The noise floor of any components and the sum total of the noise are the most underestimated factor in audio to gain sound quality... The problem is some solutions introduce, limitations of their own, a trade-off, a reframing of the sound, a compression of the sound, an active filtering that ressemble an artificial "framing" of the sound... My solution is passive filtering.... With stones and crystals, I obtain a complete transformation of the system...It is not perfect,nothing is,but there is no relation between before and after that...By the way even my power conditioner benefit from the stones...Cables also...etc
Lowering the noise floor
I am coming to the conclusion that success in home audio reproduction is largely about lowering the noise floor. There are so many different types of “noise”, from so many different sources, that we only really “hear” by their absence.
Those components, cables, accessories and tweaks that SUCCEED at lowering the noise floor, can, and do, dramatically increase sound quality. Sometimes the type of “noise” dealt with is controversial, or not (yet) widely recognized as being a problem. Sometimes the explanation of how a product works is dubious. Sometimes the way it is marketed reeks of “snake oil”. Sometimes the reviews singing its praises go over the top. While these things will certainly put off some prospective purchasers, they do not negate the audible results that are there for anyone open to hearing them.
