Another new sound system

Thinking about the EMI further, does "strange matter" shield the electric current from interference, purify the electric current, both, or something else altogether?
 
One suggestion:

APOLLO
strange matter

Apollo was the god of music (among other things). Other gods of music: INAURIA (Celtic). ZEUS being the god of thunder might also be suitable due to the improvement in bass.

That's the problem. No-one knows.
My best guess is that STB gathers EMI from the immediate environment, and kills it in situ. Other methods rely on draining the EMI to ground, but STB has the ability to immediately deal with it locally at a molecular level. This is definitely true, it's designed to do exactly that via the piezolectric effect.

I believe that draining to ground is hopelessly inefficient compared with local molecular elimination. For example there may be echos and reverbArations caused by the EMI current draining via ground wires. Even after it hits ground it could bounce back if the grounding is not absolutely perfect.

When I was using Synergistic Research Gallileo SX cables, they were grounded via their own dedicated grounding wires into an active grounding block. I was able to significantly increase their performance (not just a little!) by adding TFT (and/or fo.Q with graphene boost) to the grounding wires. If the grounding wires were doing their job properly, they wouldn't have needed the TFT.
 
I believe SBT must be purifying the current. Somehow draining away the interference. I say this because less than 1% of the electric wiring from the meter box to the Kii powerpoint has been treated; therefore shielding alone cannot explain the sound improvement. Unless you propose that there is a further 9900% improvement in fidelity to be had by covering the rest of the internal wiring. I also note that the SBT in the meter box is too far away for it to be shielding the entire system. I think most of the interference mush be generated by resistance points, and therefore be internally generated rather than radiated from outside. That is why, as you have pointed out, Mark, STB is most effective at those junctures: meter box, junction box, breaker box, power point, plugs, fuses.

Yep - definitely resistance points are the key. It works anywhere and everywhere that electrical current is flowing. Definitely works best at resistance points though. I do believe treating every inch of wire would keep giving additional improvements. I do not believe I am even close to hearing what the microphones heard. I will believe that the full potential has been reached only when I am actually in the recording studio. In other words, when it is easier to believe that I am there, than to believe I am in my own house. I have to believe it, completely. A long way to go before that is achieved.

The patent attorney has received the Sonic Elevator, and he is testing it. Problem is, his entire stereo cost US$200. It's a micro system... He says he can't notice a difference so far, but his son is asleep so he is playing the music at very low volume. Hopefully it will sound better when he can turn up the volume!

This just may force a Lipstick Killers reunion:yikes::yikes::yikes:
 
I now have 8 Sonic Elevators on the main distribution board in the garage. Each one that I added, made an incredible improvement to the sound. We know that it would have been multiple times better if I had been able to put them on the inside of these boards, touching the wires.

But even the way I have done it, the sound is much better than you heard, Daniel, and I don't have ANYTHING on the upstairs breaker/dimmer boxes, and NOTHING on the stereo wall outlets. Doing it this way, I don't have a lighting problem.

The "Signature" Sonic Elevators have the latest hi-B STB mixture. They are just a bit better than the normal ones. I wanted some way to tell them apart so I signed them.

I just put 3 SBT Strange Matter bricks on the meter box, directly on the side of the meter and it's associated junction box. It's amazing. The SQ went up yet again, sky high. I would say 50% higher than the night Daniel was here. It's hard to quantify. Impossible actually. But it has to be kept in mind that I removed everything from inside the house (except for a few small pieces that could not be easily removed). The Strange Matter is now only in the garage mains distribution board and in the meter box. But the SQ is far higher than when I had it all over the place. I'm hardly using any tape. The only place I find it REALLY needs to be stuck is on the unused wall sockets in the same room as the stereo. In my room, that gives a surprisingly massive improvement in addition to the bricks. But if I didn't have unlimited bricks, I would be using much more tape.

Like a broken record, I can only keep saying the STB effect seems to be infinite. The more bricks you use, the better the sound quality. It's sort of linear, too. Each one ups the quality as much as the last. Not really diminishing returns at all, yet. The first one might give you the most, but after that...pretty much linear.
 
Since I put the 3 bricks on the Meter box (and another 2 on the Mains board tonight!) the sound quality is SERIOUSLY NUTS! :boggle: I'm talking about 100% better than the night of Daniel's visit. Only Daniel could possibly know what that means.

To my mind, that means the recording mike is plugged directly into your cervical cortex :wtf::wtf::wtf::boggle::boggle::boggle:

That's it - I'm doing the 2.5 hour walk to your place!
 
I just listened to it again, after eating dinner. I lasted 30 seconds. I can't listen to it, it's JUST TOO CRAZY!
:boggle::boggle::boggle::wtf::wtf::wtf::boggle::boggle::boggle::flipped::flipped::flipped:

I can pick you up, if you seriously want to hear something unbelievable.
 
Daniel came over again yesterday, and we manufactured and installed MANY new STB strange matter bricks in the garage and in the meter box. There must be about 20 bricks total installed in those two places now. But that's all the STB installed anywhere in the house. There's practically nothing installed in the breaker boxes or stereo any more.

Last night's listening session was just amazing and awesome. The Strange Matter does not fully ignite immediately. It gives 60% of its power instantly upon installation, but I guess about 20% more over the next 6 hours while Daniel and I auditioned a variety of incredible sounding tracks. Then when I woke up this morning, it was 20% better again. Some tracks have what could be described as a "wall of air". Solid 3D sound.

I don't know if there is a limit, but if there is one, it's incredibly high.
 
The problem is that the sound steadily improves into the night regardless of what you do, so it's difficult to separate the effect of the bricks from the effect of the time of day. Although STB is clearly improving the sound, I won't be completely satisfied until Mark's achieved a formulation and application which narrows the difference between 6pm and midnight to 20% - that's just the technical side of me speaking, the audiophile side of me is very impressed with what Mark is achieving. The time-problem might never be solved without understanding exactly why the sound varies so much with time of day, and exactly how STB works.

It's always a lot of fun working on manufacturing strange matter products at the Bunker. Perhaps one day I'll get my Diploma of STB, or at least my own hazmat suit.
 
I feel quite comfortable speculating that 3 x strange matter bricks on the mains would give better result than this

The "thousand hour break-in" is a dead giveaway that the initial impact is not particularly incredible. I have 3 of their Pro Helix Plus units and a few of the tiny MC 0.5 ones as well so I know what to expect. They are quite good, but they don't improve after 1000 hours :nope: . These days I don't even bother plugging them in.
