I couldn't find it anywhere so I thought I'd post it.



Edit: I am sure most of you have seen it before, but I thought this thread couldn't do without.

Your big pebble does look better though Patrick!

ERS Paper

I use ERS Paper to keep the RFI/EMI away from my equipment. I have most of that paper inside the chassis where it made the biggest improvements because of internal EMI from the components themselves. I had some extra paper left over so I put it outside too.

But maybe there isn't anything under that paper and I'm just imagining great sound. If someone comes and listens to my system he doesn't hear a thing...

1 sheet of ERS Paper makes a bigger difference than 1 bottle of Brilliant Pebbles, it's cheaper too.
When I tested with 2+ sheets of ERS outside the chassis it was difficult to hear the differences. But when I wrapped the power cable the difference was huge.

You are listening to the greatest sounds of all. True silence.

Brillant; And it's "Faith Based" too...

Although ugly, It's Superior promise of devine intervention, cannot be dismissed by those same old voices of the atheist, who simply have no belief in anything!

I believe I would suggest A/B DBT if it weren't disuaded by the higher powers here and above

You know I just now noticed that you have some holes in your ERS paper. Is that so you can access the power switches between listening sessions? Whatever the reason for them, I think that RFI/EMI is sneaking through those holes and having a negative impact on your sound. I suggest two solutions. Make a little flap sufficient to cover the hole and protect against interference from getting through the holes in your shield or, even better, turn all the power switches on, leave them on, and then wrap your entire system in another layer of paper.

But I would definitely do something if I were you. There's no telling how much RFI/EFI is sneaking in through there.

It takes 2 weeks to warm up my system so I need to keep everything on. In the first 2 days I can't listen to my system because it sounds too bright.

I have a hole for the DAC1 so I can switch between my computer and CD transport.
I have a hole for the amp and P300 Power Plant so I can see the front display.

I have covered the insides at the position of the holes so there shouldn't be a problem. The holes aren't facing the radio towers anyway. But the waves might reflect from my body, I need to get ERS Paper clothing.

I just searched and I cannot fathom that there have not yet been even one forum mention anywhere of teacup resonators. I would have bet that they'd have already been discussed, if not in this thread, then at least somewhere.

Uh Oh.. see what you've started. I'm sure we will be seeing him in ERS underwear on his myspace next.

Books are better?

Brilliant Pebbles didn't give fatigue at first but after 15 minutes I felt fatigue, the bottle is too light! It sounded too open and bright. Then I put the books back and the fatigue was gone, but everything sounded dull.
Now I put all the stones on top of the DAC1 and it sounds weird now, I'm hearing multiple sound signatures, the frequency response sounds messed up. The books sounded more flat and neutral, I'm not hearing any emphasis of frequencies with the books, but it sounds a little boring.

Placing stones on top of the DAC gave a similar sound signature as Solid-tech Feet of Silence, it colors the sound. But when using books it sounded like the neutral Magix, it also sounded like when going from stock power cord to Nordost Vishnu. It just made everything smoother without improving anything else.

Hear hear. Sometimes a dose of fun is good for the hobby.

I don't want to sound rude.

But does anyone else find ERS the equivalent of a tin foil hat?
