Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
Will Blu Tack burst into flames in exposed to a match? no. Will it burn if it is in an extended flame? no.Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu_Tack |
lowrider57 Thanks so much, Elizabeth, terrific explanation. Now it makes sense why you have the quartz crystals in different areas, and why so many tweaks are for sale to treat these same areas. I was aware of possible RFI being found in the obvious areas such as unshielded AC cable and transformers. The Crystals and similar tweaks to be used system-wide seemed unnecessary to me. >>>Since I am the creator of the first comprehensive crystal based solution for audio applications - Brilliant Pebbles - bear 🐻 with me, gentle readers while I address is comment briefly. Over a period of time starting about 15 years ago I discovered a great many location where crystals (my products are not individual crystals but groups of crystals of various types and sizes) improve the sound. I also discovered locations where their use is either ineffective or hurts the sound. Furthermore, as I just mentioned most locations where crystals improve the sound they operate as mechanical and acoustic resonators. If the entire 3D Space of the room is mapped out for sound pressure level, those locations such as room corners where sound pressure levels can be 4-8 dB or more higher than the average SPL in the room. And beacause crystals are resonators caution should be used when applying them to electronics and isolation stands, for example. Crystals act as vibration absorbers due to the spring like behavior of atoms in the symmetrical atomic structure of the crystals and the reason multiple crystals are more effective than any single crystal is because the operational bandwidth is wider. Power to the pebble! |
I’m gonna throw my recent experience into the mix. my system VPI prime, Hana SL, Lehmann Black Cube SE2 Bluesound node 2, Schiit Bifrost multibit. Primaluna Dialogue Premium int. Focal 1008be2 Audio sensibility wiring. As I moved from Yaqin 100b to the primaluna , no contest. adding the Focal speakers took me closer to a wonderful sound that I was quite happy with in my 11X16X10 room. I had bought some Hubell 5362 outlets a while ago and never installed them. I had had an electrician run a 20 amp line to my stereo before I made my equipment upgrades, however they installed their outlets, and didn’t really attach the box to the studs. Well I finally had some time to replace the outlets and attach the box to the studs. To say that there was an improvement would be disingenuous. I had more bass, more micro detail, deeper soundstage, and wider. Now I need to get some bass traps. But I am a believer. The crappy outlets they installed were less that half the weight of the hubbells. |
