I’d be more than happy to try some goop.....rather curious, especially since I’ve made pretty good headway into what I personally consider spectacular sound from my system....most changes now are of the lateral variety.
I’d be willing to pay shipping both to and from here (if you required it returned) and give an in depth unbiased subjective review? Send a pm if your interested.

Nope, Popa none of what I said should insult you, I am not attempting to rewrite Physics or offend your learnings. I said I fitted a filter which is in the form of a Ferrite clip-on filter around a headphone cable and that this caused an audible difference according to the listener. You owe it to yourself to try to to the same with an actual ferrite filter and take a close listen, a really close listen and IME there is audible change, do some Googling and you will find that I am not alone in this finding.
Nope, I already stated my views on 'conspiracy theories' and gave a link, I will say again I have no time for the stuff that is false, that said there is plenty of stuff that is branded 'conspiracy theory' that is true and in time is proven true, the current Epstein case is a prime example. It is also true to say that there are plenty of reports that are branded as conspiracy theories by disinformation sources and intended to conceal heinous truths, this is nothing new in history.
Ok, I've heard about ferrite common mode filters before. And where falls the Goop into this picture? Because this is what
suggests.
Picture the scenario: A woman minding her own business is approached by a stranger who whips an unidentified object out of his pocket and says, something like, "Hey babe, how about plugging this in and telling me what you think?".......
So, another flip answer.
I'm fast concluding that goop, goop filters etc don't exist except in imagination. No one except Max has ever seen or heard of it / them, and then the alleged test data - well, SJ just summarised that.
Time to put up or..... Max???
I think that Max has made something that could be both important and useful. Unfortunately, it never gets farther than that. Max, if you cannot supply us with samples, then teasing us about its properties is inappropriate. The rest of you are mostly just nasty to him.
That would be a very happy ending for this story, a good outcome. It would be much sadder if Max would be proven as a crook, or of a lesser offence of a pot stirrer for his own amusement.
I guess we will never know.
Max/Dan is having fun. At all sorts of levels 😉
I think he's winding everyone up (favourite Aussie pastime BTW) and having a laugh at the sight of highly qualified people going off at him.
Hilarious.

The sound has HD impression at first but few things were not right, reminded me of Dan's Goop. It can't be a CD because I never heard CD to have this kind of 'mistake'. It probably originated as low quality stuff that underwent some improvement? Poor tape cassette can sound like that. May be deliberately filtered, there's no typical high frequency of TT and cassette either. But sound is like my childhood tape cassette.
Good point JC.
Is that the insult you were talking about?
Well, if a person named Dan Max goes to a gathering and starts sniffing at other people's back pocket, then the observers call out, "Hey, Dan Max, you are acting like a dog, what's the matter with you!", they insulted him, right?
OMG, this goes above and beyond the wildest imagination. BTW, you forgot to mention the dowsing rods performance improvement. On your dry continent, this could be a serious market differentiator from other quackery products.
If you open a topic in one of the technical forums, then you may get some better protection against verbal abuse.

Hello John. Yes it would be inappropriate to 'tease' but this is not my purpose. It is not possible unfortunately to supply samples across continents without protections, obviously that would be suicide on a number of fronts.
My purpose is to define a test protocol so that I can supply valid recordings that can then be analysed by the smartest here and perhaps come up with some explanations for the effects of Goop.
Unfortunately there was a problem with some glitches in a file and that was seized upon as 'proof' that I am completely incompetent and fodder for further derision and plain rudeness. Even recently I was told that my test recordings were invalid because they were not dithered during upscaling when there is no such thing as dithering option when upscaling.
Should I be able to explain the physics and bring Goop to market, there will be rewards and recognitions for assistances given, I am not greedy and intend to 'share the love'. As it stands there are some very curious observations that do not accord with the 'theory' that we are all familiar with.
Addition of Goop to audio system power, signal and speaker cabling alters system response and distinctly agreeably so. This observations set is rock solid and confirmed by a number of parties independent of my presence or involvement, IOW there is no valid objection of any kind for this currently unexplained behaviour.
Other 'odd' observations are experiments of placing a glass vial of Goop mixture inside car cigarette lighter socket and consequently changing the sound of the car radio system, clipping a filter onto car stereo antenna changes sound of AM and FM reproduction, addition of Goop to speaker/headphone driver magnet assemblies changes sound, addition of Goop to pcb earth planes at connectors changes sound, addition of Goop to IC packages and oscillator packages changes sound, addition of Goop to transmitter or receiver antennas changes reproduced sound, etc etc etc there are so many instances of Goop changing audio system sound that 'don't add up' but are proven anecdotally which is of course the start or seed for any formal investigations.
And then there is video, fitting a filter to TV power and/or signal cables improves picture in terms of colour clarity, contrast and apparent focus. And then there is lighting with similar improvement in clarity of light and lack of fatigue.
And then there is modification of aroma, flavour and appearance of wines and other beverages by contact with the vessel but not the content of the vessel. And so it goes, this is just a small sample of applications that have been trialed and changes in behaviours observed, there are other applications that will be trialed in due course.
Thank you John for you kind comments, yes I do think this is something that is significant and important and has great application far beyond just the audio world as we merge into a future 5G world.
Is this something that is not explained by conventional physics or is it disregarded terms in the equations, is it a 'relativity' effect driven by 'spooky' distance coupling ?, at this time I am not certain of the mechanisms but I am certain of the effects, just as BQP effects are real even though there are essentially no measurements to confirm review and user findings.
If I were to start a separate thread to investigate this subject, what are the guarantees that the usual parties that cause dilution and pollution will keep their nose out of it, and if this is broken how could order be restored and irrelevant posts removed ?. There has been attempts to investigate BQP but as is usual those threads got derailed into ego wars.
I would be pleased to continue in a separate thread as has been suggested and has some controls, what to do ?.
