Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking...

I owned a low cost headphone for many years, the Fostex TH7B, first version( a new one close version exist Fostex TH7BK), semi-open headphone...I was never completely satisfied by any headphones I ever owned: Hifiman 400, Stax basic lamda, Stax 5 gold,Akg 340,Akg 701, beyerdynamic 990, and T150... Because in each of them with all their qualities I never listen to at the same times, a confortable headphone with natural timbre and voicing, with a good imaging and a realistic soundstage(not too close to my ears)...


For the last days I tweaked this Fostex, to damp his internal resonance I used sorbothane, I put some shungite stones at the exterior part of the cups and I use some Herkimer diamond in the interior pads( 3 at 120 degree) … Now this low cost headphones crush all my others if I sum all his qualities... For example his mids and voicing cannot beat the AKG 340 but among all my other headphones it is the best that is near that mids and it is more confortable, and with longer cable than the 340...His imaging is better and more realistic than the 340 etc etc...It is the same if I compare with the others...


His most important qualities is natural timbre and clear imaging,very precise pinned point accuracy and natural, so clear it crush for that ALL the others to dust...In the French audio circle the reviews were more than very positive few years ago...Diapason d’or and choc Classica...I am not the only one impressed buy the ratio quality/price... But remember that thesae reviewers dont tweak their headphone...The difference between before and after the tweaks are staggering...


Yes Miracles happens in Audio: cost is under 100 American dollars... Few years ago they cost me 50 bucks new... I never dreamed that I will go back to headphones...


I will enjoy your miracles stories of any kind ….My best to all...

He already know that I apologize...I dont ask for an answer from him, I just want to apologize because I was a bit rude, he knows that already now and that is what I want...He is a grown man and can decide to participate here or not by his own free will without insistance...Thanks for your kind concern Thecarpathian by the way, my best to you from my rude heart...

Today miracle for me is amazing... I connect one of the S.G. at my right in my room to some powered stone that is before my window glued on a plate and that’s added some symmetry to another connection I had made some time ago with a symmetric stone on a plate at my left in line with my listening near field position and also connected to some S.G.


The result is an impressive increase of the sound image in holographic 3 d dimension...

I dont know why I forget to make this cabled connection already....I called my grid the Stein Harmonizer for the poor...I read about this device and all people are unanimous and their description of the effect on the sound perception mimic my own... For sure my device is primitive and lack the sophistication of the real thing but the change and improving factor is also for me spectacular, then I called my grid an harmonizer for the poor … :)

For more clarity I use the Schuman Generators in a non conventional way, I use a passive (passive: non electrically linked to the audio system) multiple cabled connections from the S.G. to my powered battery stones grid around the listening room... Then I use the S.G. like a stone and crystals enhancer, the effect is so great that cheap 13 dollars usb powered S.G. have an impact unbeknown by most...

People usually use way more powerful costly S.G. with linear power supply,(costly) and feel some improvement... I feel the same amazing change with my cheap S.G. and perhaps more...


Then the S.G. is a guenine audiophile component but way more potent then usually admitted when used with crystals and stones linked by cable to a battery powered grid... For example i have cabled stones even in my speakers. :)
The S.G. is the center of my stones powered grid and his emitted frequency plays also all along the cable connecting the stone placed near it or on top of it to the grid(without touching the embedded antenna of the S.G.tough) ... I know nobody who has experimented with these kind of stones battery cabled powered grid...

(a remark: the grid except for batteries is passive, non linked to the audio system, the stones are near the gear, the connectors, around the room, that's all. the batteries with magnets are only there to "dynamise" and activate the crystals)

A note: I feel the effect not only in nearfield, but also on normal distance hearing from the speakers, and also surprisingly for me in the headphones...
