Thanks for the info. I really wasn't trying to make fun. And now that you mention it, I do remember waaaaaay back as a kid, ads in comics for building your own working crystal radio - I think. And no, the new age thing wasn't part of my thoughts either,I just thought there had to be some kind of rationale behind using those items. As usual though, seeing all the things you referenced, I'm late to the table. Again, thanks for your post, but I will tell you this... if you guys start telling me that a crystal skull from South America, sitting on top of your speaker creates a better soundstage, I'm outta here.

for coming own hard on you. It, just, well. I've taken so much abuse from the use of crystals.
The funny thing is that I was demonstrating the effect to a customer I had never seen before and who had inquired about the "rocks" scattered on my gear.
He was intrigued that he could hear the effect and then confided that he taught at MIT and had done some research on the very same effect. His comment was that the percent change would probably measured by counting the number of zeros after the decimal point. He was shocked that he could hear the effect.
No no, I didn't get that from your post - no apologies needed, but thanks! I appreciated the background info. If an uninformed guy like me initially sees some pretty shiny rocks on top of amps, he/I just think, "hey, how come he put pretty shiny rocks on his amp?" So now I know! Dave
