Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking...

I owned a low cost headphone for many years, the Fostex TH7B, first version( a new one close version exist Fostex TH7BK), semi-open headphone...I was never completely satisfied by any headphones I ever owned: Hifiman 400, Stax basic lamda, Stax 5 gold,Akg 340,Akg 701, beyerdynamic 990, and T150... Because in each of them with all their qualities I never listen to at the same times, a confortable headphone with natural timbre and voicing, with a good imaging and a realistic soundstage(not too close to my ears)...


For the last days I tweaked this Fostex, to damp his internal resonance I used sorbothane, I put some shungite stones at the exterior part of the cups and I use some Herkimer diamond in the interior pads( 3 at 120 degree) … Now this low cost headphones crush all my others if I sum all his qualities... For example his mids and voicing cannot beat the AKG 340 but among all my other headphones it is the best that is near that mids and it is more confortable, and with longer cable than the 340...His imaging is better and more realistic than the 340 etc etc...It is the same if I compare with the others...


His most important qualities is natural timbre and clear imaging,very precise pinned point accuracy and natural, so clear it crush for that ALL the others to dust...In the French audio circle the reviews were more than very positive few years ago...Diapason d’or and choc Classica...I am not the only one impressed buy the ratio quality/price... But remember that thesae reviewers dont tweak their headphone...The difference between before and after the tweaks are staggering...


Yes Miracles happens in Audio: cost is under 100 American dollars... Few years ago they cost me 50 bucks new... I never dreamed that I will go back to headphones...


I will enjoy your miracles stories of any kind ….My best to all...

I dont play with the ground, I put the "golden" plates on the location described in my posts...They are photos of some of the plates in the "virtual systems" section...


The copper tape is self adhesive and must be put on 1 side of the shungite plate...

The only explanation I can give to myself is some which is not scientific at all. The copper concentrate and orient the action of the shungite field in one direction... You place the shungite face toward the interconnect, the unused wall plug or any unused plug on the power conditioner for example, or on touch with the exterior of the breaker panel ( it is not necessary to put the plates inside it)... The copper face must be at the exterior opposite side evidently and in some way isolate … The active component is the shungite, the passive copper made the shungite effect more potent without negative side effect...It is my experience...

But remember that I create this tweak only a week ago, and that my system is already heavily tweaked, but always with homemade products and low cost easily available one (except the Schumann generators that I modified tough) …

The only 2 tweaks I bought ready made worked but does not impress me and cost me almost the total price of a great part of my cheap homemade tweaks that works with way more audible corrected, fixable and alterable effects because they are adaptable....If I had bought these 2 ready made tweaks new, I would have paid 600 dollars...I never again try to buy ready made, I prefer to replicate...Most of the times we can... 


Thank you for your kind compliment about the rules, my best to you...

A true audiophile has faith in his ears, not mostly their analytic capabilities, those declined with aging, but first and last in the evolution of his personal hearing learning process in the precise situation or "locus" of his own room...


He is not a bat, but his 2 ears are like aging bats focusing on details, his brain is learning to adapt and to perceive, in spite of some holes, the recreated whole that we call music...What I call tweaks are there not only to compensate and correct my own hearing deficiencies, but also the deficiencies of my room, house and gear in a continuous process called learning...


Thanks millercarbon
for the words:

«One of the greatest yet seldom mentioned benefits of tweaking is the way it forces you to listen and evaluate. Tweaks are misunderstood. Tweaks do not "make" your system sound better. YOU make your system sound better by using the right tweaks the right way. »


I think one of my biggest deficiencies is that I am bit too serious, and lack humor... Then I apologize to my reader, instead of erasing the post... :)

It is an another day after introducing 2 other golden plates …

All my Schumann generators are covered with one...With each one an incremental increase is experienced audibly because of the new details perceived with files I know by heart, my attention being conveyed to new dimensions of the musical piece.... I waited for some other plates that will complete the task...


My conclusion is the effect of a few grams shungite one side covered with copper is an amazing ratio S.Q/ price...And it is cumulative...It makes no doubt in my mind that stones or crystals owns amazing properties able to affect the E.M field grid of the room and the house and of the gear...

How in the world a cheap usb powered Schumann Generator(10 bucks) with only one plate of a few grams of shungite on top of his capacitors can modify the acoustic of a room and the way the musical sound is conveyed and the imaging is produced, perhaps like a prism magically evoking a rainbow ? How in the world is it possible otherwise because of these unknown capacity of the stones to modify any body near it like iron modify the information field of the body ? This no science, I am not a scientist, these are only dreams about some miracles we lives by...

Ok I am not medically confirmed nuts, but I am surely...

I already have a piece of cubic shungite on top of the main wall duplex plug where are connected my main audio+ quartz and tourmaline... I decide suddenly, because my music files are so sublime in my new golden plated audio system, I decided suddenly in an impulse, to apply the copper tape on 4 of the 6 faces of this cube that is against the duplex sitting on one of the power chord of the power conditioner, the other chord in the other duplex plug being a cheap electrical strip where I had put many stones and where all my computer and external drive are connected already...

The improvement were immediately audible, reinforcing all the aspects of the sound that were already improving with my other experiments... Viva "golden" plates!

note: I apply the copper on 4 of the 6 sides because one nude side is against the duplex and the other sit on the power chord...The copper sides are in the empty external direction...


 In the Russian research the scientist has identified a kind of sphere of action proportional to the mass of the shungite… The shungite act not only very near, but in a little sphere of almost one feet for this cube, then the effect of the cube touch the 2 duplex plugs and not only the one where the cube touch it...

I just put 2 ( 200 grams) shungite "golden" plates behind the back of each of my Mission speakers, behind the driver taped on top of the connectors...Increase in the bass clarity, and the imaging better....In fact increased improvement all across the board after 1 hour of listening...

Miracles at a cheap cost and free for all "poor" audiophile to use... Only report here... Thanks to those and my best to all...
