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

In my last upgrade post I forget to add to the list this spectacular changes when I put tiny quartz stick on the arms level of the tone controls of my Sansui AU 7700 and on the arms level of the loudness, muting, and mode controls...This simple tweak made a big impact indeed...With the addition of the last 2 big plates on the router (3 now) and on the breaker panels (6 now) it is the last necessary addition I think, the audio system begins to settle around his highest potentials on all counts...

I reintroduce some thinner golden plates on some S.G. with success...The problem, if there is one, is to always balance the plates with tourmaline or H.D. for the best S.Q. and use a not too big thin shungite plate for cell phone....


The proof for me is there, we dont know how much good any relatively good audio system we owns is already, and we spend big money to upgrading it by changing it, instead of the necessary simple modifications. I repeat that because nobody insist on this fundamental information and fact...It is not always a so called "better electronic component " that can transform the audio system, it is simply addressing the vibrations-resonance problems, the acoustical room treatment, the electrical embeddings of the room and the house, and some other simple and homemade tweaks...


Now I will wait for some of you to confirm some of  my simple experiments.....



My best to all...

I read one of the first positive experiment confirmation with my golden plate on another thread... I am glad that someone report something favorable about my free product and creation...But alas! none here for the time being... :)

For me for the last weeks, with all these experiments ongoing, the audible upgrade is in his last stage...If you had immersive imaging + natural timbre of instrument +dynamic, the only future upgradings will be minor ameliorations that could seems important for sure, any positive minor change is a treasure for an audiophile, but minor changes tough compared to where I come from...

My best to silent Geoffkait, and other ghosts, inhabiting this thread...

My new addition, well, one of my new additions, is Double-sided adhesive *highly conductive* metal-cloth tape. The tape is copper/nickel + high-conductivity acrylic. A Big roll, free shipping from China, from eBay. I lost confidence in the adhesive backing that comes with the shungite plates. Of course, the adhesive for the shungite needs to be highly conductive. In any case, the metal cloth tape seems to better than the rubbery adhesive - I.e., more conductive. I removed the original adhesive with isopropyl alcohol, then apply a one-inch section of tape. Voila!

My new configuration for 2 BLACK Schumann doohickies is one eCard on one side, one shungite plate with Flying Saucer on the other side, using the metal-cloth tape for attaching to the SR. All isolated with 1 Hz suspension. I’m also using stacked eCards, two per side, all of which are charged for 2 days on breaker box, on my Sony MDR-700v headphones. As usual, I have a bunch of simultaneous experiments going on so I’m not 100%, maybe only 92%.

I return you now to your regular channels.

Thanks very much for these informative experiments and recommendations ….I will try this tape... Thanks...My best to you...


I just order one roll of the tape... :)


A remark Geoffkait:  Perhaps you must try an Herkimer diamond with the plate or a tourmaline for balancing the effect...

I listen now Bach organ opus.... I own already the excellent Hurford interpretation...But the most extraordinary one for me, outpassing any I know of and probably even those I dont know yet :) , is the out of this world hypnotic rendition by the blind master Walcha...Incredibly moving and a portal to the astral world...The density of his playing is balanced by a perfect rhythmic-pulsating integration of all parts that sound like all melodies are fluid letters of a superior hologram.... If miracles exist this is one... Other organists plays well, sound in some case may be better (the Walcha sound is good tough) but Walcha plays Bach like Bach wanted to plays himself for himself, it is no more organ, it is pure music....I dont like organ music particularly and generally, I now know why; after that, all other playing compared to this one are finally only trials and errors... :)

The beauty exhaled most of the times is so powerfully radiant that heaven is on earth and the Bach music is this sensible proof played by Bach or Walcha...No more needs of the distribution of primes to remind me of the universal spirit encompassing all... That says something, if you are not deaf indeed, and even if you are, listen, and wait for the miracle, it will happen .... I apologize for my rant, but it is difficult to be mere" rational" in the ecstasy of reason....


Another remark: the marvellous choices of his organs does not explain or replace the perfection of his rendition and of his playing...The sound of these organs indeed only participate in the miracles for sure...In a word these instruments sounded like metal in fusion stasis, more liquid than crystallised like most other organs..



I interrogate myself about this Walcha’s Bach version which I had known for 30 years , and which I never listened to for the last 15 years...

Why did I listen to it no more is simple, I had an audio system only for the last 7 years...And the sound of the organ is too much difficult to render on a poor audio system... Now I can listen to it without end for hours, because my audio system is able in near listening field to communicate the spatial 3 dimensional distribution of the organ different stops...It is the first times in my life that I listen to this imaging with this music...I cannot underestimated in any way the magnificent playing of this giant....I have known that for years, but it is the first times I listen to it truly.... It is more than moving... My best to all...
