Mr G- Of course; the Shakti is designed to eliminate RFI/EMI on a much grander scale, than the immediate proximity to a cartridge would entail(HOPEFULLY). Again- I limited my likening of their(possible)similarities to the 3 areas mentioned(and I'm...

Mr L- Type: "crystal radio" in your searchbar. The only energy necessary for their function, is that provided by an AM signal, within range. Also, along with that, type Schottky and germanium(small signal or low barrier diodes). they can take the ...

Mr P- Your first sentence makes too much sense for those, "many" to accept. Again: 'The Effect' at work in them. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolved-primate/201006/when-ignoranc...

Mr P- There are many on this site that need no experience with anything, to know that something does not/can not function as claimed, or- as others have observed. A prime example of 'The Dunning-Kruger Effect' at work.

Crossover for active bi-amp mode ML/JBL system
This is an inexpensive, and VERY transparent, way to actively bi-amp a system(with the right caps/resistors in it's passive high pass filter):(http://www.allegrosound.com/Dahlquist_DQ-LP1.html) (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-DAHLQUIST-DQ-LP1-ACT...

Dug up an eight-year-dead thread? Well- I suppose the OP might still be obsessing. 
Happy Labor Day
