I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments?

Geoff I am with you for the magnets...But mine are only on the batteries not in contact with the gear, and they are only fridge magnets, and they make a very sensible difference on the small batteries I use... My stones cabled and crystals audio grid is not connected to the gear and exist near the amp ,near the dac and speakers, no magnets is directly in contact with a piece of equipment, it is not good and I am perfecty ok with your advice...My house electrical grid is also cleaned with stones...And I use aluminum sheets to isolate piece of gear from one another...

By the way it is you who speaks to me of the Stein Harmonizer that included in his design crystals and batteries if I remember correctly...I was pleased because that confirm  the effectiveness of my own design by an another road...I only added some magnets to the batteries because the effect was more effective... 

Creativeness buy more satisfaction than only money...I am with you Elisabeth, many audiophiles want to pay big bucks to assure themselves...I dont have money then I must be creative because I dream of good sound music...Cheaper than cheap is my motto...and buying used... My  actual system is so musical that I am no more frustrated by costly one I cannot afford to buy...

Colored magnets is where it’s at. Uncolored magnets are what we call a local maximum. It’s kind of a long story. The applications are very specific. Not Willy Nilly. Maybe later. But I’m glad to see some people experimenting.

I will wait for your long story if you tell it...My best to you...
