Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.

I believe if you believe in the belief that there is a possibility of believing something will work in the real world, and that your belief is what makes that thing work....wait a minute, I lost track of my beliefs...the whole thing's just unbelievable anyway.

Snatch the Shakti stones from my hand, young Grasshopper, and it will be time for you to leave.

I have 13 stones and 23 on-line pair. Yes, they do work. I use two at the subpanel where my dedicated lines emerge. This is a huge help. I experimented with 1-3 stones on my APL 3910, my Theta Citadel monoblocs, my Vandersteen 5a speaker on the top front tweeter(one on-line each), and my AudioexcellenceAz Power Wing(2 stones). I actually find that three stones on each works even better than one or two.
The on-lines work tremendously on all wire terminations. I have 1-2 at each termination. Some are presently on loan to my video system where they greatly improve the audio/video of my Tivo DirecTv HR 10 HD receiver.
I have yet to experience any negatives, but a local friend feels there is a small dryness along with the greatly reduced noise floor. He is currently using only on-lines in his system.
I hope this helps.

While I figure that they may indeed work for some applications, on the output and input transformers of my old Jadis JA80 amps they degraded the sound very slightly, and they did not make a difference of any sort on top of my Forsell transport (which surprised me, because that's the one piece in my system that seems to show changes most dramatically), so I gave them back to the guy who lent them to me. So I think Rlxl is right; I would not buy unless I could get a refund.

Yes, they make excellent paper weights.

Just think of all the things that won't work if you don't believe.

If you believe they work then I believe they work

Ditto Mrderrick's comments, especially amps. The lesson here is to experiment and listen. They are system and component dependent.

They definitely work if you believe they work.

Yes they work. I would start with one directly on top of your amps transformer. I have not had any luck (good or bad) with them when used with digital equipment. I have one on the transfrormer cover inside my Classe CA400 amp. (major improvement) I had two on my ARC Ref 1 directly over the power supply transformers. (not as dramatic as with my amp) I moved the stones to the tops of the first network boxes on my MIT 850 Ref speaker cables. (substantial improvement) I have started to experiment with the On Lines, so I'm still working through the learning curve with these. The stones lifted a layer of grunge that I didn't know existed. More "air" and detail in the music. There is one area were they made things worse. I tried a stone inside my Martin CLS electronic boxes and an On Line on the ESL panel leads. The sound just became congested and lifeless. I hope this info helps.
