Shakti Stone

I have found that results will vary depending upon your location, sensitivity of audio components and the amount of (EMI) and/or (RFI) interfearence you have. 

The improvement can be so slight that the average listener may not notice, which is why many people say the Shakti Stones don't work. I'm say they work but your improvement in noise reduction will vary.

I had a friend with the Skakti stones. He also had the little tiny bowls that would hit right at the spot of the reflection point. He had a beautiful Luxman Magico system.

I think if any of these chockskies did anything at all, it was to help him pay attention to everything. It all matters a little and if that stone brings you deeper in to paying attention to other areas go for it. You can even pay $4000 for a rod with resonators on it. I saw an $18000 power strip the other day. 

Sometimes the ritual of using something deepens our appreciation of the hobby to the point that makes it worth it.   I haven't used the Shakti stone but a few of the other above with some outcomes harder to hear than others. Go after the speaker positioning so it grips your room, locks in. That's worth about a $10,000 improvement if you get it right, and it's free.  Get the stone too.

I will return to this thread in the future if I need to identify the fools.

Why say anything @unclewilbur
