Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek

Yes, I'm old, but at least I can remember the things that matter.

Should I say ouch? Good on ya, mate!

My most recent placement of the Sonic Tonic bottles has been one on each speaker at the binding posts lodged in between the speaker posts. (I have bi-wired posts)
Wow! what an improvement!
This is the best tweak bang for the buck that I have experienced.

Tweek Geek and crystals (from their web site)
"My own experimentation began by placing large crystals of quartz, amethyst, tourmaline and other stones on top of cables, components etc. Most had next to no effect, some made me think there was a good improvement, only to determine later that it made the sound to bright and edgy. Not to mention looking like a crazy person to my family and friends.

I also learned that the process of evaluating the effect of crystals is a difficult process. This is why I also think that Crystal based products get a bad rap sometimes. Their effect takes time to develop, sometimes a few days to stabilize. Removing them from the room does not immediately remove their effect either. It appears the room itself needs time to "discharge" once the crystals are removed. Usually an hour or two. Up until I learned this I made too many snap judgements. Removing crystals and listening immediately afterward had me thinking that some made no difference. However, returning to the "un-crystallized" room hours later I would notice their absence. This was the cause of many re-evaluations."

>>>>>I’m heartened to hear that another tweak manufacturer has been experimenting with crystals. As he intimates, crystals are enigmatic and complicated. My Brilliant Pebbles, introduced at the London HiFi Show in 2003, were the first comprehensive crystal based products for audio applications. Power to the Pebble!

Note to self: why did Tweek Geek discuss crystals just before Sonic Tonic. Is Sonic Tonic crystal based? Is this really just a wannabe copy cat of my Micro Brilliant Pebbles for Interconnect connectors and speaker terminals? The first version of Brilliant Pebbles were, uh, crystals contained in small laboratory glass bottles. Coincidence? Hmmmmm..

Here is an application of Bybee QSE with Sonic Tonic.
I used wide, clear, hd  Duck tape to secure the QSE (lengthwise) so that it attaches to the back of my speakers and extends, at an angle, over the terminals.  This has been in place for a few months.  I like the addition of Sonic Tonic, placement per Ozzy...

I also like making a CD sandwich before playing a disc.  With the drawer of the cd player extending into the room, loaded with a cd on the tray, I hold a QSE in each hand: one touching the top of the cd and one touching the tray beneath the cd platter.  Fifteen seconds is all it takes!
