Anyone Using Crystals?

Negative ions (as in air fresheners) attach to dust particles causing them to fall out of the air. The good news is the air is cleaner, the bad news is there are more dust particles on everything. Thunderstorms also do this, although indoor thunderstorms seem extreme and perhaps should be avoided ("Bob, why is the cat smoldering?").

That's very good, Wolfie. 🙄

Northernescape,

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say. What exactly are you claiming is "scientifically impossible?" Be careful, don’t use the old Appeal to Authority on me. It won’t work. I’ve been immunized. Besides, we already have people here whose mission is protecting naive audiophiles from unscrupulous shysters and ensuring the Laws of Science are not sullied.

Northernescape - Geoff just likes to be difficult and often snarky. But, in the long run, he’s a good guy. If you have thin skin or hold onto grudges, you’ll never get to the long run.

As far as double blind for audio.. that gets difficult because it takes a while to really hear what a system is doing. I’ve changed things and noticed a difference at first, but sometimes it takes a few weeks to truly understand what that difference is and if it’s an improvement. How you would design a double blind test that takes that into account, I don’t know.

I don’t believe I’m being difficult. I am after the truth, which can be both difficult and painful. I did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday when it comes to either science or audio. 

It's all good folks, nobody understands difficult like I do, and if you think audiophiles have disagreements, try scientists when a controversial paper is presented. I really really enjoy such discourse.
In addition, as I noted I am in no way an expert audiophile, and many many will be able to identify real, subtle changes I never could. That's why the real bottom line is if you like it, keep it, and maybe try and explain to others why. Bg
