whostolethebatmobileWhat say we open the discussion up to similar materials, you know, carbon fiber, graphite, carbon black, graphene and any other carbon-based audiophile stuff? I couldn’t help notice you asked some very good questions regarding ...

We’ve already established shungite is not crystalline. I never said rocks couldn’t ever be crystalline. Rocks is a broad term. It doesn’t mean anything. I don’t wish to engage in semantics. 😬

whostolethebatmobileTurquoise doesn’t form single crystals - but it is cryptocrystalline. That doesn’t stop it from being useful for audio. Shungite is not a crystal at all, but that doesn’t stop it from being extremely useful and beneficial for a...

When I said shungite is a rock what I mean, in case anyone didn’t catch it the first time, is that it’s not crystalline. It’s not a crystal. It’s actually closer to petroleum. More to the point it doesn’t act like a crystal. It’s not a resonator.

Let’s compromise and call it a rock. Shungite is neither a crystal or a stone. The tipoff is that it’s mostly carbon. Crystals act as resonators. Rocks not so much.

As fate would have it shungite isn’t even a crystal. Now, we’re getting somewhere. 🤗Shungite is a black, lustrous, non-crystalline mineraloid consisting of more than 98 weight percent of carbon. It was first described from a deposit near Shunga vi...

Turquoise is all impurities, actually. Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formula CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. Cheers

Generally a live room will sound better than a dead room. Without any rugs, carpets, overstuffed chairs, sofas, heavy drapes the sound will be more open and have greater dynamic range.

Uh, it’s the impurities that give crystals their color. Even artificial crystals. Hel-loo!

I never met a crystal I didn’t like. But crystals don’t act like people think they do. That can be a problem. Consequently, people tend to get carried away before it’s too late. It’s a common audiophile phenomenon; they get all revved up. There is... 
Wondering about using IsoAcoustics under by GoldenEar Triton One speakers
The Townshend isolation video illustrates very clearly that isolation works even when the floor is a cement slab. This is because the quotidian Earth motion 🔝 is so powerful it moves the cement slab like it weighed nothing as well as the entire bu... 
Barometric pressure, temperature, moon phase?
