the bottom was painted with straight C37, the higher temperature formula... one fairly thin layer, the result was a decent improvement in coherence, sweetness, surely not mind boggling, a good solid base hit...I took the lid off the Evo4 and turned it upside down, then took a 2 ounce bottle of high temp C37 and mixed it with about 150 carats if I recall correctly of 15 micron. Stirred vigorously although the diamond settled with unusual speed and formed a heavy paste towards the botton of the mixing bottle. I worked from the outside edges of the case inwards, so the center of the top was painted with a thick C37/diamond paste that I tried to flatten and even out as much as I could. That set up for a few days at a warm room temperature then went on the amp... fired it up, couldn't believe what I was hearing, gobs and gobs of new information...
After that experience I started researching the methods of the great violin makers. They seem to have layered pure varnish with a mineral loaded varnish then covered with a pure varnish. This may give the perfect balance between speed and intesnity of diamond and the sweetness of C37. To do it again I would coat the bottom first with an ounce bottle of C37 (depending on the size of the amp you may need 1/3 more or 1/3 less), let it sit for 2 days, hook it up and play it for a week while the C37 hardens from the warmth of the amp,
then I would suspend about 50 carats of 5 micron in another ounce, paint that on, repeat the cure sequence, and slowly build it up until it hits perfect tuning. Each amp will be different, some may need two layers, some may need five... the greatest surprise to me was how sensitive digital amplifiers can be to vibration and how well they respond to resonant tuning. I have never tried this with a standard SS amp or a tube amp. I did a lot of initial investigations with a Spectron Musician II and other tuning tools, found the Spectron strangely unresponsive, it would clean up alright, but nothing I did could ever bring it into the magical region.
