Another new sound system

To loosen the nano-tape, get a blow dryer and aim it (full heat) at the nano-tape behind the brick for about 15-20 seconds. If you can't direct the flow behind the brick, it's ok to heat the whole brick with the blow dryer until it's quite warm (not too hot). Then prize it off with your fingers or better still with a flat butter knife or chisel. Don't use a sharp knife, for safety sake.
For future reference, you can make the nanotape less sticky with a little talcum powder.
 
I earlier reported on the fact that my B&W speakers were running cooler after extensive STB treatment of the cables. I have now noticed the same thing has happened to my MacBook Air since it was heavily plastered in STB as pictured above. (I also wrapped the entire length of its power supply.) This reinforces my conjecture that STB is removing EMI from the electric current, and that clean electricity does not convert to heat as much as dirty electricity when passing through a resistance. With my laptop, the reduction in heat production is dramatic, and it is conceivable that the STB is conducting and dispersing the heat somehow, but this can't be the case for the speakers as I haven't adhered any STB to the speaker housing.

As heat is a major factor in the longevity of computers and hi-fi equipment, etc, STB could be marketed on its ability to extend serviceable life alone.
 
I should add to the above post that STB can also be marketed as saving your hearing from damage. Since treating my MacBook Air the cooling fan never turns on, whereas before it was running most of the time. The noise generated by the fan on some models of laptop can damage your hearing with prolonged exposure. The effect of STB on stereos also normally includes removal or reduction of listener fatigue when present, which may also preserve your hearing.
 
got the nuclear pack last week thanks!! I put some nuclear sheets by my breaker box, and the nuclear brick is right up against the power source on my receiver. I prob need to put some more time integrating into my setup, since my results have not been mind altering, I would say a 20% improvement in sound, the most noticeable improvement being eliminating a pesky undiagnosed buzz/hum.

I'd like to figure out a way to do a side by side A/B test to get a real feel. also kinda tough to max out volume in my current WFH setup right now, but I have to imagine the results improve more significantly at higher volume levels

Great to hear you have had some sonic improvements since installing the nuclear pack. I hope you have fun and lots of success with any further experimentation. Realistic volume levels are part of the complete STB experience. If the volume levels are too low (or too high), the sense of realism is diminsihed, I have found.

Nuclear STB is uncanny in the way it can bring out fine detail in almost any recording. Presumably it does that by lowering the noise floor. Either that, or it works in some extra-sensory capacity. I'm almost certain it does that to some degree.

Certainly lowering the noise floor. Maybe also by feeding the electronic components their full dose of electric current (due to less being converted to heat), thus enabling them to work at full capacity. Also, once you've treated a certain percentage of the system, reproductive accuracy reaches a level where the music resonates with the original recording session, and fidelity improves dramatically. Whether the sound waves are interacting through space-time, or whether it's an extrasensory phenomenon as you suggest, I cannot tell.
 
Nuclear STB can be compared to the polish on a crystal ball.
Imagine a chunk of glass, or crystal, roughly hacked into a rounded shape. Compare that to a lo-fi stereo system.
Imagine grinding that chunk into a nice smooth round crystal sphere, rounded to 1 percent tolerance. Compare that to mid-fi stereo.
Imagine a perfectly round sphere, smoothed to 1/1000 percent tolerance. Compare that to high end stereo. But it's still frosty on the surface,
Now imagine polishing the crystal ball to a high gloss. It's only 1/1005 percent tolerance, hardly any difference in overall roundness, but it's perfectly clear. That's massive nuclear STB.

Some might say there is only .0005 percent improvement. But now you can see the future, and the past. :sonny:
 
To most observers, this must look like a two-man competition to see who can win the nutcase award. However, once you've experienced massive STB coverage, you start to see the laws of physics enter the quantum realm; and I dare say, no one here has experienced it except Mark and I.
 
Today I added a 6th (very thick) Nuclear layer to the back of the seascape. It just keeps on doing its thing, just as if it was the first layer. I don't know how thick the paint must be on the back of the seascape, but I imagine it would be only about 3 or 4 mm, even after 6 thick coats. I suppose it will keep improving until it gets so thick that the board won't support it any more. Maybe that would happen after about 10 mm thickness.

The seascape is now by far the most powerful and important piece of the installation. I would rather give up all the nuclear bricks than the seascape.

I use certain tracks all the time to test the sound quality. After the 6th seascape coat, it's like someone came in and did a remix, pushing some channels up that weren't even there before. Sounds I completely never heard before at all, even after using the record as a test disc for more than a month. Now the new sounds are there out of nowhere, loud and clear.
 
No I'm still here. I've been very busy trying to finish the bunker re-vamp. It's a lot of work.

Today I had my electrician visit to try to fix the weird lighting problem that has plagued the entire house for many months. He kind of half-fixed it, and discovered the source of the problem which will be fixed soon with a replacement dimmer module. While he was here I got him to install 3 Nuclear bricks directly onto the incoming mains power cables, from the street. I also arranged to have him work a full day doing nothing but installing Nuclear bricks and sheets (and maybe paint) in vital and incredibly dangerous places. He will let me know when he's available, it should be soon. I found out the house has 3 phase power, 100 amps per phase. That's a lot and very lethal.

I have not yet auditioned the effect of the 3 Nuclear bricks, because I had to dismantle some of the Nuclear installation so he could work on the lighting problem. After dinner tonight I will re-install all the dismantled pieces, and hear the results of the 3 new bricks. They are pressed right up against all 3 mains cables, as soon as they enter the house from the street!

If there had been time, he could have installed many more bricks and sheets in the same area, which would have been incredible. But I think even the 3 bricks should be pretty mind-blowing. Naturally I'll report here.
 
--REPORT--

The effect of the 3 Nuclear bricks directly on the incoming mains cables is absolutely sensational. I can't even imagine what it would be like if there had been time to add many more (maybe 25!!) bricks in the same positions. Or if I had wrapped the mains cables directly with several layers of Nuclear STB.

I can only assure you that Nuclear STB is the real deal. It is the future, now. Listening to almost ANY (good) music, my jaw is on the floor most of the time. Because you're hearing real music, without the insidious distortion that kills it all. And no matter how far you think you may have taken STB, it's just the beginning. You have no idea. I would go so far as to say it alters the way the mind works, for the better.
 
Exciting news Mark! I assume you're still waiting on the SDS, or was it a failed experiment, as your above statement seems to imply? Did you remember to ask the sparky if the electricity meter was connected in parallel or in series? If in parallel, how does it measure electricity consumption? Does't most electricity passing through your house get returned anyway - apart from what gets converted to another form of energy?

A word to the wise: I know that Mark is not exaggerating in his latest reports, although I haven't been there to witnesses the more recent mods myself. I know because I have witnessed the previous improvements. Furthermore, I have observed miraculous improvements in my own sound systems. I have made even more tweaks to the B&W speakers reported on above, and the results are so phenomenal that they completely transcend any rational world experience. While the sound obviously isn't on a par with what the Kii Three was producing when I was last in the bunker, when you consider the starting points ($800 vs $25,000), then the transformation is more stupendous with the B&Ws. However, when I play sixties garage on them, I have never heard ANY sound system reproduce it so sweetly, so well balanced, and with so much body: not even the Kii Three when I last heard it.

I haven't received the SDS package yet. I'm still very hopeful that adding it to the mixture will improve the current Nuclear formula. I asked about the meter box, he said the full current does not pass through it. Which is not surprising since the full available current is 300 Amps. So it can't be connected in series.

The technician who reads the meter box was here last week. He was scathing in his assessment of the way the electric company judges the electric bill. He said they really have no idea how much electricity is used, they just have a formula to jack it up higher over time, no matter what you use. He said that with the smart meters they are able to drive past your house in a van and disconnect your electricity remotely if they feel like it. He was ranting and raving about the evils of his own company. I couldn't get him to leave.:crap:
 
That's funny, but what he says is true. Maybe you'll get a credit on your next bill! Interesting about the meter box as well, especially as we were able to get such solid improvements by treating it, despite it being on a minor side circuit; however, that means that treatment of the distribution board holds ENORMOUS potential for sonic improvement! You must be experiencing Plutonian fidelity from the 3 bricks already juxtaposed there! I hope the SDS arrives in time before the electrician returns for the final treatment. Either way, fidelity will be out of this galaxy when he does! :boggle:

You should see inside the distribution board. It is a work of art. I gasped when I saw the perfection of the massive heavyduty wiring laid out and the potential...next time he opens it I will take photos. There wasn't enough time yesterday as he was already booked on two other jobs, and the most important thing was to get the lights working again (unfortunately!). The 3 bricks were hastily added, but I got them in the right places. But they are still about 3 inches away from the mains wiring. If I could get them stuck on the wiring, or Nuclear Tape wrapped around the wiring, it would be unbelievable, considering what the 3 bricks already achieved just by being close.
