No need for the attitude Tom.So, as I understand this....you have ZERO experience with salt lamps, yet you are spewing your thoughts?
Please tell me that this not the case.
Tom
Your statement "you have ZERO experience with salt lamps, yet you are spewing your thoughts" was more than just "wondering". It was hostile. You don't speak that way to other folks who comment on things that they have no experience with. Just sayin'...Sir, I have no "attitude". I am just wondering why you are commenting on something you have no experience with.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Tom
You seem to forget that my posts asked members to provide evidence for the implausible claims that were being made for these lamps. No evidence was forthcoming, including from you. I don't necessarily need to have personal experience with something to be able to rightly claim with a high degree of certainty that the claim is false. If someone brings a dead cat into their listening room and then claims that an orchestral passage had more substantial bass output, for example, I don't need have personal experience with that or do a Google search for studies on "dead cats" and "bass" to know that the claim is false. Some things are just obvious. To me anyway...There is nothing "hostile" in my post. Don't play the victim, when you are claiming something "other" than what others have observed. I have no dog in this fight personally. I am, however, paying attention but keeping quiet for the moment.....as, I DO have experience. with a salt lamp within the big rig room.
Your "rational" holds no weight because you have zero experience.

Hello and good evening to you. I have no point to prove in this thread, other than to point out that a certain member of the WBF is speaking about and commenting on something consistently that they have zero experience with.Been wincing at this exchange. IMHO it isn’t the best look for a WBF moderator to engage in testy exchanges to prove their point, regardless of its merits
Tom, if you were an ordinary WBF member I would just ignore your posts & move on. Given that you're a mod however, that makes it different. I have the impression that you just don't like objectivists coming in and challenging any of the claims that are made here. Better that WBF just be a subjectivist echo chamber, yes? (Sounds good to me! Sounds good to me too!)Hello and good evening to you. I have no point to prove in this thread, other than to point out that a certain member of the WBF is speaking about and commenting on something consistently that they have zero experience with.
Basic manners, as I was taught when I was a child. "Speak not of which you know nothing about".
Everyone should be fine with differing views/opinions. No one should be fine with opinions, along with toxic and confronting commentary, in which there is zero experience from the member within said topic.
Tom
It’d be good if they did a middle path DIY version of a quantum salt lamp where you put the sticker on it yourself… for only 10 times the price.It won’t be long before some obscure company releases a Quantum version of 50x the price.
Playing the victim card. so typical when one cannot refute these claims either.Tom, if you were an ordinary WBF member I would just ignore your posts & move on.

I'm going to take my leave of WBF. That should make things less stressful for both of us, I think.
Happy holidays to all!
The subject of the thread is Himalayan Salt Lamps as a HiFi Tweak.Sir, I have no "attitude". I am just wondering why you are commenting on something you have no experience with.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Clearly hostile in my view from the peanut gallery. Interesting coming from a Moderator...There is nothing "hostile" in my post.

Yeah, I have a couple but I wouldn't place them near my gear. They release salty moisture when not on. I leave mine on constantly and always use incandescent bulbs with them to keep them warm and dry.Umm that was sarcasm.
You need to leave them on all of the time and only use incandescent bulbs.Word of caution--I have these lamps and the damn things leave a mess of caked salt on and around the bases so place in receptacles/saucer/etc. Be warned
They do look nice on though

I wouldn't use LED bulbs. The heat from incandescents helps prevent sweating.http://www.ulta.com/tourmaline-ionic-professional-dryer?productId=xlsImpprod1080048
I also have a salt lamp in my room, I switched the bulb to LED and it's much brighter and doesn't burn out all the time but maybe a bit less heat. I have not tried listening for any changes, is there a best place to put it?
