Bengie was I kidding or what!
Laugh all you want ( healthy skepticism is the basis of the scientific process ) but how long ago were we saying the turntable had no effect on the sound, that wires were just wires and that all that measured the same must sound the same!
Try the thing and report back on how wrong I was. |
The crystal is $325
The improvement priceless!
It is glued to either the headshell or cart body ( visit Walker audio web site for more info ) |
Yea it's the old joke about fixing the pentagon computer buy hitting it with a rubber hammer, for hitting it $2 for knowing where $9998 |
Observation is the first step of the scientific process, having observed something you then form a hypothesis.
Listen first then speculate. |
Benjie if you didn't make the 8/18/13 post I apologize for the confusion |
Al thanks for clarification
Judyazblues : there are none so blind as those who will not see
Your skepticism is well placed, I know it sounds ridiculous but I can't deny what I'm hearing |
I put the post out to see if anyone else WHO HAD ACTUALLY TRIED THE THING heard what I did and it seems one other person has had a similar EXPERIENCE.
As I have repeatedly said skepticism [particularly in this case] is a good thing, but to dismiss, out of hand, with NO experience is nether helpful OR scientific. Again first observe then speculate. |
Still interested in seeing if anyone else has TRIED this remarkable tweak?
Are Benji and I the only ones with any experience with this thing? |
How can you know anything about weather or not something works without trying it first?
If you find that it DOES work you can then decide if the explanation offered is valid.
In this case it works so well I really don't care WHY it works. Try it yourself and tell us what YOU think, if you don't find it works send it back (within 30 days) and get your money back! (and tell us that too) |
As I've said before, this whole thing is so unbelievable that I just wanted to see if anyone else heard what I heard.
We can debate theory of operation I was just seeking out others experience |
cause of the perceived improvement would be the topic of the debate |
Benjie and Tawa
thank you for your OBSERVATIONS as this was the reason I started the post in the first place!
Benjie you are so right re the second crystal!!
All of what you noticed when adding the second crystal
[the black diamond turntable upgrade already had a crystal on the headshell bridge, this is replaced by the second black diamond crystal] is what I heard with the second [I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW IT DOES WHAT IT DOES BUY IT DOES DO IT!!!]
I'm afraid to even mention THIS but Lloyd recently sent me a room tuning kit composed of five copper pipe end caps [like from home depot] with a crystal glued to the inside bottom, they are put on your room walls and/or ceiling with blue tack and you get an expansion of imaging and soundstage that [IMHO] equals/surpasses five speaker surround sound! [I know, I know, pass me more Kool-Aid Jim Jones] |

all of what you suggest has been done with wife, children, and quests all who have no interest in high end audio and all have had to pick their respective jaws off the floor!
AGAIN the reason for the post in the first place was to see if anyone else [with whom I have no connection] has had a similar experience.
two and counting

Rauliruegas
the transformation I heard was a profound increase in soundstaging, definition, bass [deeper and more articulate] and detail resolution all of which [I would say] is because of an improvement in the extraction of what is in the grooves. It seems at least two others have heard similar results. |
Rauliruegas
I agree $400 is not a drop in the ocean but you will be hard pressed the find a greater improvement for the price or five times more, [the improvement is that dramatic]
I hope you get a chance to hear it for yourself. |

I would submit to you that the Walker cart. crystal changes are ANYTHING but subtle
profound and dramatic are more like it |
