This web diary will log some of my various thoughts and experiments within the scientific domain of Beltism. Beltism is a relatively new science (discovered by Peter W. Belt), still little known and understood. It deals with energy fields in our environment that affect human senses, by reducing the tension these fields create within us, when around them. This allows us to better perceive sounds

I get a lot of that, actually. And a lot of this as well: "How come I never heard of it?!". This is an alternative science that has a lot going against it, in terms of how implausible it seems. But it has been studied and practiced by thousands of people across the globe for over a quarter of a century, because it has helped them and their acquaintances achieve benefits for that long. It has

Morphic messaging, briefly, is a means of tapping into morphic resonances (energy fields, studied by everyone from Einstein to Dr. Rupert Sheldrake). Which, in Sheldrake's meaning, implies that the past influences current activity. That there is an interconnection among activity, whether by humans or animals. From here, we go to informational fields, studying the links created in the languages

Here's another thing not many people know, or are likely to believe (at least, in the beginning).... Your plain old domestic home freezer, while great for keeping peas frozen, is also a valuable tool for transmogrifying adverse energy fields into ones more beneficial to human senses. Peter Belt (of PWB Electronics Inc) discovered this some 25 years ago, following experiments with heating, and

Apart from being on and communicating from the bleeding edge of audio and life science, I also have the best sounding website on the internet. Skeptical? That's ok. I expect that. Oh. You don't know what it means? That's ok. I expected that too. It means that, being here and reading this page, you have already entered the Twilight Zone.... of good sound!

This one's not about Beltism. (Or is it?). It's about something I always knew, but rediscovered tonight. The importance of cables. In this case, we're talking power cables..... I had a listen to one of my cd players earlier, an Arcam Alpha. I had not heard this thing in years. My intention was to compare it to another one of my cd players, a Marantz CD-63. The Marantz was really the one in the

Tonight I was organizing all my papers... a job that required the better half of an entire day and night. I finally stopped at five in the morning, when I "thought" everything had been filed away (but no, there was another banker's box in the closet that I missed...). Among the papers was a small oil painting on paper that my father, who has since passed, had painted. This, I'm afraid I had

(c) 2005 John Naccarato In the Nouvelle Revue du Son No. 2, of October 1976, French hifi journalist Jean Hiraga introduced the world to the concept that cables have a "sound", in his seminal article "Can we hear audio connecting wires?". I would like to explore that concept a little further in this article. Before Hiraga, cables were only thought to be a carrier for the electrical signal,

The rapid evolution of technology, a low initial cost, and planned obsolescence in consumer electronics have resulted in a fast-growing surplus of electronic waste around the globe. In the United States, an estimated 70% of heavy metals in landfills comes from discarded electronics, while electronic waste represents only 2% of America's trash in landfills. The EPA states that unwanted electronics

Sad to say, the film "Monsters Inc." has become ingrained in my consciousness, and slowly becoming one of my favorite movies. But that's only because I had the DVD on hand, and kept using it during my audio research. I can practically recite the entire dialogue from Chapter 1. This all started, because I wanted to compare HDMI cables, used to hook up my upconverting HD DVD player to my flat

Fact of life: many people spend more time listening to music in their car, than they do at home. In your car, besides driving, there's little else to do. If you're an audiophile, you're supposed to listen to your home system in an undistracted manner, and with full attention (as opposed to using it for background noise). That's kind of the point of high fidelity music reproduction. In a car, you

Tonight, I did the impossible. An experiment that is very possibly a premiere global advancement in the science of Beltism, and you're reading about it first, right here on the Advanced Audiophile Press blog! What it means to the science of Beltism, is that with this technique, it is now possible to demonstrate the effects of Beltism (or anything else who's mechanism works by way of listener

Yesterday, I was setting up a system for the kitchen, which was already wired with what's called "lamp cord" (cheapest speaker wire you can get). Mind you, I had "Belted" the speaker wire to sound better. Still, I wasn't sure I should leave this in, because it seemed like the Castle Clyde's (fine old British bookshelf speakers finished in a beautiful wood veneer) I intended to use in this system

For years, I rallied against the use of spikes. Spikes, cones, rusty nails.... anything that looks or smells like a spike. Whether it's under a speaker, a speaker stand, an equipment stand or a component, I don't care. I'd rather go bare, than go spiked. Ok, now that's the controversial part. Among actual audiophiles (as opposed to techno-dweebs who are more interested in the science than the

Nature is wonderful, isn't it? It holds both our salvation and our destruction in its grasp. The problem is, so many of us fail to see the trees for the forest. Their leaves are usually attacked with a blower, then assaulted with a rake, then tossed in the garbage and then burned and discarded. Yet every one of them can be beneficial in reducing adverse energy fields in our interior environment.

The results of a study on how volcanic gas may have been played a role in building up peptides was published in the Oct. 8 2004 issue of the journal "Science". Which suggests the  theory that life on earth arose near underwater volcanic vents (which to this day supports thriving, self-contained ecosystems). Another pointer to the origins of our existence on earth, is that the mineral composition

Yesterday, I took the opportunity to continue the experiments in my car, in order to improve on the sound of the car stereo. I wanted to pursue a technique I had discovered the day before, which was a major breakthrough in understand what this is and how it works. Of "breakthroughs", I have had a number. "Major breakthroughs".... mighty rare. So it was important for me to experiment where I could

I was looking for a picture of Peter Belt recently, to put up on my website; "The Advanced Audiophile". I realized I don't know what he looks like at all these days. The last picture I had seen of him was published over twenty years ago. Google Images brought up a British chat forum that had been discussing his then state of the art headphones. Which they thought were great, but when it came to

I started messing with Belt tweaks (aka "treatments") about 20 years ago. People who don't personally know me are inevitably skeptical whenever I relate my experiences to them, insisting I am fooling myself. Even my best friend, who knows all about my adventures in Beltism and is absolutely a believer in it because I spent more than two years transforming the sound of everything in her place, is

In many fields of science, audio in particular, there is the discussion of polarities. It is no different in Beltist science. The nature of the polarities under study may not be the same, but in audible terms, they have a similar effect. Reverse + / - leads to one of your speakers, and you'll see what I mean by "effect". Incorrectly phased, there is a kind of "inverting" of the sound. It only

The hope always remains that one day, the science of Beltism will become better understood and accepted by the mainstream scientific community, and from there, the world at large. By then, hopefully again, it will finally be understood that the effect of Beltism has been with us long before there was a Peter Belt to discover it; just as with many other scientific discoveries throughout the story
