Future of cables!

Geoff I am not enough intelligent to guess when you are serious, dismissive, ironic, sceptic or believer, or experimented and knowledgeable.... Help me... :)

DYODD. That’s what I did. Geoff was the first to take me to task back when I began posting here. His very first comment seemed like it was merely a misunderstanding. That he had misunderstood the science. Which education being what it is these days happens all the time. With his second response however it was immediately apparent he really does know nothing- and it must be something else.

Key points: immediately apparent, he really does know nothing- AND it must be something else.

Immediately apparent is hard to explain. Easiest way is like this. Think of some subject you personally in your life know really well. You know it inside and out. Whatever it is does not matter. Point is, when you know something like the back of your hand no one can BS you. You spot the BS immediately. Its that way with me and science. Read through my posts. First real book I read was Red Giants and White Dwarfs by NASA scientist Robert Jastrow. This was in grade school. I learned how stars form and evolve and understood the material in grade school.

Folks, I read this book for pleasure. For the pleasure of learning.

Even so, just to be sure, DYODD. So I do a search. In no time flat it turns up machinadynamica.com which in a few minutes convinces me. This site is the biggest mess of word salad I’ve ever seen. This is not the product of a rational mind. Unless.... further research turns up a hit on a guy who posted about meeting Geoff at a show. Says Geoff is just poking fun at audiophiles and their silly willingness to believe in all kinds of BS.

Well he claims to be a theoretical physicist. For sure he loves the jargon. But the gulph between being able to type a word and knowing its meaning is wide indeed. Geoff is standing on one side of the Grand Canyon. I would need a telescope or maybe even a satellite to make him out from where I am standing. Or anyone, for that matter, with what used to be considered a high school education.

So, about that rational mind. If you assume Geoff is here for the same reason we are, to learn how to achieve and appreciate quality music reproduction, then he is frustrating and enigmatic and seems totally irrational. If however we grant the story of the one guy who actually claims to have met him, that he enjoys tweaking and triggering and making fun of us, well then he is behaving beautifully rationally.

You asked for help understanding Geoff. So there you go.

As I understand it, Litz construction would already address this issue, so I don't think we would get more expensive than that.

Interesting as WBT and others have been drawn to minimum conductive mass connectors.

Tourmaline is a negative ion generator among other things

To generate ions tourmaline must be excited and compressed(piezo effect) and on top of my Schumann Generator I dont think that the pression, if there is any, is able to generates ions...Also shungite is not like tourmaline capable of some piezo electrical effect, it is not a crystal...But shungite like tourmaline on top of a Schumann generator filter the noise also, with his own different "signature" tough ... And on a central breaker panel tourmaline+shungite filter the noise also.... No piezo effect explain that....

You need to expand your Google search, grasshopper. Tourmaline is pyroelectric.

“The first reference to the pyroelectric effect is found in writings by Theophrastus(c. 314 BC), who noted that lyngourion, tourmaline, could attract sawdust or bits of straw when heated.[9] Tourmaline’s properties were rediscovered in 1707 by Johann Georg Schmidt, who noted that the stone attracted only hot ashes, not cold ones.[10] In 1717 Louis Lemery noticed, as Schmidt had, that small scraps of non-conducting material were first attracted to tourmaline, but then repelled by it once they contacted the stone.[11] In 1747 Linnaeus first related the phenomenon to electricity (he called tourmaline Lapidem Electricum, "the electric stone"),[12]although this was not proven until 1756 by Franz Ulrich Theodor Aepinus.[13][citation needed]

Research into pyroelectricity became more sophisticated in the 19th century. In 1824 Sir David Brewster gave the effect the name it has today.[14] Both William Thomson in 1878[15] and Woldemar Voigt in 1897[16] helped develop a theory for the processes behind pyroelectricity. Pierre Curie and his brother, Jacques Curie, studied pyroelectricity in the 1880s, leading to their discovery of some of the mechanisms behind piezoelectricity.[citation needed]”

The pyroelectrical effect and piezo effect of tourmaline are linked because it is a crystal.... Shungite also work the same in an electrical grid, filtering the noise spectrum, like tourmaline and it is not a crystal, then no piezo effect neither pyroelectric effect can explain the shungite working effect...

I dont negate the fact that piezo and pyro effect plays a role with tourmaline or other crystals,i suggest that this cannot explain the shungite case nor the lava beads case for example....
Do you know by the way how powerful lava beads are in an electrical grid?
No piezo effect can explain the working effects of lava beads either....
Do you understand my point cicada? :)


My point is there is other explanation than these piezo and pyro effect, because many stones are not crystals....


On the external electrical cable of my house I use riverbed stones to clean the grid....Because it is cheap cost.... It work less optimally than with tourmaline or shungite but it work at low cost... No piezo or pyro effect explain the fact that this is working....you got my point at last?
