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

Update:

It seems all details count in Audio...

The power supply of my dac, Ifipower, was on some cork plate with shungite, near the floor of my room....

I forget that this shungite was nude without copper, then this was not a "golden" plate....Today I go to a flea market, I spot a 5 pound alabaster thick plate (old ashtray) I bought it...


I put it on top of the cork plate on the floor and put the Ifipower on it...I transform my shungite plate in a"golden" plate with copper tape....I had forget about that power supply because it is under the wooden box where is my computer...

It takes only one minute of listening to hear the more detailed sound.... :)

The "golden" plate like they are now are the real deal.... The alabaster plate also decouple better the Ifipower from the floor than just the cork plate only.... That work flawlessly with no negatives ….

There exist so many points in the complex grid encompassing the audio system in each house that only incremental step by step controls methods, using multiple ways in its 4 dimensional embeddings, can gives to each of us the solution to a greater S.Q.; an upgrade S.Q. without any purchase of a costly electronic component for a fraction of the price.

I read an article about a 40 thousand dollars P.C. USB server and dac, and comparing the same musical files in my P.C. with the impressions of the reviewer, gives me the feeling that the gap between this marvellous piece of engineering and my humble audio system, but very tweaked and controlled installation, was not an abyss... Most people underestimated the noise level on their house electrical grid and think that upgrading for example the conditioner will solve the problem, or purchasing a miraculous power supply...All that will give an upgrade decreasing the noise level, but introducing a noise of its own....

The law of diminishing returns is way more lower than most of us think when we address the embeddings of our audio system the right way, without introducing new electronical component with their own noise level ...

There exist NO electronical component that will not contribute in an higher noise level.... It is always a trade-off...This is the reason why " non electronical way" to act on the electrical grid is so impactful....Personally I choose the passive ways with stones, especially my "golden" plates....No trade-off in the noise floor....

I am astounded by the fact that the S.Q. we lost, unbeknownst to us, because of a too much higher noise floor, is totally out of our consciousness like a blind spot... It surprise me each times when I lower the noise floor, because it is an incremental step by step process, no miracle here....

 Perhaps going off the grid is the way, but the cost are way too much for me now to try it....But even battery introduce noise then my "golden" plates will be useful there also....

UPDATE:

Today I added 2 other USB  Schumann generators to my 8 others...With "golden" thin plates and Herkimer diamond or tourmaline on the connector plugs in the wall and on top of them...

There are located all around me at left and right, front and rear...It is magical, the imaging is better each time I added one.... That cost is low 10 bucks each except the costly one in front of me....It is way better than one costly one, because they are all around and work uniformly....

I will return in my heaven now.... My best to all....

Update:

After many hours of listening in my 2 position: nearfield and the regular one the audible effects of the 2 new added Schumann generators + thin golden plate+ tourmaline or Herkimer diamond are evident...

The sound is more airy and less linked to the speakers than ever, like floating in the room or around me in nearfield...More refine sound....

The way to go is USB S.G. because it is cheap and you can put many of them around you (10 for me) and then they work more powerfully on the room acoustics in this way than only one in a not so ideal location....Think about that: for 20 bucks I have something, these 2 new S.G. that feel like the upgrade of an amplifier or like a new dac ….I change no piece of my main gear tough for 2 years now, only adds each times something to refine the controls of my 4 embeddings mostly the electrical one and the acoustical one....

And in most threads now people speak about dac costing a truck load of money or amplifier or speakers without knowing the simple way to upgrade and install rightfully what they already own that is often already top of the line …

The fact that they are not satisfied by the sound they already have speak volume about the lacks of the right embedding for their audio system, if they care about the 4 embeddings at all...For the last 2 years I am no more interested in a sound savior incarnated by a "miraculous" trade mark new brand speakers, dac, or amplifiers....I know what makes any good hi-fi system truly really great....It is cheap and rewarding...



I feel like a fool reading and answering my own posts.... :)

a remark:

It is incredible but each increasing S.Q. change is incremental and build on the previous one...The road is open and you go on behind each leading improvement idea coming from the last one...

The level of changes I had experienced in the last years exceed by all measure all the changes in my first 6 years of unconscious moves toward improvement, at this times mainly by dreaming about a miraculous piece of gear like the ultimate solution ( Berning ZOTL amplifier for example, and I dont doubt about the high quality of this component I dream to buy one day).


Just a little change in my audio system that is very sensible now can reveal astounding improvement... One inch rectangular piece of Shungite+ copper tape on one side ( what I called a thin"golden" plate) put on only one Schumann generator( I have 10 S.G. ) makes a spectacular improvement in piano timbre and rendition for example...


The more your system is rightly embedded the more some tiny or innocuous modification gives to you some impactful impression....


I am amazed to report here one change after another in my audio system, I am amazed and I am conscious now of this fact: almost all people are unconscious of the higher capabilities of their own audio system …. Dont buy anything costly, think before....

If my remark are useful for only one of you I will be glad....If someone had teach me that the first years would have been less painful less frustrating and more fun....Newcomers like I was, except for buying, we dont know what to do and where to begins... It is simple, there exist mainly 4 embeddings : mechanical, electrical, and 2 acoustical room modifications way, one passive the other active... You begins with these 4, little by little changes....Homemade simple stuff and low cost materials are all is needed...
