Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking...
You are welcome Mahgister. For anyone who is wondering, I am offering the 10 free sets to Audiogon members, at no charge and with free postal delivery. I’m doing this for fun as a hobby, I’m not a dealer and they are not for sale anywhere. But I t...

Mahgister, your samples are on their way. I hope you like them, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they disturb the careful balance you have already achived with your own experiments. One thing I am sure, you will notice the effect, welcome or othe...

Turquoise 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 audio.

Shungite can be a rock but it can’t be a stone? Hmmmm...

Yes Geoff, but crushed natural crystal such as turquoise or malachite can contain significant amounts of impurities such as pyrite, or just plain rock.

One substance I use is shungite, which you have already mentioned. But I use it in powder form, not stones.My favourite artificial crystals are ruby and moissanite.

In general I find crystals need to be activated and augmented by other substances. And vice-versa. Artificial crystals can be superior to natural crystals because in a given quantity, there are no impurities. And they can be much, much cheaper.

I use them crushed, painted onto paper with various other ingredients, and wrapped around RCA or XLR connectors or cut into small pieces (15mm square) placed in strategic positions. I can send you (or anyone else) some examples to try, my pleasure...

I will share my discovery that lab created crystals seem to be in general more powerful for audio than natural ones. This includes azurite, malachite, turquoise, mica and ruby. 
Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’
Frank - I've had them for weeks now. When I ordered my Gigapack Tim included a 10-pack at no charge. After hearing what 10 of them could do for my system, I ordered 20 more. Now the whole house is decked out with Stop It duplex plugs. Wow! I'll wr... 
The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity!
I kind of agree especially with the snob aspect, but...the trouble with "hi-fidelity" is there is no comparison implied. Literally anything can be called hi-fidelity, and has been over the years. Hi-fidelity compared to...a piece of chewing gum? O... 
What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio?
When I bought a pair of Koss ESP-9 electrostatic headphones 45 years ago (about 1974) when I was a teenager. I was driving them with my Crown DC-300! I felt like I was hearing the future of audio. Unfortunately for all of us living in the future, ... 
Anyone using Sendust (Fe,Si,Al) to absorb stray EMI?
Thanks sonicshading - Oyaide seems much more reasonable for a trial sheet.  
Anyone using Sendust (Fe,Si,Al) to absorb stray EMI?
No, but I tried to order one A4 sheet from Mouser. It was going to cost $145 delivered to Australia, so I cancelled the order.At that price, I hope it’s good! It does sound interesting... 
Making a product to sell and the need for modernity
Some modern innovations are truly extraordinary, and some are near worthless. It’s difficult to separate the two, you have to be lucky and also have the ability to tell when someone is being genuine, or not. Sometimes you just have to try things f...
