What is ERS Paper?

[M0T0XGUY]

I've (tried) to read through the huge thread about ERS Paper, but I still don't have a clear idea about what it is. Just from observations it seems as though it's some sort of insulator, but I'm probably mistaken. Anyways, if anyone could clarify this for me, that would be great.

what if someone wipes their ass with ers paper? will there be benefits??

 

[Claus-DK]

I think it a bit coarse for that use, your'll have to ask patrick that question..

 

[cotdt]

no one has yet to give an explanation as to how this thing works.

In simplest terms, it reduces electrical interference.

SCAM. That is the simplest word to describe ERS paper.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The measurements show that nongrounded shielding works wonders:

It's shielding, but it also seems to be doing something else. It changes the frequency response. I'm not sure what exactly it's doing, or how it's doing it.

Replicate the results and present it to a scientific community. I wonder how ERS paper will be received.

It's a fact that Carbon Fiber reduces EMI. You can buy a panel made from Carbon Fiber but how can you fit that inside the chassis? So instead you put small pieces of Carbon Fibers into a cloth which can be bent and easily cut. The end result is ERS Paper.

The components inside the chassis generate EMI by themselves which interferes with another component inside the same chassis. It's going to reduce the performance of the system.

/me waits for Welly Wu to bite back...

Sure I can do that in a couple weeks. What about this is so hard to beleive though? It's true that nobody knows exactly how it works but we do know that shielding reduces noise and changes the sound signature to some degree.

 

[Patrick82]

Why do they have shielded interconnects if it doesn't affect the sound? It's pretty obvious that everything else that carry an electric signal need to be shielded too. What is inside the chassis? Circuit board or magic?

I think some paper pulp mixed with metal dust/splinters (copper or aluminium) would be a waaaaay less expensive ERS paper, possibly better.

Putting a sheet of ERS Paper outside the aluminum casing still improves the sound...
