Hey magister!
Wanted to report that I just took my first dive into the placebo pool with some very “quieting” hunks of Shungite
This stuff is very weird. Kind of tingly when I hold several pieces in my hands.
Is this stuff completely benign for humans?
It sure does deepen the black levels on both audio and video.
First "placebos" is not an explanation for increase positive effects step by step experiments resulting in many positive S.Q. for 2 years... When a pills increase his effects with time and dosage, it is no more a placebo...
Second read about shungite for his non negative effect on health...
Third for an improved effect in audio put some copper tape on one side of the shungite plate, i call that " a golden plate" and put it near , power supply, or the electrical central panel, or anywhere in upstream of the audio system but NOT near the dac,or the amplifier....( the copper side always external) You can try it behind the speakers electronics or cables....There will be a lowering of the noise floor that i cannot explain at low cost....
I am in the business to give to myself and others that dont have the money the Hi-Fi experience, mainly with homemade low cost methods that improve the mechanical (resonance-vibrations) embeddings of an audio system, the electrical embeddings by lowering the noise floor of the house, and the acoustical atmosphere of a room not only with passive materials but with active methods...All my ideas are free to use and experiment with....
Even if my system look like a joke, it is not one. trust me....I dont need to upgrade it at all, then at least he is good....
Most people dont know how to embed their audio system and know only one way to create a better S.Q. : very costly upgrading.... I know better and i want to give that advice to all: embedding an audio system is the KEY to a great S. Q.
Never upgrade BEFORE embedding what you already owns.....Then you will listen to the true potential of what you already have in hands BEFORE changing it at higher cost, half of the times with no more complete satisfaction....
My best to you....
