In Reply to: RE: Some experiments on Crystals posted by unclestu on March 19, 2015 at 17:36:24
The crystals, I should have added, were allowed to simply roll in the bag of dry salt, then taken out and placed where they normally were. Saline soak was suggested but the time to dry would be really long, although since crystals are natural, I suspect they would have micro fissures and I am not comfortable with saline leaching out my electronics. I would have to do long term trials before recommending.
Initial try at leaving 4 mm amethyst in salt for an hour lead to enhanced performance for about 2 1-2 hours.

Hi Unclestu,
What I can add is that I use salt lamps for years in my lisetening room and appreciate it's effects on sound
:)
There is some kind of interaction between the salt n quartz. They need to be placed adjacent to each other in order to get an improvement in sound, after which the quartz is "charged", so to speak, although the length of the effect is in question. As a matter of fact, salt alone has limited affect and seems to lack any piezo electric properties on which the quartz based stones are predicated.
Salt lamps are supposed to generate ions. There are many other devices which also do so: ionic hair dryers and curlers, for example. These are based on the fact that tourmaline is pyro electric.
Howdy unclestu,
Acoustic Revive of Japan has produced a number of devices based on the use of quartz and tourmaline. Interestingly, they offer a power cable with a jacket impregnated with tourmaline that's on my DIY must-try list.
BTW, don't let wet blanket tossing naysayers bug yourself enough to interfere with sharing your ideas and insights within the forum. I hope you are feeling better these days.
Best regards,
Duster
I am trying my best to ignore naysayers, as it seems many will say impossible without ever trying. Not believing is a personal issue, in my thinking. Seems like they just to bait, though. That's fine, by me....but most have absolutely nothing positive to contribute.
Have you checked out Bybee's website about carbon C13 isotope. In my experience it is one of the greatest improvements one can add to any audio system. It can be phenomenally expensive however. His Power cord is, gulp, only $1600.
I am fortunate in that I am good friends with some molecular biologists and they actually use this stuff as biological tracers. So I managed to purloin a gram or two. IT is fantastic stuff and I understand Jack is applying for patents currently....
What is interesting thus far, is the salt treatment of quartz makes it sound fairly similar to the amethyst although the treated amethyst does sound better. Differences between stones seem to be minimized. So I have this bag of samples on a salt bag, but its going to take time to go through them all in a controlled manner. My posting, in a way, is a plea for help.
There is absolutely NO way I can go through all the possible permutations not to mention measure the length of the effect. Hell I don't really know the working mechanism yet, but that often comes more apparent through negative results.
Thus far it works superbly on power ends, IC ends, over speaker magnets, motors and transformers. Its kinda scary, in a way. Bybee has found a way to impregnate the surface layer of conductors with C13.
The scary part is this is all on the subatomic level. I don't think the general lay public can absorb the fact that events on the subatomic level can create an audible change

Hi, Unclestu....so happy you mention this and put it into words. I've suspected this for years, and feel strongly that's exactly what's occurring with so many products and components, especially as it relates to cabling and the myriad material interactions. L,C, and R are on the proverbial surface....so much more is occurring at extremely low levels that, at this time, cannot be measured....that is, unless one has access to the equipment found at Lawrence-Livermore or Brookhaven.
Thank you for the continued support over the years, no matter how outlandish my posting have been.
A few words now and then do mean a lot but i am sure as a fellow dealer you know what I mean
I am always learning from your extensive knowledge and willingness to take risks. And you always explain your methodology, and resultants when possible. If only others left their ears (and minds) open....
Considering the flack that you (and others) receive by doing the heavy lifting, I'm reminded of a great parable, and lesson:
"A mind is like a parachute. It works best when open."
Stu, I've read your C13 posts and I can't find where you say what you actually do with the stuff. Please explain.. (I understand what bybee does, but you had some salts, right? - so what do you do? Sprinkle in your amp?? ;)
Hi Unclestu!
You forgot something about salt: it dries the atmosphere around so salt is a 2in1 tool against static electricity, ions and dry air!
:)
I brush off the salt when placing the crystals on my components.
The working mechanism is still speculative, however, and that much is very true. I anticipate I will playing with this effect for many weeks to come trying to get a hold on it.
