: Actually, you're wrong

Look up piezo electricity in almost any manual. Application of a voltage, and it does not have to be a direct voltage, but also a EMI field, generates crystal motion. A controlled direct voltage will generate a steady vibrational frequency when applied to a specific shape. Random sized crystals and varying fields have a much more varying effect.

After this, I will no longer attempt to define the piezo effect any further, at least not with you. As Bart points out, your ideas are so firmly fixed you do not see any further beyond the dogma you preach.

I have already stated that anything in a sound room will affect the acoustical properties,(Hello, are you reading?). Crystals are not the most effective, in my experience, at controlling acoustical vibration, and believe me I have some 15 pounds of various quartz based crystals of different sizes, even jewelry findings which are faceted. You are jumping to conclusions that I have not experimented with them. I have tried all the objects I have listed and even have had your Brilliant Pebbles Jars.
Sorry, yours were the least effective.

Of course YMMV, but then again I don't smake them either.

You did not have the instructions for Brilliant Pebbles - so I'm not surprised they were not effective for you. As we saw from Carcass' post the wrong location can hurt the sound. So, ya see, you can;t just place the crystals willy-nilly around the room, you need to have a plan. LOL
I suspect you're confusing flexing/vibrating of the crystal itself with the atomic motion I've proposed.
Good luck with all your Strawmen, I know you'll be very happy. LOL

  I got a brand new unopened package. Even talked with you at the time although you may not remember.

    You're obviously "bluffing." The instructions do not come with the "brand new unopened package" of Brilliant Pebbles.
    
    That is SO funny. Oh, well, better luck next time. LOL

      what legitimate manufacturer would supply a product without recommendations of placement or use? I distinctly remember a sheet of recommendation for placement that my friend gave me. I also played around with the BP at CES in a booth with some bookshelf speakers. Over all assessment, including those of the people in the booth, was negligible with over half not hearing a difference worthy of the price tag.

        Why should anyone care about the "assessment" by you and guys in the booth at CES think? A booth at CES? Gimme a break. LOL

        you were the one who dropped it off.

        Dropped what off where? I never dropped anything off at any booth at CES. Booths are too, uh, disembodied. I make it a point to stick with big important systems.
