Until tonight I was never aware how much EMF is entering at the back of a tonearm. I created a shungite blocking hood for the back half of my Kuzma 4-point 9 tonearm, and nearly fell out of my (rocking) chair when I played a record.

I'm terrified of amusement park rides, so I'll take the treatment. I don't know how to add an emoji, but there's supposed to be one here-> x

Tumbling crystals is cruel. After weeks of slow torture in the "iron drum", the crystal victim suffers an eternity of rolling helplessly around in a deformed, un-natural condition, being laughed at by real crystals. I would never do that to a crys...

The crystals I use died of old age before being crushed. Think of it as a glorious re-birth.

Cool! after virtually no response for a few days, suddenly 4 Audiogon members have asked for the free CrystalTop sample pack with free postal delivery. That makes 6 sample packs left, for any other interested members. Just request a pack here or b...

Kyanite (Al2Sio5, aluminium silicate) is stunning as well. But it has to be crushed by hand, and even when it’s crushed it is prickly. It would have to be hidden under something else or the sharp crystal points could be a problem when handled.

They are incredibly cheap. But crushing and sieving those beads by hand would be a nightmare.

I also buy crushed stone from China at much cheaper prices, and they are very good. But they don’t have chrysocolla.

Mahgister - I started first by crushing my own powders. It’s very much more difficult than I thought it would be. I’m sure you’ll be able to do it better than me, but if you plan to use a mallet be absolutely sure to wear protective goggles. Which...

No - it's natural chrysocolla sand from Right Rocks.

My latest experiments have me more convinced then ever - chrysocolla is the mother of all audio minerals.That I have tried :)

It would be quite useful if the outer layer of a cable absorbed EM frequencies, then a sub-layer reflected them, back into the outer absorbing layer.For the inner surface of the same cable coating, you would have an absorbing layer, but not a refl...

For emi coming into cables or any equipment from anywhere/everywhere, there would seem to be 2 ways of dealing with it. Absorb or reflect. If it is absorbed, surely it must be dealt with (preferably converted to heat) before it is allowed to inter...

Oops I forgot about your Brilliant Pebbles. Well, I did say you probably would hear the difference.

Getting back to audio...(and miracles)For some reason, I am finding that the crystals and minerals that result in some of the most dramatic sound improvements are ones containing copper.Chrysocolla - (Cu,Al)2H2Si2O5(OH)4·nH2O (copper phyllosilicat...
