Another new sound system

There's always that danger. It would be difficult even for the Graphene Institute to unravel the mysteries of STB Black. Because there are redundant materials included. Not inactive materials, they all work. But where two possible materials can be used, I use both. In STB Black there are at least 8 redundant materials as well as 10 essential ingredients, so patenting it would be a nightmare without the recipe.

Definitely something to be considered though. My attitude from the beginning has been to get STB out to the world. I don't have to make money out of it. But I guess I don't want someone to just purloin it either. It's so seriously great at this stage, that my thinking has to change I guess.

You probably don't know, but I have a sister. As well as enjoying everything I like ('60s garage and beat, etc.) she likes the most appalling classic rock, including the unmentionable PF, FM, LZ and all the others. So I have already heard all of them. It's actually unbelieveable hearing them with the Black & Gold Wands. It doesn't make the music any better, but it's awesome. Like watching a nuclear accident.
 
I'm a bit worried that the recipients of the Sample Packs will be expecting too much and may be disappointed, after all my raving. Please remember I am using 200-300 times as much SBT as contained in the sample packs. Twice as much gives twice the improvement, three times as much gives three times as much improvement...and so on. Maybe the curve is not quite that linear. I suppose it depends on your concept of "improvement". Once you get to near reality, then any further incremental gains are quite amazing, as reality-flashes then become more frequent.

The batch I mixed up today for the Graphene Institute is the best yet. I used many redundant ingredients and a good dash of the "B" component. It seems to work better with the redundancy.
 
There seems to be some kind of horrible postal delay between Australia and the USA. A couple of ingredients I ordered from the USA (crystal varieties) were returned to the sender, and now I have to wait up to 6 weeks to get them via a slower alternative method.

That could mean delays for the delivery of the sample packs I sent to forum members. I have checked and they have not even left Australia yet! But the sample pack I sent on the same day to Singapore for First Graphene arrived days ago.

The problem is all Australia's fault. Apparently we are so crippled by Covid fever that we can't even deliver or accept packages anymore. :screwy:Along with Afghanistan, Libya and Syria.

It seems the problem is the lack of passenger flights to Australia, which I suppose isn't entirely Australia's fault as the USA also closed its borders to passengers. The US border may be technically open now, but I imagine there are strict requirements for visitors which would put many off, even if Australia's borders were open. I don't think it would affect parcels sent via courier though, like DHL or Fedex, as they have dedicated aircraft.
 
I have developed the strongest STB "product" yet. It is a single layer tape, with a very large "B" component and rutile re-introduced as new stocks have arrived. Ths tape is sensational when used on the breaker box. I am going to replace all the standard STB Black that I have currently placed on the board. I'll have to call this new tape STB Platinum. I'm doubling and tripling down on everything I have said in this thread. None of it is an exaggeration.

Also - sonic improvement with STB seems like it can go to infinity.
Also - STB Platinum works equally well on digital and analog cables, especially the connectors. Especially the digital cables involved in streaming from a modem/laptop. Unbelievable how much is lost without STB.

For everyone who requested sample packs, if you like using the STB you receive, I will send you updated product including Platinum if you ask. Platinum is GREAT for cables because it's extremely thin and flexible, and because it has only one (super powerful) layer, the most powerful STB mix sits right on the target equipment (separated only by the very thin fabric tape).

I discoverd today that the "B" component is non-hazardous, according to the ThermoFischer Scientific Safety data sheet. That means ALL ingredients in STB products are rated non-hazardous.
 
" It prioritises... the import of medical supplies, equipment and other goods of national importance."

Then why did they stop my STB crystal mix ingredient shipments? What could be more important?
 
It doesn't make sense, unless cargo that used to go with passenger planes has been redirected to DHL, TNT and Fedex aircraft. Maybe that's what's happening. Next time have them mark it "urgent medical supplies". Justifiable for "peace of mind".
 
Please don't throw out the old SBT / STB!
No I won't. There'll be plenty of STB manufactured once the "B" component arrives, hopefully in about 3 weeks (there is some kind of Chinese holiday at the moment, for 10 days).

New discoveries happening here by the minute. I have another very interesting acedote, which I will relate in an hour or two. It's pretty amazing.
 
Today I decided to re-organize the breaker box STB installation, because it was so complex with multiple wands, tape, hanging sheets and other devices painted with STB. I thought things were getting a bit hazardous, due to the quantity and variety of STB items. So I stripped everything off, intending to replace the STB with a more orderly installation of tape and wands, using a lot of the latest STB Platinum tape. Here's what it looks like stripped back. Notice there is a breaker box with the yellow flip-switches, and also 4 other boxes which house the dimmers and automation relays for the entire house. Pieces of whte TFT can still be seen on the Dimmer box. They are hard to remove, but I'll do that soon.

When I pulled off all the STB tape, I temporarily stuck the pieces on the door of the dimmer box to the left of the main breaker switch box. I just needed somewhere to put them, because I intend to swap them over for Platinum SBT. Here is what the inside of the doors to the dimmer box looked like after this step. The doors are removeable.

Having successfully removed all of the wands, sheets and tape, I decided to listen to the Kii speakers, to hear how bad they sounded with all the STB removed from that location. The doors covered with the old tape were still in place on the dimmer box (I removed the doors later). To my shock the sound was WAY better without any STB stuck on the breaker box, and with the wands removed and un-plugged!!! The Black Wand is still active behind the stereo.

So... I removed the doors from the dimmer box, as shown above.

The sound went to hell. Actually it was still awesome, but hell in comparison to what I had just heard.

Then I put the doors back on the dimmer box. Sound went back to incredible.

That's as far as I have got at this stage. It seems that you can get beyond Standard & Gold Wand-level sound without using any wands on the BREAKER box, just by putting the tape close to the DIMMER box, not the BREAKER box. My next step is going to be treating all 5 boxes, and putting the wands back. I'm expecting something no-one can even imagine what that's done. The tape used on the DIMMER box doors is older model, and does not even contain the "B" component.
 
STP is some kind of high performance oil additive. Maybe SBP?

I notice you're modem is almost entirely encased in SBT, boss. Surely that would severely curtail the wi-fi signal, which the music streamer would depend on?

No it's not STB tape, it's STB paint, painted directly onto the modem. It's insane. If this were the only use for STB, it would still be revolutionary. I "scumbled" it on in several coats, so that none of the perforations in the modem casing were blocked. Well, maybe a few, but I can use a pin to unblock them later. There have been no problems, only huge benefits.

So just putting some of the treated tape on the inside cover of the breaker box could improve the sound quality? I am just trying to imagine the easiest way your average hickoid could do some of the amazing stuff you are doing there. A lot of the things you are doing otherwise sound a bit complicated and time consuming (time well spent, no doubt, but maybe not what everybody is prepared to do)

Yes - it's amazing on the inside cover of the breaker box. Note however that I have used quite a lot. Although I haven't tested smaller quantities, I would be pretty sure that you'd get more bang for buck in other locations, such as the AC wall outlet and main power cables for the stereo, or directly on the breaker box near the flip switches, or on the modem, or the modem/laptop connectors. That's if you only had a limited quantity of STB tape.

If your house has a dimmer box like mine (I have 4 dimmer boxes, I've treated one so far), that is the ultimate best place for large-scale STB treatment. The dimmer box is wrecking sound quality much more than the breaker box in my house.
