orgonite :-)

right, just a little quasi-scientific experiment if anyones up for it.

this kinda enters the realm of metacoustics (or conspiracy nonsense you decide), either way what i ask is that people make some orgonite (google it) basically combine a quartz crystal with metal shavings (aluminium, copper e.t.c available from scrap metal places free/cheap) then pour some fibreglass resin over the mix in some kind of mold. (muffin tin sized).

your currently thinking that this isnt really relevant on a speaker forum, and this is what im trying to test.

ok so now you've (probably not) made some orgonite . Now spend a reasonable ammount of time listening to your home stereo (if you dont already do so) so you remind yourself how it sounds.

Now place the orgonite on top of your speakers (+ sub if applicable).

comments please

i know this sounds random but try it, i posted it here as its a reasonably techie forum with people who are both likely to listen to music a lot and have 'good ears' and also immediately denounce anything with a less that grounded theory behind it regarding acoustics.

having just tried a a/b comparison again i hope i dont have to conclude that its me tripping

i will also post this on some orgonite boards and would expect a unanimous, 'oh its great' response i reackon people on here will be a little more objective on the subject.

lol

it could be a case of it being snake oil, i do reccomend you try it however, its cheap not that time consuming and potentially makes stuff sound cooler in a wierd way. if you think it doesnt after trying it you could always lob the orgonite at cellphone towers which im sure you have plenty of wherever you are (if youv'e checked it out on the internet you'll know what i mean) or alternatively put it next to a plant, it'll love it.

If your really not convinced with the idea of trying it out for yourself can you think of any reason that a non magnetic lump of resin, aluminium and a bit of quartz might make my speakers sound different ?

any bored/inquisitive minds out there up for trying this ?

its funny that 300 years after we purge the gene pool of "witches" and people with a knowledge of power we are desperetly trying to relearn the old ways.

all praise the witch finder general.

just see the 'GSIC' chip which magically makes your CDs better. By some quantum physics mechanism that isnt taken to be scientific. But its made a huge controversy,which means more potential sales

People can use the placebo affect on themselves,duno how well it works if you know,get some one to do it on you

Ive come to the conclusion that some people dont like reality,and attack the least offendors of distortion because then it will never stop,the evil cycle of imagined improvements. Make it popular so its not cool to have directivity matched system. In other words audiophilia is of the devil.

People on decware.com are happy with a valve amp and a fullranger !

Question - if you were to use a massively oversize chunk of cable on a very small output, is it possible for some of the signal to get 'lost' in all that copper?

Imagine an extreme of 1v getting pumped into one end of a solid cylinder of copper that was 10metres in diameter and 10metres long.  then do the same with a 10metre long piece of 1mm diameter copper.

Does the same signal still get received at the other end?
