Does anyone have any experience with this technology? Reducing EMI energy seems to make sense for better audio reproduction.

    I listened to the stone for about an hour on a vey high end rig (over six figures) what can I say...sounded fantastic...no way to know though for me what it was like without the stone...it was used though with an Ayon CD player..speakers were Brekenridge...very fancy 180 degree stator design....

    I would give the device a try if you can have a trial in your rig. The thing is energy dissipation needs to occur throughout the rig...its something I am just getting into the problem seems to be how best to deal with the energy once captured.

    Oh, the mighty audio lord, please mercifully bestow the magic black stone upon my audio shrine.

    Ok, it was a joke.

    I am not here to say how you spend your money but If you want a better sound, look elsewhere to upgrade for the money. I would not hesitate to replace the speakers instead of using the magic stones.
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:

    Well, these things cost $199 each, and I was thinking of getting one for each amp. The speakers on the other hand are $2500/each, so the magic stone seems to have a good ROI if they work.

    I'm pretty open minded...but I've gotta say that I'm EXTREMELY skeptical about devices like this.

    But...it's your money. Good luck.:wink:
