Stu all salt crystals are not alike

Size appears to matter with these crystal tweaks, at least insofar as RFI control, which to my thinking is really all that's going on. Kosher salt is larger in size than regular Mortons. (In fact, different salts are recommended differently in cooking and brining for this reason too.)

You are adding a crystal to another crystal. I do not know the characteristics of common salt (NaCl) electrically, but cane sugar crystals, as I recall are piezoelectric to some extent.

From my experiments years ago it was the piezoelectric and sometimes pyroelectric characteristics of various crystals that had the sonic impact via controlling RFI. Read my and Al Sekela's old posts. There is good theoretical reasoning here.
