I don't know

so I have no postulate. I do know that the negative ions sound better, though: more of a sense of silence and greater dynamics and detail.

Of course in dealing with negative ions we are essentially dealing with electrons, a subatomic particle. I believe we are actually working with an electron surplus and not an ionized molecule like say OH-. Many so called ionizing machines work by generating ozone (O3-, but that has a rather distinctive smell which I do not detect with the tourmaline gear.

Since electricity works by the transfer of electrons... It may be a very far fetched postulate, but it may be that a surplus of electrons could actually be reducing the 1/f noise, so commonly found in electronic gear and circuits. I do believe we have not thoroughly explored the importance of ground circuits in most electronic design.

Of course, YMMV

S6tu

The Bybee purifiers claim to work upon that principle: a lowering of the 1/f noise, and in my experience they work extremely well. The tourmaline/negative ion devices do not work quite as well as the Bybee devices in my experience, but they do create a similar effect, just lower in amplitude.
