C37 = Carbon 37 (Audio Technology)

A theory on the response of your body to aural and other vibrational stimuli put forward by Austrian inventor Dieter Ennemoser, his theory is in reality a better worked out version of the various "Om" theories that have been doing the rounds courtesy of Occultists in the last couple of centuries but you can read more on the theory here here and make your own judgement. Having said that, a couple of the products emerging from his research have been interesting, first and foremost is a type of lacquer that is intended to be used on a variety of surfaces available in a number of versions classified by the operational temperature of the material it's meant to be used with, but while the inventor intends the paint to be used on almost any surface it is mostly used on loudspeaker cones. This has been decried as an outright scandal by some self proclaimed "scientific thinkers" in the audio community on the basis that a lacquer cannot have any effect on the sound of a product, you can read one of the more often cited page here. One has to question if those gentlemen are not in need of a little brushing up on material theory, you should note that the writer of the page in question is not even familiar with the practice of lacquering transducers such as microphone elements and loudspeaker cones. Applying lacquer to loudspeaker cones is common in the loudspeaker industry in fact paper cones cannot be used in countries with high humidity with out treatment and lacquering is the most common of them, this trick has also been used since the 50's at the least in an attempt to change the resonance characteristics of other items such as turntable platters and pickups, albeit with a varying degree of success. The main problem with evaluating theories of this kind in the is that if you read both the writings of the proponents and the detractors, neither side appears quite erm... balanced .... Anyway, the fact that the most successful product to emerge from this is a lacquer may have a more mundane explanation than the one voiced in the C37 theory, Herr Ennemoser is a master violin maker, violins are covered in multiple layers of lacquer, not just for looks and wear and tear but also to change the acoustical properties of the instruments and one of the best kept secrets of the trade is the composition of it's lacquers..... Oh... and C37 is a registered trademark BTW.
