Another new sound system

When do we get the spray on varietal?

Using it as a paint is a lot of fun. But the potential for expensive mistakes is very high.

 

[MopTopMike]

Move beyond the gemstone nomenclature - go Nova, or Nuclear.

Hey Marcus, Would you recommend putting p5m on the back (where the power cable goes in) of my cd player, my EQ, the crossover on my DJ system, reel to reel etc?

Yes. Use it anywhere that is close to power wiring and/or power connections. It will improve the SQ no matter what audio or household equipment you apply it to (as long as it's plugged in and turned on). You could put it on your frig power connectors and it would improve the sound of your stereo.

Here is a great way I use STB P2S. I wrap it around a standard power entension cord, making a portable state of the art power line conditioner, more effective than units costing tens of thousands of $$$. l plug it into the AC wall outlet directly before the one that feeds the stereo, or into the same wall outlet using a multi-way adapter. Plug equipment into it, or leave it un-used. It works either way.

what about headphones? Near the input on the amp?

what about headphones? Near the input on the amp?

Yes. Also underneath the chassis, at the back near the power inputs, and near the signal inputs / outputs is usually a very good place. Also neat and out of sight.

is the tape marked with p5m xxx the same as the tape with p5m?

 

[Frantic]

My new STB system is lovin' this one!!

 

[bosshoss]

is the tape marked with p5m xxx the same as the tape with p5m?

Anything marked "XXX" is the same, only with an extra layer of actve ingredient. They are experiments, basically. Sometimes the extra layer is good, sometimes it is just one layer too many and the mixture becomes inflexible or cracks.

since they are cut in small squares, do they have a special purpose?

 

[bosshoss]

You can use the small squares anywhere. They are exactly the same as the P5M strips, except cut into pieces. I would use them on amplifiers, pressed right up against the inputs and outputs at the back. Or on the breaker box, as close to the main breakers or as close to the ones used for the stereo as you can do with safety. Or one square on each un-used AC wall outlet in the room would be fantastic!

p2m??? did you mean p5m, p2s or possibly p2e, i didn't get a p2m.

 

[bosshoss]

p2m??? did you mean p5m, p2s or possibly p2e, i didn't get a p2m.

Yes - sorry I meant P2S. Confusion because it's also magnetic, but the "S" stands for "Sheet". I should have called it P2MS (magnetic sheet).

I can tell that would have great STB SQ. Because of the transients which STB loves.

Maybe the final version when the dust settles shoud be called STB Nuclear. Like the Sun.

My version sounds way better than the youtube version. Even without STB

 

[bosshoss]

Latest listening tests show :

STB Black Ruby is insanely incredible. I think it may as well be called Nuclear from now on, because I really don't think it can be improved from here. I've stripped it back to all the most powerful components, and no more can be used without the mixture disintegrating.

Here is a performance chart. The longer the line, the better the sound quality using the same quantity.

STB NUCLEAR

STB Nuclear is different from all the others, because it is so smooth in the high and mid frequencies. And so powerful at the same time.
The only thing I don't know, is how it would sound if STB Nuclear was the ONLY treatment I had in the entire house. Obviously that will take time to ascertain, because I have 36 Strange Matter Platinum and Diamond bricks installed in the garage, and many other non-Nuclear treatments elsewhere, including covering nearly ALL the cables

 

[bosshoss]

And....STB Nuclear COMPLETELY gets rid of the superiority of Night over Daytime listening. There's still a difference, but both are equally fantastic,

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

You have exceeded my benchmark, Mark. Congratulations!

 

[bosshoss]

After more listening tests ...the graph above is not an exaggeration. If anything, it underestimates the relative power of STB Nuclear.
