Dave, if I recall from previous posts just about any topaz will do, just don't get them too small or too big. I believe Paul A has some posts from a few years ago w/ pics. That said, the consensus from those prior threads was that tourmaline was a much better choice than topaz or quartz. It's slightly more expensive but not much. Ignore the ignorant posts. How in the world someone can claim they're right in the name of science and common sense without actually testing something FIRST (the *method* part of the scientific method) for themselves is beyond me. The reasons as how some of these crystals affect components has been well covered and from personal experience w/ tourmaline (especially near a hot object like toroids or chips) the effect is unmistakable. Whether it sounds better will be up to you. But the difference is clear.With jokers like those it's amazing we discovered fire.
