RE: Does this correlate with what you hear?

I completely disagree.

It has been stated numerous times that this tweak is based on absorption and dissipation of emitted radiation by the crystals. It has also been stated that this can be measured using a Greenlee handheld meter that is sensitive in the range of 50 - 500Hz. I had a means to measure and verify that absorption objectively before I went sticking crystals into my equipment, so I did it. I did not find any effect in the range of frequencies tested.

I have not tried the crystals in my equipment at this point. Nowhere did I state that there was or wasn't a sonic benefit or "dismiss" the tweak, I simply did an experiment to measure whether they did anything measurable within the range of the equipment I have available. They did not.

Perhaps they have an effect at higher frequencies - I don't know, but I'd like to see someone make a measurement and report the findings, and I certainly wouldn't attack him or call him "backwards" for doing it.
