So you have no theory to contradict the Shun Mook theory of sympathetic resonance, eh? You don't actually think the Mpingo disc is an RFI/EMI device, do you? It certainly sounds like you do but are a little timid about coming right out and saying it. Lol. I hate to judge before all the facts are in but it seems pretty clear, your stubbornness notwithstanding, that the presence of the crystal inside the Mpingo disc supports my contention that crystals act as acoustic and mechanical resonators in the majority of cases.
You wrote a day or two ago,
"This is but a small sampling of the mpingo that I have, having been experimenting with the wood for well over a decade."
Perhaps you misspoke. Maybe you should have said, "well over two decades" In any case, can I offer the observation that time spent experimenting does not necessarily guarantee success? Lol

      You actually scrupulously avoided telling me your theory or what they told you. Nice try.
      - Well, you stated - unclestu 17:34:11 01/28/13 (1)

        that your theory was that the shape of the disc made all the difference, citing different bevels and such. I detect absolutely no change from disc to disc in the physical shape and wrote so. You claim to have reverse engineered the disc. I see no product of your engineering.
        
        So essentially i see no support for your theory, if indeed you even had one. Why should I be any different from you?
        
        Go back and read what I actually said - geoffkait 18:03:20 01/28/13 (0)

        No I didn't state that. I said that the way the disc was cut, including beveling and the physical dimensions of the disc, as well as how the disc was oriented top to bottom and azimuth was what was important. Not to mention where the disc was placed. Maybe you should keep a running logbook so you don't have to rely on your memory. I also said I agree with the Shun Mook explanation of sympathetic resonance. I assume you have some other theory, one you seem reticent to divulge, can't say I blame you.

All too often, these threads quickly turn into a Geoff and Stu pissing match. In an attempt to showcase your superiority over one another, you both encroach beyond the point of science meets fantasy, and you embarrass yourselves in the process.

But this is the essence of high-end audio isn't it? It's entertainment after all. So keep it up; I find it highly amusing.
