As I mentioned to dave ...this was a bit of a disappointment one of the smallest changes noted.....though oddly dave's system is maybe the lowest perceived value system with a tremendous performance... may be what dave has done has used up any performance "slack" . Though as its still not known how the unit operates who knows why ......
factors known to influence include air movement dave lives in an old cottage. The best results are from systems in rooms with minimal clutter...thing dave will agree his does not fall into this catagory [oh and I don't think the belt sander is a good idea in the living room ! ]

Earlier in the day I'd been to see Andy ....well talk about odd ..the blue light did the usual stuff ...what was really strange was that leaving the blue light on whilst we went to another room for a few minutes..when we returned to the recently decorated room there was a distinctive chemical/paint smell . As Andy had decorated a few weeks ago one would have thought that any smells would have dissipated. On my arrival there was no obvious smell either. Could the blue light have liberated trapped smells who knows ....definitely unusual and of course may have no connection whatso ever.

On tuesday I spent the afternoon with uncle Ants and his partner......The idea was to see if his partner [who has very sensitive hear] could tell if anything had changed.
Virtually from the first note after allowing the unit to "warm up" she was able to say what I was hearing [before we had discussed any possible effects]. On lp it was as if the back ground /groove noise had been removed " as if you were listening to cd". Improved bass and instrument separation were also commented upon. When the unit was switched off and left for a few minutes the sound became flat and less dynamic......within seconds of the unit being turned back on she said she could hear the sound change back.

Following this we set up a smoke test ie placing a single joss stick in a holder next to the unit .....with the unit off the laminar flow of the rising smoke lasted for about 8" above the burning point ...with the blue light on it averaged 24" ! this was repeated upward of ten times with identical results .......no, I have no explaination.

Can I ask the people who don't think this is possible or can't work, not to jump straight in and say it can't happen [with out being present] because it patently did.... as you will also be disrespecting people who don't deserve it.
