Another new sound system

I tested the new TFT serum batch last night. I sandpapered and painted the digital cable connecting the laptop to the Kii control. The sonic improvement is the greatest I have ever experienced, with any system change. I am going to apply another coat today, to see what happens.

I now know for sure that digital cables are responsible for huge a degradation of sonic quality which is very audible to anyone and not subtle or minor, and that it can be cured.

(There's something supernatural about graphene and its interaction with other minerals and chemicals in audio. It's like it "wants" to help you. It's crazy to think like that, but there's something very, very strange about the way it works.)

:yup:
paint fumes must be getting to you guy. paint the record and see what it sounds like next
It would defiitely sound incredible if you painted the reverse side. However, I wouldn't consider doing that unless it was for test purposes only, using a worthless and horrible disc. I have painted my turntable mat with the serum, and that's the next best thing.

I made a transfer last night, of a rare acetate that I am working on for release on a US label. I made a previous transfer of the same acetate without the SuperToneBlast (STB) serum (on cables etc.), and the new one with STB paint is miles better in every way. I will soon post an example of what the STB serum can do for digital sound.

I had to change the name from TFT because STB is so much more advanced than TFT ever was, due to the high BT/G concentration, and the overall balance of the mixture which surely must be near perfection now, judging by the results.

Right now next door my neighbours are demolishing and rebuliding their house. Only 25 feet from my stereo, there are two monster-size bulldozers with jackhammers, excavating into the rock with hammer drills all day long. The STB serum improvements can still easily be heard even with that crazy background noise which is almost as loud as the music.

The Rolling Stones "Empty Heart" stereo version is one of the most insane and realistic sounding recordings I have ever heard, period. 2120 South Michigan Avenue (long stereo version) is almost as good.

Just a reminder...this is "Crank's Corner". We're all cranks here so you only have yourself to blame for visiting. :hihi:
 
I found a perfect selection of just the right crystal sands for my next batch, on Etsy. I don't know about the rhodonite, it looks too coarse, but the others are perfect. Almost all of them are extremely piezoelectric. Also, being certified suitable for Voodoo and Hoodoo is a plus. Laugh if you like, but witchcraft/voodoo people really know which crystals have the best powers. 19 different high-energy piezo crystals should make a fabulous batch of STB serum. A lot of these are the same as the ones I used in the current 10 crystal STB batch.

  • Materials: Amethyst, Angelite, Black Tourmaline, Carnelian, Citrine, Crystal Quartz, Epidote, Garnet, Lapis, Malachite, Peridot, Pyrite, Rainbow Moonstone, Sodalite, Rose Quartz, Yellow Aventurine, Selenite

Perhaps God knows even better. A list of gemstones He wanted the Israelites to use in his temple:

Ruby or Corundum / Topaz / Emerald / Sapphire / Diamond / Ligure / Agate / Amethyst / Beryl / Onyx / Jasper
 
My comments on God's choices :

Ruby is pure corundum, which is aluminium oxide (with chromium impurities giving the color). It is in red sandpaper and also in one of those big 25kg bags I have. Of course it is manufactured artificially, it's not natural ruby but it's the same.

Topaz - I have never seen powdered topaz for sale, but I have some topaz which I found myself in a creek bed (Obrien's Creek, north Qld) when I used to go gemhunting as a teenager.

I could crush one or two of them. But not this 520 carat beast which I dug out of the creek, and because it was so huge, I thought it was just a piece of quartz and hit it with a hammer and broke off a large chunk of it: A local guy at O'Brien's Creek service station told me what I had done. :redface:. This is 52 years ago, when I was 13 years old.

Just looking at this video of O'Brien's Creek as it is today - full of tourist gemhunters.

When I was there with my parents, we were the ONLY people there. There was no caravan park, no road either! We camped under the stars, which were so bright because there was barely any electric light for 50 miles in any direction. The Milky Way at night was incredible, I still remember how amazing it looked.

Emerald is the same as chemical composition as aquamarine (they are both varieties of beryl, different only in color. I have no idea why God needed beryl if He already had emerald). I have aquamarine in the current mix so that covers emerald.

Sapphire - I have a whole bag of sapphires that I found myself at Anakie/Rubyvale, near Emerald, Qld. I could crush a few of them.

Industrial Diamond - too expensive? It's pure carbon, which is the same as both graphene and shungite which are already in use in the mix. I'd like to try it, but it would have to be used sparingly, unfortunately.

Ligure is Lapis Lazuli, which I already use.

Agate / Amethyst / Onyx / Jasper - I am already using all of these. They are all quartz varieties and easy to source cheaply. I actually use Carnelian instead of Jasper. It's the same only more densely cryptocrystaline.
 
I only had time to do one transfer. There's still some things I could do to make the next transfer test even better than this one

Mark your efforts are appreciated beyond belief by me. However I couldn't hear a difference between treated or non treated cables. The reason being my hearing doesn't recognize the high notes or treble that good. I wish I still had "virgin" ears. My amp has treble turned up to the max to be able to listen to the high notes. :(

Not sure what you're comparing it to, Jim - this is the only transfer I'm aware of that Mark has done on his Moon-based system of this song. Did I miss something?

Thanks Jim. You may not be aware and I should have noted - the flac and mp3 versions of the SillyWhimTest are exactly the same. The file format is the only difference, so they should sound exactly the same (or very close).

It sounds beautiful on my desktop speakers! Thank you for sharing this, Mark!
I'm going to make 2 new power cords, using SBT serum tomorrow. Then I won't have to keep unplugging the cords from the upstairs Kii system and taking them downstairs to the bunker system to make the transfers. It doesn't sound like a lot of bother...but it is, because both systems are very complex and delicate near the power points. So the next test will be with new power cords, also made from cheap black household power cords. I can make them better this time, having learned a lot making the first two. I am considering starting by sandpapering the cables first, then wrapping them tightly in thin cotton bandages soaked in PVA glue, to allow better adhesion of the SBT serum coatings. Or even better, 3M Micropore adhesive thin paper bandage might be perfect.
 

Thanks for these, Mark, they sound great! The Jesters record has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Just recently, one of the band members was located and the band was pinned as being from Marion, North Carolina which is just down the road from me.

I noticed there’s no label pics in the Boss Bunker yet. I’d love to see those if you get the chance!
