In Reply to: RE: "I don't have the foggiest concept of placement or connection of a Jar of Rocks." posted by geoffkait on January 31, 2009 at 04:49:37:
do enlighten us with a primer on the correct placement and configuration of a jar of rocks. Surely years of empirical evidence has steered you to what you believe provides the optimum arrangement. Where does one start?
Perhaps you might use my main system and room as an illustration. You'll find that I'm certainly not tweak averse. You'll find high tension hospital grade outlets (which ensure the power cords don't pull themselves out), DIY versions of the VPI Brick (which are placed directly on top of the power trannies on the VTL amps), bass traps (which took days of experimentation in order to arrive at the best placement) and ceramic cable insulators (which are quite intuitive to place). How many jars do I need? Where do I put them?
You'll note I'm not asking for explaining their mechanism - I'm simply asking what advice you would give folks in order to maximize their enjoyment of such a product.
And, apparently since you're *fast* enough to determine that I'm slow, then kindly answer the question I advanced. We've got a system, jar(s) of rocks, a listener and lab assistant(s). What is the procedure for shielding the assistant(s) from knowing whether or not they've placed the jars *in the system* or "out of the system" without themselves knowing that answer? I'm all ears.
