Chemically Altered Audio

Is there any interest in a discussion about home-made formulae that can significantly enhance audio quality? After reading some recent threads here, it appears that one company which had been involved in this aspect of audio is no longer in business, and has no immediate plans to reopen. I would not be making this offer if that company was still operating. My recent experiments in this area are extensive, and most of it is unique. The experiments are not influenced by the products of any other company. I would like to share the results, if it's not too controversial, and if such a discussion would not cause difficulties for anyone actively involved in the business. I certainly don't want to hurt anyone by revealing and discussing what I know. On the contrary, I would like to help open minded readers get started on some very cost effective, radical home-made solutions. I can describe in detail the steps necessary to create some home-made formulae which have proved to be very successful in my own system. I'll await reaction before I continue.

OK- Here is an amazing anti static paint for cables and equipment chassis. Mix PVA glue, white tourmaline powder, titanium dioxide, graphene nanoparticles, synthetic mica, natural mica and barium titanate.

To create a mat from the anti-static paint, apply the mixture to the rough side of aluminum oxide sandpaper. Paint the reverse side with carbon black/PVA (or shungite powder/PVA) and dry in the sun. You now have a powerful mat. Stack several together, and you now have a very very powerful audio mat.

" Other effects are more mysterious, and I won't attempt to explain them because I don't understand the precise causes. My discoveries are made via practical experiments, not scientific theories"

No thanks. This is a recipe for trouble.  I am a retired process chemist with 35 years experience and I wouldn't do what you are doing.

You may be correct. On second thoughts I do not advise anyone else to undertake the experiments I have done myself. But at least you now know something about the weird world of audio chemistry. Such as the incredible anti-static effect of graphene mixed with mica.

Quick question. How do you know the effects are anti-static related and not something else? I’m not 100% but I don’t think either mica or Graphene are anti-static. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to use a good anti static spray or reduce static electric charges in the room with a humidifier?

The Chinese military uses graphene/mica mix for anti static paint. Graphene/mica creates an incredibly powerful anti-static effect when the graphene is intercalated between the mica particle layers. It needs to be thoroughly mixed for maximum effect, which is why I use nanoparticles which are able to penetrate the mica layers.
