...instead of talking down to the rest of us without offering any useful explanations--as is your usual practice. I've used QR8s on wall surfaces and they do seem to work there, although not with as much effect as when they are near electronics. When I bought them--about three or four years ago--I tried them in the locations that Acoustic Revive suggested. Some of these locations worked, most produced marginal results. The explanations on their web site are poor translations from Japanese originals and don't seem to offer much inight into the mechanisms at work.
For example, "We, ACOUSTIC REVIVE, have tested every possible material that never generates own tone of the material and improves sound quality. Finally we found out pure smoky quartz and pure quartz as a material of the insulator."
And, "There are some theories why the quartz improves sound. Some say that the pure quartz absorbs an electromagnetic wave, some another say that the pure quartz controlls vibration, or that the pure quartz radiate far infrared light. Anyway pure quartz have effects of improving sound that are never gained from the other materials."
What I took from this "white paper" is that Acoustic Revive has found some stuff that improves the sound of audio but doesn't really know how it works. Or if they do, they can't afford a translator who can explain it in plain English. And Machina Dynamica?
