Crystals react to energy. The energy could be acoustic waves, I.e., mechanical energy or vibration such as structureborne vibration. Both are application of my crystals. In other words crystals act as "resonators" and dissipate (unwanted) energy. Along the lines of those tiny little resonator bowls. If an entire wall was painted with a crystal bearing paint it seems to me the "wanted" frequencies would be dissipated along with the unwanted ones. Kind of like using too much Sonex or whatever. The room would become an anechoic chamber, which is probably not a good thing. But I’m just guessing how acoustic paint would actually be applied to room walls. If acoustic paint was used sparingly on walls, in specific locations such as first reflection points, then it would make more sense. The crystals could also react to energy of RFI/EMI in the room, presumably reducing the level of same.
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
I installed a SR RED Quantum fuse in my ARC REF-3 preamp a few days ago, replacing an older high end fuse. Uhh ... for a hundred bucks, this little baby is well worth the cost. There was an immediate improvement upon installation, but now that its broken in (yes, no kidding), its quite remarkable. A tightening of the focus, a more solid image, and most important of all for my tastes, a deeper appreciation for the organic sound of the instruments. Damn! ... cellos sound great! Much improved attack on pianos. More humanistic on vocals. Bowed bass goes down forever. Next move? .... I'm doing the entire system with these fuses. One at a time though just to gauge the improvement in each piece of equipment. The REF-75se comes next. I'll report the results as the progression takes place. Stay tuned ...
Any comments from anyone else who has tried these fuses?
