Another new sound system

I'll send you enough STB P5E (Elastoplast) and P5M (Magnetic) to do the entire breaker board like shown above, if you promise to do it and let us know how it sounds! :lol:

No need to do the inside cover door - it may have important safety info printed on it.
HOLY CRAP! You're the greatest! I promise to report back and let everyone know how great it is. Will it also cut my electric bills in half? :boggle::boggle::boggle:

Or if you think it's bad or not much good, say so. I don't think that's likely, but you never know. I don't know if it saves electricity. Maybe it will...
 
A good friend of mine came over to visit tonight. He was completely blown away by the sound. Apart from my sister, niece and nephew, he's the first person to hear my full STB system. A good party trick is to play some music that sounds completely incredible, then get out a pot of STB paint and a paintbrush, and brush on another layer onto the tape. Then play the same track again.
 
Might a solar / battery array preclude certain interference concerns ?

An interesting introductory level article here:

Hi Soundog. :smyle:

Everything in the article you linked is sensible and true.
However with STB we have entered the realm of the unbelievable but true. Normal electrical engineer stuff does not always apply in this dimension.
At this stage, I don't believe EMI necessarily needs to find a way to ground. I think it can be neutralized on the spot by miniature STB chemical EMI disposal factories, operating at the molecular level and placed in the right positions. Each STB factory needs to have the right composition so that it can convert the EMI to current via the piezoelectric effect, then dispose of the current with the speed of a superconduting capacitor. Once the current is discharged into the matrix with the aid of a different superconducting ingredient, it's then converted to heat utilising the whiplash action of long polymer (PVA) chains striking mica plates. Once converted to heat, there's no need to drain it to ground. But it has to be able to do the conversion very quickly and efficiently. Billions of times per second I imagine. Each crystal particle and mica particle in STB is doing this continuously at the particular resonant frequency of the crystal, and there's a lot of different crystal types and mica in STB.

I have no idea where the EMI comes from. It may have multiple sources including local ones. The hour of the day has an effect, but the STB does not eliminate that negative hour-dependent effect. It provides an unrelated positive effect to ameliorate it, but it doesn't eliminate it. Therefore the STB is offering a benefit that is not dependent on the grid, so I doubt that any kind of battery would duplicate the effect of the STB. A battery may have a very complementary effect, however. If a battery were able to negate the 6PM effect, then STB+battery would equal perfection at all hours of the day.
 
I applied a 12 inch strip of Hi-B STB P5M to the side of one of the dimmer boxes. This is the same batch of P5M that will be sent out in the next sample packs. When stuck very near the dimmer or breaker switches, P5M is nothing short of godhead. Rolling Stones Chess reordings again, they are my reference for now.

Also today I ordered a huge roll (100 metres long x 315mm wide x .4mm thick) of magnetic sheeting, the same material I'm using for P5M. It's thinner, but it will be thick enough once it gets 5 coats of STB Platinum. I'll be able to lay out maybe 5 metres at a time on the balcony on a dropsheet, and paint the STB mix onto the magnetic sheeting. The adhesive is much better than Elastoplast, and the magnetic base will be a huge benefit compared to Elastoplast. I already know how great it as after the success of the P5M batch. The only thing it won't be good for is wrapping around thin cables. Still need the P5E for that. And obviously I will still make the P5M for critical narrow strips, with the thicker magnetic base for the ultimate field strength.

I will call the magnetic sheets P5S, so the total range will be

STB Platinum is the paint
P5M is the magnetic strip
P5E is the Elastoplast
P5S is the magnetic sheeting
 
I just cut a 25mm x 25mm tiny square of P5M, and placed it on the Marshall speaker near the on/off switch. The volume went up noticeably. I took it off and the volume went down again. Repeated many times, unmistakeable.

Then I took the 25mm piece and stuck it on the NBN internet connector box, on the back right next to where the incoming internet connecting cable is located. Well, you will just have to do that, if you stream music. Maybe even if you don't - that internet box could be spreading bad juju throughout the house. I'll go further later, of course, but in the meantime, it just confirms that STB can improve sound quality literally to infinity, with no end ever.
 
Well are you looking for something
That will deliver something for nothing
Well you'll be looking very hard
For a mighty long time
And I'll bet you give up and get back into line
Because you know
Satisfaction guaranteed
 
I used the remaining thin tape on my Bowers & Wilkins desktop speakers (2/5 on low voltage cables, 1/5 on digital cable, 2/5 on high voltage cable). The speakers started to become transparent, and music gained a little more clarity and punch. Estimated overall improvement 6%. Here is the formula which summarises the entire process described here and in various posts above:

Bowers & Wilkins ($800) + 1 mailer set of SBT Black (priceless) = $3,525.98. Total improvement is 340%.
 
Latest STB update. This one is freakin' ridiculous.

When the shipment arrived from China, I opened one of the bags of Component "B", and mixed the whole bag with water. I made 5 litres of "B" fluid, and I've been using the fluid in the latest STB mix over the last few days.

I have 2 large plastic jars (they used to contain self-raising flour, you know the kind, about 2 litres each ) and one honey-pot. They are filled with the "B" fluid. I took one jar into the breaker box closet, and placed it on the same stool that the graphene is on, with the lid still screwed on. Played a record I just played a few minutes earlier (Let It Bleed, not one I play often). Suddenly the Stones were THERE in the room. Because of the bottle of "B" fluid. Totally insane.

So I put the other bottle in as well. A bit more of the same improvement. Completely over the top now, beyond belief.

The jars are BY FAR the most incredible thing I have ever done to the system, including everything I already raved about up to now.
Component "B" is literally Audio Insanity. It's the total solution. It does the impossible, even just in a jar mixed with water.

What I can not understand is how bad the breaker boxes are destroying music. Until you hear it fixed, you don't even know what I'm talking about.


I will make a transfer, right now and post it here. Surely some of it will be audible.

More experiments reveal that the jars give different kinds of improvements when placed in different positions. All good. But obviously I want ALL of those improvements, not just one of them.

What it shows however, is that there is still lots of room for improvement. by adding more STB in the right places. Which I already knew because I am now truly convinced that there is no limit to the power of STB.
The Jars are not the answer of course, they are too unwieldly. Besides, that huge amount of "B" would be better used on tape or on several wands. But the Jar at the moment is far more powerful than the Black Wand. No contest. I wonder what would happen if I wrapped a coil around the Jar and plugged it into the AC....??? :yikes: OMG, I don't even dare to think...
 
I used Izotope to maximize the volume without compression or maximization or any other discernable artifact. The waveform is still precisely intact, relatively speaking. It's about 1.5 dB louder than it would be without the processing.

You need 1.2 to 1.3 dB increase to equalise the Moon FLACS with the Krell FLACS.
 
I listened to music late into the night and found that the difference that the final accoutrement had made was greater when the electricity supply was cleaner. Improvement in the late evening was 8.8%. Focus and space were both increased, as was realism and poignancy. Decay was extended and accentuated. Total improvement over base now stands at 352%.

PS, After midnight it was 10%.

Daniel, you simply will not believe what Component "B" does, when mixed in a very high concentration. With this high concentration mix, you don't need much mixture, you just need the high concentration and a very light coating. But of course it's going onto STB that's already in place. Still, I know that the hi-B STB is something completely astounding. You just won't believe it. It is so great!!!

If the commercial audio world finds out about this, it will completely change the entire industry.

AND - recorded music is so beautiful, compared with what we currently know. Most of it - obviously there's some recordings that are just beyond help. But only a few that I have come across so far.

It's not all in the mind, but something is happening in the mind. because STB is not constant, it changes, sometimes for the better, sometimes not. But as I use more Hi-B, it gets better and better overall even though it retreats at times. But it always comes back, sometimes stronger than before. And it takes longer to lock in the "reality" of the soundstage, the better it gets. Sometimes it takes me more than a minute to hear the complexity (and beauty) of the soundstage, after sitting down. That never used to happen. It was 5 seconds before. But now, there is just so much there.
