They are two separate characteristic of many but not all crystals. I am not (rpt not) arguing about the effect of crystals o... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Flattery will get you everywhere with me. When confronted with opposing theories pick the theory that gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling. - Old audiophile axiom | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Which end? | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... You choose to believe the rf answer. I italicized the term Reverse Piezoelectric Effect in that comment/explanation because I wanted you to see that applying an electrical signal to crystals (the opposite of piezoelectric effect) activates the cry... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! Wood you believe I’m using something quite similar for the base of my new tiny little bowl acoustic resonators. I use crystal for the catalyst. I have a fondness for Gabon ebony, rosewood, walnut and maple. There is a fine line between resonance c... | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? The struggle for analog sound from CDs is at an end. But you must have the means to correct some serious issues now available. These serious flaws that have always been there include butvare not limited to, scattered background light getting into ... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Crystals 301Piezoelectricity is the electric charge that accumulates in certain solid materials (such as crystals, certain ceramics, and biological matter such as bone, DNA and various proteins)[1]in response to applied mechanical stress. The word... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Your comments comport very well with some of my customers’ comments from 15 years ago. To whit,------------"I placed one "Mikro" size bottle on a Quantum Symphony Pro tonight and was astounded that such a small bottle could improve upon the sound ... | |
| Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button? I strongly suspect the “trick” with silver cables is a combination or all of the following,wire directionalitycryogenic treatment longish burn-indielectric materialsilver content in connectors | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... The sound pressure peaks are room and system dependent (radiation pattern of speakers, distance from walls, etc.) and the amplitude of the peaks is dependent on the loudness of the system. but generally speaking the peaks can often exceed the aver... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... What is really helpful is a test tone track on a test CD and SPL meter to locate all the sound pressure peaks in the 3D space of the room. You would be shocked how many there are. Those peaks are where crystal should go. I found all audio applicat... | |

| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... So, it was touching, right? I never said it had to be wrapped tightly. 😬 We know vibration is an issue with cables. That why we elevate or suspend cables and power cords. |
