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.

whostolethebatmobile I have a question for you.Why you have chosen white tourmaline instead of Black?
I have an idea to do the following recipe.
Mix PVA glue, white tourmaline powder, titanium dioxide, mica powder, graphene nanoparticles, shungite and barium titanate.
And painting the internal lid of my components.
I hope to obtain the same clarity in sound I've got with the PPT E+ Mat on top of my integrated amp.

I generally use white tourmaline powder (from ion trading, Japan) because I have compared it to black and it's more powerful. I use black when I run out of white, it's almost as good. 3 micron white tourmaline is the best I've tried, but 40 micron is also quite good.

The mix you describe will be very powerful. The only reservation I have is directly mixing the barium titanate and graphene nanoparticles. When you use a generous helping of  barium titanate and graphene (and who wouldn't want to?), you may get an oxidizing reaction between those two ingredients, causing bubbling. I'm a mad scientist, not a qualified chemist, but my guess is the graphene may be converted to graphene oxide, which is ok but let's just say I don't like chemical reactions taking place when I make my formulae. 
Your mix could also use some additional crystal component, such as fine silicon carbide. You don't need much, but it would help sharpen things up. Works great in combo with the barium titanate. 
Maybe you could consider applying layers instead of mixing everything together. I have found that shungite works best when it's kept on its own layer. But if that's not practical, a total mix will still be great.

Ouch, good to know, since I have no idea about mixing Graphene and BaTiO₃ will creating oxidation, better avoid then.
So I think I will go with white tourmaline powder, titanium dioxide, mica powder, graphene nanoparticles, and green silicon carbide.
Maybe I’ll avoid Shungite too then.
My idea is to create a sort of paint and not a mat, where I can lacquer the internal lid of my components, include my power distributor.
Mica powder is available in tons of different colors, which one better use?
Thank You
P.S. I bought a PPT E+ Mat and I’ve got an incredible improvement in details and clarity.
Better than all the chord tools I’ve tried in the past without doubt.
But because I couldn’t afford more I bought just one mat, so my goal now is to obtain the same SQ improvement by this paint.
