Himalayan SALT Lamp

Dr. Lirpa (of Audio magazine fame)in his hypothetical systems had concluded that Himalayan salt lamps had an effect on how NOS tubes sounded compared to your generic Russian or Chinese tubes. He also deduced that if your system used germanium transistors it improved the sound. He also suggested channeling either Timothy Leary, Ching & Chong or just the mere gentleman Johnny Walker while using the lamp in your listening room.

In addition to the above sage advice, I can tell you I have one in my room with no ill effects on my system whatsoever.

My salt lamp is very neutral sounding. Soft light too.

I get an audible buzz when I light them up.

Could the potential corrosive effects be along the lines of "sea air"? Healthy to breathe maybe.

I'd avoid it if I had to choose, but then again I'm not so crazy about the darn things to start with. I like my expensive audio toys better. So choosing is easy.
