Shun Mook says the wood is taken from a swamp in Africa (swamp in Africa? Lol.)
Or perhaps the swamp in Dagoba where yoda lives?

@dlcockrum in regards to your link to http://shunmook.com/userinfo/Tips%20for%20the%20Crazed%20Shun%20Mook%20Users.pdf Item number 6 really hit me. I have a dozen (or so) guitars in my listening room. Over the years I have struggled with the idea of removing them, but really don't have anywhere else to put them, and perhaps more importantly, I really enjoy having them in the room. I have never had them out of the room to evaluate the sonic differences. It has always nagged at me that they may be creating reflections that would possibly be detrimental. This statement from Shun Mook seems to re-enforce the idea that it would be a positive advantage to have them in the room. Now, all of these are solid body electrics. I do have an acoustic, but keep it in another room, as I feel that it being a hollow body, it would be resonating with the music being played on my stereo. I'm not trying to take this anywhere, just making a comment on the link, and how it relates to my environment. Thanks for the link Dave Cheers!! |
I heard about an audio tweak that is supposed to enhance the sound of any audio system. It involves a particular green weed that only grows in certain locales. Supposedly it has to be harvested at just the correct time to obtain the full audible effectiveness. Once harvested it is dried and any seeds are removed (they don't like heat) and placed in a bowl with a hole in it. It is then burned like incense and the emerging smoke is supposed to noticeably enhance the listening experience now isn't that the craziest thing you ever heard...........oh, wait! |
@asvjerry I think you have your sci-fi references mixed up. "Spindizzy" is the anti-gravity technology from James Blish's "Cities in Flight" series https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindizzy |
Hi eddy, I don't doubt that having quality acoustic instruments in your listening room is effecting the sound. Resonances create sound. Ever noticed sympathetic woofer movement of unused speakers in your listening room? Snares rattling and drum head vibrations from drums exposes to certain frequencies of sound? Deliberate use of the sympathetic resonances of quality acoustic instruments (not unused speakers lol) to the benefit (or detriment) of room acoustics is as solid in theory as using the many audiophile devices sold to do the same thing. I think that controlled experimentation in type, quantity, and placement of the instruments is the key. Best to you eddy, Dave |
