Sduibek, you mentioned getting the thread closed through a purposely against the rules post. Well, the surest way to do that is to start posting personal attacks... Unfortunately, the insignificant little chunk of granite that passes for your gray matter obviously isn't capable of comprehending a matter of such enourmous complexity. Your repeated nonsensical postings in this thread have reflected so badly upon both your critical thinking skills and broccoli-eating ability that you've disgraced your family name for generations to come. I daresay that I wouldn't trust you to review a single brass-cone foot, much less trust your ability to think on these levels. So please, refrain from posting your idiotic, base, pointless, ill-thought, closeminded, cruel, greedy, self-serving, kleptomaniac, stupid, slow, short slothful, bimbo, sewersucking, belligerent, toadly, derelict, miserable, dirty, and ill-concieved notions in this thread. Can someone report me to a moderator?

You don't think it's a bit absurb that this thread has gone beyond a post count of 400 just talking about some foil, a system tweak that may or may not be anything but placebo? It's like having a 450-post arguement over interconnects. After the first 100 posts or so, I really doubt you're getting anywhere.

When I frst started reading this thread, I thought the anger, seriousness, zealotism, etc. was all light-hearted and in good fun.

But seeing really close-minded and annoying posts (not refering to any one user in particular) for, what is it now, 20 pages? Gets really really really old.

Let's hope you were joking

PS: No wonder Pinkie has 1900 posts. (just kidding

It depends on where you class the boundaries of your "sound system" to be?

Moving a chair in your listening room will make no difference to the sound quality?

Hanging a rug on the wall won't dampen a bright sound?

Placing furniture at funky angles won't help to disperse standing waves?

Your mere presence in the room doesn't affect the sound waves?

Anechoic chambers are snake oil?

What do you mean by "unrelated to the sound system "? the listening room is part of the sound system and even removing a couple of books from a bookshelf can alter the sound (talking about a loudspeaker system rather than a headphone set up here) how can you be so sure that sticking foil on your armchair won't make a difference?

A bass note is the length of a football pitch, most listening rooms are the length of a ping pong table, to avoid standing waves the room has to be able to disperse the bass note and this is achieved by careful placement of furniture / fixings to avoid boom (the bass note meeting itself on the return path causing a standing wave) there are a lot of people who don't realise that the listening room makes up 80% of the "sound quality" we all read about but very rarely achieve.

I'm sorry if your "intelligence" has been insulted at the mere thought of trying a free sample of rainbow foil John but I am even more worried that you may not realise that "unrelated" furniture plays a very important part in your listening experience.......Optimising your system with cables and power conditioners is only the beginning..... you also have to optimise your listening room and yourself.

So there's a limit to a post now is there? interesting or not you believe that after 100 posts you're "getting nowhere" I tend to disagree with that Sduibek.


This post is "just" starting to get interesting and, if your 100 post cut off point had been implemented, we wouldn't have got this far into the debate. So what if it's 50 pages long? 100 pages long? 2 million pages long? it shows that people are interested in the debate..... what is this fascination with nipping everything in the bud before it's allowed to blossom?

If you don't like the thread or have nothing to contribute other than "close it down" then don't look at it? are you being forced to look at it?? If it's tiring to you then don't click on "rainbow foil initial impressions" seems logical to me.

The subject matter of this thread cannot be "done and dusted" in a few days due to the nature of it. There are many head-fiers who are awaiting samples, others who are waiting for the mockers and ridiculers to get fed up with posting before posting their true informed findings and there is no "reason" to shut this down is there?

Pinkie, the real question is when are you going to write your review for the 'reviews' subform of the tweaks forum?

I'd like to see it wedged between a Cardas cable and PS audio conditioner review.

hahahahaha

I will not be writing a review at this juncture tomek as I'd rather investigate and experience the PWB philosophy further to get to grips with it and understand it better first.

Did you get around to experimenting with the Rainbow foil Tomek?

 

[marios_mar]

Pink I (and many others I believe) missed lots of pages of this thread. Could you please try and summarize all the important points and conclusions (if there were any that is) in one paragraph?

 

[Steve999]

LOL. A request worthy of a Ph.D. dissertation. Read the whole thing, it's first-class entertainment.

Wait, I just discovered another great tweek! I swear by it.

Place an ash tray on the left corner of your home CD deck. Start smoking a Cuban cigar (please note, the cigar has to be Cuban). 8 minutes into smoking the cigar, put the ash into the ash tray. Then hit play on your CD player.

I tell you, it's a totally life changing experience. All my CDs sound so much better.

Marios, as Steve999 suggests, it is well worth spending several hours reading the whole thing with an open mind in order to appreciate just what rainbow foil is all about. It's about conditioning your listening environment and, more importantly, conditioning yourself to repel the negative energy that affects your perception of the sound. Very much along the lines of Feng Shui but instead of using frogs, water and symbolic ornaments Peter Belt uses Rainbow foil, morphic message foil and quantum clips.

All the best.

Listening to some rainbowed Santana ATM and thought I'd have a look around the PWB site.

This is a great read: http://www.belt.demon.co.uk/whatamess.html

The PWB group is fascinating with many new free tweaks coming in daily:

PinkFloyd learned from a thread I had opened that I needed a good quality 1/8 - 1/4 adaptor... and next day he has sent me one as a present.

A big THANK YOU, PinkFloyd!

Why the cloaked referal to another thread Greenhorn? I can't understand your mindset..... if you don't like me or have a problem with me then just say it........ maybe it's just a French thing? Maybe you're pissed because I didn't charge you and sent the adapter to help you out as a friendly gesture at no cost to you?

PM me if you've got any complaints / jealousy issues.

Well, if you really need it: I actually don't like you.

If you want back that adaptor, just say. I thanked you when you had sent it to me because it really was a nice gesture of yours.

It's only afterwards that I discovered some other sides of your character that made me dislike you.

BTW, I'm not French, so no use to throw mud to French people if you want to insult me.

I gathered that a while back, may I ask what offends you?

Don't be silly..... it's an adapter........ keep it and enjoy it

Thanks for coming out with it and putting my mind at ease greenhorn.... I appreciate your honesty, why didn't you just come out and say it originally instead of beating around the bushes posting links to all my "negative" threads? It would have saved a lot of hassle and uncertainty

I'm actually relieved that you have spoken the truth Greenhorn and have said what you think....... I respect you for coming out with it.

I haven't any intention of offending you or French people.

Sorry you don't like my manner but I can't cater for all tastes Greenhorn.......... I've got no problems with you whatsoever and will continue to read your posts if I may?
