by About thirty years ago the British hi-fi press became enthralled by Peter Belt and his mysterious products. Just an elastic band and a cable tie treated by Peter Belt could transform the sound of a hi-fi system, and he could even treat a glass off water to have the same effect.A few months later the was a big hi-fi exhibition at Heathrow Airport and I went along with my girlfriend. We went and listened to the various hi-fi company demonstrations and got bored as hell, but at the end of the day we finally got into the room of the Haymarket Publishing group, which published What Hi-Fi, Popular Hi-Fi, and Hi-Fi Answers, where they were demonstrating Peter Belt products.So in the room was a top Linn Hi-Fi system with a Linn Sondeck L.P. 12 record player.

A few months later the was a big hi-fi exhibition at Heathrow Airport and I went along with my girlfriend. We went and listened to the various hi-fi company demonstrations and got bored as hell, but at the end of the day we finally got into the room of the Haymarket Publishing group, which published What Hi-Fi, Popular Hi-Fi, and Hi-Fi Answers, where they were demonstrating Peter Belt products.
So in the room was a top Linn Hi-Fi system with a Linn Sondeck L.P. 12 record player. I sat there with my girlfriend with about 30 other people and we listened to some music. Then they put a charged cable tie with with an elastic band attached to it to the record player and it transformed the sound of the music where all of a sudden the music became coherent and dynamic with perfect timing. Everyone gasped, including my girlfriend, who had no interest in hi-fi, as it was simply a dramatic and stunning difference. Jaw droping in fact.
Peter Belt was there who said that the hi-fi had not changed its sound but our perception of sound had. He then demonstrated a similar effect with a charged glass of water. Again we were all stunned.
Why do I write about this, well, we do enjoy some of the mystical stuff here at times, like quantum physics and spirituality, so I thought this would an interesting article. It's the only real encounter I have ever had with something mystical and strange, and perhaps it was an example of quantum physics at work. KV.
