RE: One wonders if a small Lead/Acid battery would do

Posted by Steve Eddy on December 28, 2010 at 09:27:08:
better or worse for than the 9 volt?

Why?

What's the difference between the negative terminal of a battery and say, the tip of your nose?

The negative terminal of a battery has no particular relevance to anything beyond the positive terminal of the battery. Which in this case is out of the picture.

I had good results with the Ric Schutlz version of the "wire hanign off the ground post". I was very pleased and mystified by the result.

Have you tried placing photographs of yourself in your freezer? That's purported to bring about significant improvements in the sound of your system as well. In fact, it brings about a significant improvement in the sound of any every other system you listen to.

And it's cheaper than a battery.

Have you tried this yet?

First one observes, then they try to figure out what is happening.

Yes, and in trying to figure out what is happening, one must consider all of the possibilities. And among the possibilities here is that there's nothing going on beyond the mind of the listener. And until that possibility is adequately controlled for and ruled out, then speculating about batteries being better than wires or 12 volt batteries being better than 9 volt batteries gets one nowhere in terms of knowledge and understanding.
