Thinking about getting some C-13 carbon to experiment with. Uncle Stu had a couple of scientist friends, as I recall, who gave him some to experiment with. Walker Audio and Jack Bybee from what I hear, are or have been using it to good effect. Anyone here have any info or experience on its effects/uses or special handling that they would like to impart?

If you scroll down the list a bit, you'll find Carbon-13 (Amorphous).

Well it seems Kerosene/white spirit contains a lot of C13
Lotsa long chain carbon molecules in petroleum products. One out of every 100 or so carbon atoms will be C13 instead of C12. So, on a per mole basis, yes. However, I don't know how one could take advantage of that fact.
shungite?
Yessssss!
C13 carbon is about 1% of all carbon atoms on earth. Because it has weak magnetic properties, its presence in molecules containing carbon is useful in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance for determining the spectra of such compounds. I don't know of any other use for it, except also in carbon dating. I suppose it would be possible to create carbon compounds enriched for C13 carbon, but I would bet it's very costly to do that. What does it do in audio?

Unclestu posted a picture in one of his many posts, that showed a small container that contained C-13 that a chemist/biologist friend had given him, inside of an amplifier. Exactly where in the amp, I can't quite remember and he explained that it contained C-13 carbon, that was only after someone else had asked him what the "thing" was, as an aside, to what the poster was really interested in, which was also shown in that same photo. I hope what I'm saying makes some sense. Anyway, unclestu seemed to like what it was doing to the sound/presentation, but was a bit reluctant to go further, so it seemed at the time. I have searched the tweak asylum but, as of yet, have not found the picture or reference. I thought I'd check some out, if I can locate some and its not too costly.
Well, if pure C13 exists or not, or if it can be purchased or not, one gram of it will be present in about 100 grams of ordinary carbon. So, you could use a big lump of unrefined carbon in lieu of a small lump of "pure" C13. I'm a biologist myself, and there is no use for it in biology per se, except as mentioned in connection with NMR spectra and carbon dating.

check his 'blog' on his website on this matter...
C 13 is central to the "technology" employed in Bybee's Room Neutralizers which have been discussed recently on this forum, I believe.
