New TWARON "Angel Hair" damping material
TWARON Angel Hair compared to a human hair
This synthetic fiber is meant for
construction of very strong, yet extremely light constructions,
armour vests, working cloths, tyres, wires, etc. As so often, the
side effect of beiing also capable to reduce internal reflections in
speaker cabinets in a very efficient way when it is in a random
mixed shape is found by Leo Busscher, a curious, audiophile employee
of the producing company Teijin Twaron. He tested some restmaterial
from a machine in this shape and found out that it works way better
then all known materials. A test, taken by experienced audiophiles
and reviewers, showed that even a flagship speaker using a THIEL
midrange, dramatically improved details as background noise from
audience and mechanics of instruments by taking out the wool and
replace it by some of thisTWARON angel hair.
The reviewer Fritz the With is
owner and recording engineer of Dutch
STS digital
studio's, known from the extremely good MARANTZ test CD's.
Since we all want to see in graphs what
happens VDC's Mr. Vance Dickason of Loudspeaker Industry Voicecoil
magazine will do some tests for us. Acxtually we believe that A/B
comparison will tell way more, since not all is measurable as we
know with cables, crossover components, etc. The results will
publish it in this industry magazine when it is available. For now
we just have to do with the fast growing reactions we get from
buyers. All of them are very happy with it and some even confirm our
experiences. Read some below. An increasing crowd is experiencing
similar as we do:
the ambiance of the sound increases
dramatically, you simply are more "there"......
In live recordings you hear the room and
audience way more and even a carefully damped studio of the
newsreader can be heard without any problem. Whispered counting 1,
2, 3, 4 .....starting a new song is there clearly.
So, before spending (even) more money in
equipment, cables, netfilters, furniture, etc. try some TWARON Angel
Hair. Our Angel Hair seems quite expensive, but the results are
worth it. Probably your system improves adequately
just by adding some of this fantastic
material. Do NOT compare price/weight, since you need way less
mass, compared to any other material.
This is not a standard produced product.
Teijin has to slow down and even stop a huge machine, normally
producing 1500 kg/hour of woven material, just to "spit out" about
30kg/time of rough material as we need it. Stopping and restarting
this machine is very expensive and it has to be removed from the
inside of this machine by hand also costing a lot of time. After the
raw material is processed to form it in the expanding woollike shape
as you get it. So the price is basically not just for the material,
mostly it is set by labour by the factory and us to repack huge
volumes in smaller bags. However, the results exceed the price by
far, we promise !
