In Reply to: RE: Using Rochelle salt to absorb EMI from your homes AC line to supercharge your audio system performance posted by cdc on November 14, 2023 at 22:57:25
As simple and inexpensive the tweak is, the performance increase is likely beyond any tweak or upgrade you have ever experienced. For about $20 in materials. If you follow the "free" DIY I offered the performance gains are immediate. You will hear information/detail in your recordings that were not available to you before. The DIY instructions were only made available recently. But audiophiles that have tried the tweak are reporting similar results to what I get after installing the tweak. Which is the following:
* increased speed and impact of macro and micro dynamics
* increased ultra fine micro detail retrieval across the entire note or sounds being heard. This is across the whole note or sound(s) from attack to decay and effects the entire frequency spectrum.
* Blacker/quieter background
* improves timbre, probably because of the first two benefits noted above
* separation and space within the sound stage is also improved
* Bass slam and bass detail retrieval of ultra fine detail is improved.

CDC, since I can't do a thing about this until I get home in February, I've been looking into the history and properties of the salt itself. This has been haltingly, in between croissants, but I find interesting stuff. (Like, I am not supposed to aim my X-ray gun at it, really.)
One item caught my attention. It appears that some of this salt's properties change if it absorbs humidity. Which, for us living in Florida...
I may be a few croissants and espressos away from finding specifics as they may relate to our purpose. Have you seen or observed anything along these lines so far?
If I remember correctly I introduced this tweak about 2.5 months ago. I have not read or had feedback that the performance of the tweak has diminished over time or has not worked for someone. The users of this tweak are from all around the world. What I do not know, and is impossible for me to compare to is the differences between climates. I personally live in a dry climate. If where you live has a humid climate, you can share your experience when you try the tweak.
Thanks. The impression I got from reading about this effect is that it is not "quick". Furthermore, the salt is encapsulated in plastic, which would delay whatever impact there might be. Oh well, perhaps I'll just prepare an extra set, with "wet bags", and compare during the initial round; with a just a handful of outlets. LOL, we might discover a Wet Sound SQ dimension to the salt.
...or I overdo the wetting and get electrocuted. :)
I have used Tourmaline in Christal and power form for years to good effect.
Good, and then please post what your experience is. I think you will be quite happy with the results. Performance gains/effect of the tweak are immediate. The more junction points along the AC line that is filtered or treated the more resolving your system will get. I just highly recommend following the DIY exactly regarding placement and volume/weight of the Rochelle salt used to start.
I use Tourmaline powder and small chip sized pieces as part of a ground box recipe and ground cable enhancement wrap. I also use several other minerals. So far I have found Rochelle salt to be the most effective at absorbing EMI within the context of an audio system. The key is where to apply/use and volume used.
Did not know Biden was an audiophile!
