Synergistic Red Fuse ...

A non secret, 25 years ago a friend took me to Boston to meet a eccentric
fellow by the name of Clark Johnson it made a impression that has stayed with me ever since. He sold us a big bucket of this really thick paint, called Acoust-X, I have zero affiliation with the company. It is very very cheap in comparison to its performance, I think its around $40 a gallon. It is water based, does not contain lamb fuzz or recycled sponges.
It does however contain ceramic micro spheres, cant see them so I am sure some will call it voodoo, Tell you what inside speaker cabinets, and
speaker driver frames or baskets it will take your breath away. Anyone who owns a vibraplane look underneath and see what it is coated with.
I know Totem was using it 25 years ago. Bought new subs couple years back 1st order was take them apart.

The stuff is so good I have already discussed with the wife, painting the whole sound room with it, and then reapplying the brilliant color we have now. Giant project, but well worth the effort I am sure.

That may have been like the original Cascade product that went on gray and stayed that color. The new Cascade goes on purple and drys black. I feel the original and new perform slightly different..I too have painted all my subs and bookshelf speakers as well a my former SC4’s. Makes a huge difference. If you do a pair of speakers on their insides you need to keep track of how much is used in each one. You do this to maintain a balance. While this product is drawn into the wooden material it also disrupts certain wave types that travel on these surfaces when fully cured like concrete containing super fine aggregate. I found this product link for some that may wish to mix their own..ceramic spheres like Geoff some times speaks of and may well be used in the products you and I have both used in the past.  There are many more.

AVM love that stuff as well 2005 was my intro to it, knee jerk reaction was, I am not painting that on my electronics period, was coaxed into tying it on fuses first, was so taken back with its performance, dove right in. Not cheap $2000 a liter, but nothing compares. Anything since is chasing his ground breaking work. 90% of what he produces is already  sold
to medical equipment manufactures. That should quiet the naysayers.
I do personally know the owner became good friends over the years.

Ceramics is an excellent natural resonator, I.e., energy dissipator; I use ceramics in at least two products. I use glass microbeads in another product ((iso stand) but the application is quite different from ceramics inasmuch as the glass microbeads are loose like sand, only more uh, slippery than sand. I’m also a big fan of the DH Diamond hardness ceramic cones. I won’t even mention The Ceramique speakers by Kharma. And we’ve all seen the advisability of ceramic body fuses on these very threads.

Tom (Theaudiotweak), thank you for the comprehensive response to my previous post.

Best regards,
