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

I never claimed or even suggested shungite was piezoelectric. Only crystals can be piezoelectric. So, there’s that. But my point seems to have gone wooosh! over your head because shungite can not (rpt not) act on EM waves by shielding or absorption because the entire component would have to covered with shungite. RF would simply do and end run around the shungite. 🏈

Shungite is not like a Bounty Towel, the Quicker Picker Upper. So what left? Well, there is placebo effect. Don’t get me wrong. I would not object to a placebo effect every once in a while. It occurs to me the latest and greatest audiophile products employ Graphene, not shungite. But maybe there is a market for shungite, too. Let’s wait and see. 👀

Update About the breaker panel:

I add 2 another "golden" plates on the breakers panel, glued with nanotaper, the audible effect were striking.... It was the 12 th and 13 th in my basements, and the 7 th and 8 th on the breakers panel (all around 275 gram each)… There are 5 located on the optical cables boxes and wall unused plug....

These 2 last one provoke a great deal audible effects and I was surprized indeed...I  calculate the cost of a big lithium battery compared with the cost of all the shungite plates , it is 1000 dollars I save with the plates...But is the result are the same? I dont know but I doubt that the battery non treated with my golden plates would be way better that what I have now...

Placebo effect is not cumulative in this way, for example before placing a G.P. (golden plate) at some place, I tried some other places...The effects are never the same in intensity.... The weigh of the G.P. plays also a role...Then the placebo effect work only with some critical weigh and at some favorite location? And the placebo effect work cumulatively? It is a great deal to put on the back of the placebo effect... :)

Placebo effect is part of any experiment yes, but cannot be invoked for explaining everything....My breakers panels is not my body, I cannot fool it with a placebo product instead of the regular aspirin...Placebo effect experiment need statistical calculus for his impact to be estimated and eliminated, on a crowd in a medical experiment, because it is already always there and cannot grow if not use with reinforced suggestion, because each patient is a sensible suggestible reactive organism in some way...The population of breakers panels dont react like a population of living body.... For sure my psychic brain is suggestible, but reducing all my audio experiment with different locations, weights and differents stones, to placebo effect, because there is no apparent alteration of the electronic components is too much assuming explanation for my taste... :) It seems you dont have explanations at all simply...At least I have one, the electrical grid is sensible and modified when we introduce something in them...

I dont know about graphene... I will try some liquid formula from china , I wait for, to put that on the G.P to enhance them if possible.... I will see...


But the effect of my G.P. mimic the effects others reported about graphene based products, perhaps not with the same power and efficiency, I dont know... But in my audio system the G.P. formula is striking, conjugated with the Shumann Generator, the golden plate+H.D. and tourmaline they are very powerful...So powerful my results that I enjoy very much what I have already, even if better effect is possible, the cost will surpass my wish to go there...I want homemade formula at low cost... :)

My point,( seems "to have gone whoosh! over your head"), is not that shungite blocked the R.F. at all, my point is that the structural qualities of each stone I used, introduced in an electrical grid, alters the grid( by some "filtering" and this is only my metaphor to describe the effect, I agree with you on that)....Then it is not necessary to cover all the breakers panel to have a powerful effect like you said....

The last year of my audio journey, with all these simple homemade creations of mine, i produced in a way an another audio system with the same electronic basic components, amp, dac, speakers...

Explaining a total change in imaging, dynamic, timbre, soundstage, increased clarity in frequencies and perception of new details,  by placebo effect is a bit too much.... If someone dont have an explanation it is better to say so, better than invoke the useful ghost out of the medical context in the experimental fields...By the way in the course of my experiments there is also a "nocebo" effect, the contrary effect of placebo where instead of an improvement there is a degradation effect... This is when the bad stones is located at a bad location....


But "placebo" + "nocebo" cancel each other....Then subsist the necessity to explain the increasing positive effect at the end... :)
