Hey, we're missing the obvious here. What we really need to do, is to get these bulbs cryo-treated, screw them into cryo-treated hospital grade sockets, use $3000 power cords, and plug them into cryo-treated hospital grade outlets, if we really want them to work right. You know what unwanted power grunge can do to the spectral integrity of your lamp treatments, don't you? And don't forget that these bulbs need to be "burned-in" for at least 200 hours before the treatment will sound right. I find that leaving them on for 24 hours a day really helps to eliminate the required 30 minute warm-up time before use. This way, when I want to play music, I can just "treat, and play" instead of having to wait for my bulb to warm up. However, these are Class B switching bulbs, with hysteresis effect from the ballast transformers, so I am looking into some BTL(ballast transformerless) models if I can find any. Much greater transparency and wider frequency range. And transient response from Off to On is remarkably improved. No phase shift delays. I think that the mods mentioned above are also very good, especially the "green marker" additions. It is well known that the widest area of the bulb has a diffraction effect and inhibits the point-source radiation of the bulb. This can be greatly alleviated by using the green marker around the circumference, which absorbs only odd order harmonic light frequencies, and dramatically lowers total harmonic distortion, especially odd-order multiples, ensuring a very soft, euphonic presentation for the treatment. Failure to use this green marker treatment will result in these odd-order harmonic light frequencies penetrating the CD substrate, inducing a semi-permanent distortion component into the disc.
Overall, I am a big proponent of the use of such cutting-edge technologies, and applaud pioneering moves such as this.
