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

UPDATE: 10 new brass cap cone 3/8 inch distributed in horizontal and a vertical grid of bells cones...

I replace all tourmaline stones center with Herkimer diamonds... They are more powerful for clarity....

The red tourmaline push "heavy meat around the bones", but the H.D. gives me more clarity in the higher spectrum... each stones can be used with success relatively to your room and particular audio system....


In general Herkimer diamond even the micro and nano one are very powerful stones.... The most powerful with the shungite and very complementary...

Update:

The sound was too bended towards the higher frequencies... I glued a red tourmaline chunk in the center and on top of it a H.D. on 2 of the bell cones in my grid and that was better.... Conclusion: experiment and listen....

In the last week I refined the "grid of cones bells" with the "crystal cannons" idea and also by adding Herkimer diamonds of different size to the red tourmaline stones at the center of the big brass cones 3/8 inch that are horizontally located in front of me at my right on the wall and near the ceiling, and also vertically near the right speakers on the wall …

These "grid of cones bells"
work like some beacons on the flowing waves resulting from the interaction of the direct sound from the speakers and the refracted sound coming from the walls, and give to the ears some fixed points to make easier his Fourier analysis of the sound …

The reader must understand that the best improvement come with experiments and listening….The big idea dont come in one fell swoop perfect and without defect....All my ideas are complementing one another and compensating one another.... The end result for example tonight is out of this world in clarity compared to the past days or months... I never listen to a better sound in near listening and in a regular listening position on all counts: bass, higher clear frequencies, details, dynamic, soundstage more wide, imaging more precise....


These improvements are not free and comme with my cumulating experience for example with the properties of the different materials I use...

This evening I also create a new idea , a very simple one....I will speak about it later.... Because it is powerful, easy to made, but almost all people here must think that I am crazy.... And this is crazier....

Silence in this thread is a testimony for the total ignorance of their own potential and lack of confidence of people in their own listening power....


I know, I was like that 7 years ago, dreaming to buy costly gear to create Hi-Fi experience, trusting all this marketing lines about audio...

Lack of money luckily makes me more creative and at the end not only successful but more happy...I dream sometimes again to buy the costly Berning ZOTL, but like someone who already owns the best car in America dream sometimes to buy a Ferrari....It is no more a frustration, only a curiosity.... :)

My last experiment is a success but I cannot understand why... :)

Sometimes the things I invent makes sense, sometimes not, but never mind if they work....

I linked with 2 thin copper band tape (2 feet long) all 5 big cones3/8 inch in my 2 main grids of cone bells , the one vertically and the one horizontally... Result: an imaging and a clarity way better....Spectacular and absolutely surprizing...I will take a photo in few days and put it in my"virtual system" page

This cost me nothing and gives me, in nearfield and regular position, an imaging better than what I ever experienced in the past days ...


Hi-Fi cost nothing.....Only listening and acoustical imagination and creativity.... Trust your ears not the ads....


And if your amplifier is good already, trust me, he's better than anything you ever thought of him.... Same  about your dac…. Embed it and dont buy anything before that....

UPDATE about the "Connected cones bells grids"


This is my latest homemade tweaks and I must say very amazing...
How do we define "naturalness" in S.Q. ?

Naturalness is elusive like many audio sensation, but anyway a real sensation...This sensation gives you the final taste, the taste of the real presence, this taste is a drug with no possible detoxification... This is the ultimate S.Q.....

This is an "elusive" quality, because you can think that you have it without having it really in the flesh...The sign and symptom of his actuality is some connection with the music that cannot be severed....The feeling that it cannot be better.... But is it the end? Geoffkait says that we are most of the times always in some base camp all along the road and not on the apex of the mountain....At first I was thinking that he was mocking me, but I now think that it was only clue...     :)


How in the world connecting with 2 bands of 2 feet copper tape, 2 grids of 5 cones bells, can gives me that quality more than any other controls tweaks?


I dont know, perhaps this modification come after a number of other cumulative changes and it reach a threshold...( for example the 7 "golden plates" I added around my computer, one week ago, were a big step but not enough to gives me on their own that "naturalness")


Trust your ears and listen, go with them, because no others will transform you for the better except those 2 friends and magical mentors ….
