There was mention made of Mr Belt in Martin's latest "Mad Scientist," post, and rather than derail that I thought I'd give the man his own thread. If you've forgotten some of the things he's tried to sell people over the years, or even if you've never come across him before, his website, you may be surprised to learn, is still "live - despite his passing in 2017 - with Rainbow Foil, Morphic Link Paper Clips, and much, much more. www.pwbelectronics.co.uk/And here's a pair of articles which discuss some of Mr Belt's " theories." Part One: Read This Facing North: The Strange Audio World Of Peter W. BeltPart Two: Hunting the Snark: More On The Strange Audio World Of Peter W. BeltFor more about "Morphic Resonance" see Rupert SheldrakeI'm sure these pages will bring back some memories, but I wonder how many "confessions" they will elicit.

I recall placing a piece of paper under one leg of all the chairs in the room. No, I couldn't hear any difference in the audio system. He had a lot of followers, and was very trendy at one time.

Thanks Paul SlingerNow remember I went right off tweaks as none of PB's worked for me and if the free ones didn't I wasn't spending money Thus I always started with tweaks as a sceptic. Still do with everything

Read the pages Belt well ahead of his time with some things that have a ring of truth about them in 2021 All I tried didn't work so I moved away
So much of the stuff we are trying now verges on bonkers and has roots in his ideas
A prophet in his own time ....

Interesting reading Paul and helps gives a different perspective to all of this. It seems from his point of view he was doing his best to help people with audio, as a lot of his ideas were either cheap or no extra costs. I remember years ago thinking should I freeze my CDs I did not but I did think about it. The weirdest belt like thing I saw was when I had a audio demo with some subs The sales guy ran a crystal over it and it did seem to take a bit of edge of the sound. But life is to short to do this every time I listen to music so I never bothered with the practise in my own system. I know for most this belongs on the Planet Zogg! and I guess that is wear I left it.
