Another new sound system

I think you'd be better off putting a second wand behind the electricity meter. I still recall the profound effect it had on the fidelity when we treated it with TFT. Furthermore, I would remove the front panel of the distribution board to treat the inside surfaces with SBT, or even TFT tape.

TFT is totally obsolete, I'm afraid. STB is in another league, or dimension. Really TFT just has to be removed and discarded unfortunately. Or at least filed away. As for meddling behind the distribution board, I have my limits, and that's definitely beyond the limit! :yikes: Also I do believe unneccessary, because the wand easily penetrates the entire board. The field is probably several meters in diameter.

Yes, probably. Nanoparticle contamination of STB is a furphy. Any nano-materials I'm using are completely mixed with PVA, and therefore unable to be inhaled. As for entering the body via the skin, that is not a concern with either graphene or BT, in all the scientific studies I have read online. Resulting in a very, very low warning status for graphene. It would be virtually impossible to "ingest or inhale large quantities", even if you were dealing with graphene nanoparticles in dry form, with normal precautions. I doubt if I have inhaled any at all, in all my experiments. Plus, studies have shown that if it does enter the lungs, it is removed within weeks by the body, unlike asbestos or other dangerous particles. Graphene is in wide use now, and the chances of these studies being wrong are low, and not worth worrying about.

BTW, I know you were not really serious with your concerns, but others may be easily spooked by the nanoparticle furphy. There are nanoparticles in practically every manufactured product you buy, these days.

I have prepared two tracks to demonstrate the effect of the STB Wand. One is The Psychotics "I'm Determined" which I posted a few days ago before the invention of the wand. It was already a great transfer, but now it's way better. However, it takes exceptional quality playback equipment and preferably STB treatment on playback electrical mains to hear the real difference.

You'll notice the previous non-wand transfer sounds a little dead by comparison. This might seem like a subtle difference on normal payback gear, but on STB-maximized equipment, it's truly a big deal for realistic, natural representation of the music. Remember, you are trying to hear differences in the quality of my electrical installation, when your own is hopelessly polluted (no offence but it's true).

The other test is just a track I picked at random because its great, and after quite a few years a sonic upgrade won't go astray.

As stated previously, I won't be posting any more flacs here, but the topic remains open for discussion. I hope you've enjoyed this experiment in terror.

There's not a lot of difference that I can tell on my mini active desktop speakers plugged directly into my laptop. But, (I'm Determined) version 2 has removed some of the sibilance and forwardness of version 1, giving the overall effect of a quieter and more balanced recording. It's as if you're hearing the vocal slightly less through the amplification, but more directly. With everyone being at home with the ACT being under police state lockdown, I'm not sure when I'll have the opportunity to listen on a better sound system.
 
Yes, I think you got the vocal difference that I also can hear even on headphones.
There is not going to be a huge discernable difference on normal consumer grade mid-fi equipment. If there was, it would mean that my previous transfers were rubbish, and they aren't. The STB wand difference is truly only for ultra-high end, high resolution setups. Or for any setup (high-end or mid-fi) that has had STB treatment. The differences are more in "size", "body" and "3D location" of each instrument and of the ambience, than the overall "tone". You need equipment which can re-create this size, body and 3D location, otherwise you just don't hear it. Following the two basic STB formulae

Mid-Fi + STB = High-End

and

High-End + STB = :yikes:

The really odd thing about STB is - it sounds fantastic even with Spotify streaming. I assume that Spotify streaming is not the last word in technical high fidelity, but it certainly is capable of conveying realistic soundstage dimensions and a natural tonal balance. The STB treatments keep revealing more realism for all decent '60s audio recordings. Which leads me to the conclusion that MOST (or the majority of) '60s recordings are excellent, but Non-STB equipment and Non-STB AC mains are destroying the excellence inherent in most '60s recordings. Of couse there are also some terrible recordings that will never sound good no matter what equipment is used. The point I'm probably trying to make is :

'60s records/CDs/FLACs/streaming service are mostly adequate for potential excellence (with notable exceptions).
Any (reasonably good and well set up) stereo system is probably adequate BUT
The household electrical supply is holding everything back, to a shocking degree. This includes the Mains and the individual power feed to each component.

Listening to the best '60s music with STB quality on a high-res system can be an experience close to ecstacy. It's certainly awesome. If it were possible, I would like you to experience this as well. That's why I make flacs and write these things.
 
You're overlooking the fact that Mid-Fi + TFT = High-End. Therefore, Mid-Fi + SBT = High-End +; and High-End + SBT = :yikes: +

(Make sure you file, rather than jettison your TFT :pray:)
 
I made a large batch of STB tape today. About 4 metres long, double width. I varied the formula to include more of the powerful ingredients, plus two ingredients which I have not used for a long time. The result was by far the most powerful mixture yet. I estimate the new mixture is 3 times as powerful as standard STB. I call this new mixture STB Gold. I put one third of a layer on the wand, and it blew me away. The one third layer of STB gold was more powerful than the last 2 complete layers of standard STB. WAY more powerful. The problem is, I don't really know if it is the 2 new ingredients, or if it is the high concentration of powerful standard ingredients. The earlier mix also had a pretty high concentration, so I'm tending to favour the new ingredient theory. After taking this photo I covered the other two thirds of the wand, and the results are savage. Really aggressive and powerful, but not harsh. Just more of everything, obviously more on every record. Kick drums are actually aggresively banging on the wall behind the speakers, with super-realism and realistic size. Or you could say the wall doesn't exist any more. (The Alpha card is just a test, it's good but doesn't need to be there)
The gold color is because of the inclusion of rutile in the formula, but I suspect it's really the other new ingredient that is responsible for the power increase.

You have a future at NASA my man:clap::clap::clap:
 
At the risk of sounding like a crank... :D...I have tripled the power of STB yet again, with yet another new ingredient (which I also briefly used in the very early days, but did not pursue). It's still Gold, but it's very dark gold - Black Gold, because of the color of the new ingredient. I hope the major improvement will be apparent with any transfers made for bunker21. I will discuss the new ingredient behind the firewall of the new bunker, as the power of this latest formula is so great, it would be a tragedy if it fell into the wrong hands.
 
I've been wondering whether the STB effect can even be encoded onto a recording, digital or otherwise. On balance, the probability remains that it can. However...

What if the STB improvement was only, or mainly in the air of the listening environment? For example, by eliminating or cancelling certain electromagnetic interference that is in the neighbourhood, or in the listening room. This interference may operate on the acoustic sound wave after it has left the speaker box. In that case, the STB treatment would not be recorded onto the flacs that I make. That may or may not be a valid possibility, after all I'm a crank not a scientist.
I think it's more likely that the STB affects all the recording equipment and the beneficial effects are encoded digitally, but a lot of interference is re-introduced on playback (at your house). I'm not sure if this would completely negate the benefits of STB, or not. The improvements that I hear include the effect the STB has on the amplifiers and speakers here. Obviously, apart from the phono stage, that improvement is not encoded onto the flacs. And I don't know what degree (percentage) of the improvement is provided by the STB effect on my amps (inside the Kii), interconnect cables, speakers and speaker cables. A large percentage, I think.

And how can STB radically improve the sound of music streamed from a wi-fi modem, simply by being stuck onto the modem, or placed beside it or underneath it? It does, I can assure you.

I find this postulate to be a gross violation of Occam's razor. There's is no way I can conceive of SBT effecting the mechanical vibrations of air molecules. Not that I'm one who can think of all possibilities, but a more likely - or less unlikely, I should say - way that SBT could effect the sound - or rather, the listener's perception of the sound - other than directly through the electronics - is by reducing the amount of "dirty" EMF entering the listener's brain, thereby allowing for a purer perception of the sound.

As too how much of the treatment make it into the FLACS; obviously a good deal if my past experience with fo.q and the various stages up to TFT is anything to go by. Of course, playback equipment will always be 50% of the equation.

* The coil in the wand could also be interacting with your brain, depending on its transmission frequency. Then again there's the theory of ether, which was perhaps prematurely discarded...
 
Stop press. I tried the new STB Gold (Black version) on the power cables going to the Kii speakers. These cables already have about a dozen layers of high potency STB and earlier mixtures. I painted another layer of STB B/Gold, but only 8 inches along the cable, starting from the speaker terminal.

i have to honestly tell you, this is the most important discovery in the history of audio sound reproduction (apart from electricity). The addition of the "B" component has created something truly stupendous, and I'm certain it will change audio forever. I'm not kidding. I wouldn't do that to fellow G45 cranks.

I have no idea how it did it, but the 8 inches of paint on the already highly treated cable, gave a larger improvement than all other treatments combined. I played the Who "My Generation" which I have played 1,000 times before. It was totally, completely new and incredible. I heard sound quality just now that no-one has ever heard. My visiting niece is also in full agreement, that it is just crazy. And truly wonderful.
 
The historic "First Jar" of STB Black Serum, and the coffee that helped discover it. (Note it's not gold at all. I ran out of rutile, but that didn't matter, as I used other mica varieties instead with no problem). This STB serum will definitely change the audio world for the better. I have no idea how that will happen, but there is no doubt.
