QSA Stones

I have had 6 QSA Stones on top of my power conditioner (2 each of red blue and clear) for about three months, and have really enjoyed what they bring to my system. This week, I got another set of 6.


One thing I have learned over many years in this hobby is the importance of power supplies, and the impact they have on the sound of individual components and systems. A number of audiophiles with DIY skills upgrade the power supplies on components with bigger and/or better capacitors, and in various other ways. Unfortunately, I lack the skills to do this.


I ended up placing the new stones on top of the power supplies of my CD transport and amp (1 red, blue and clear on each). To me the very positive results sound similar to upgrading the power supplies, without all the hassle of soldering etc. Particularly with my amp, there was an increased sense of ease and musical flow, along with more solidity and authority.


I don’t claim to have any real explanation as to how the QSA stones work, but it seems to have something to do with their interaction with electromagnetic fields, such as those around power transformers. Fortunately, I don’t need an explanation to enjoy the results🙂


If you think this is all bunk, or can’t see how these type of things can have any impact on the sound, that’s fine, but I’ll politely ask you to refrain from making repeated posts to that effect. The QSA Stones are obviously not for you, nor is this thread directed towards you.

All these "snake oil" products need to be eradicated, from forums, where they get free exposure and get massive profits, without posting themselves if you notice, they just let their shillers do it for them. That way there’s no liability back to them for any claims on what they do.

Cheers George

George it's NOT FREE.. The vendors pay a lot of money to SELL their stuff on AG. What part don't you understand.. You've paid nothing and have tried nothing..

What is your contribution other than earning the nickname "Repeat".

You're gonna keep fooling around and get in trouble again, man oh man.

You get a little traction from a few knuckle heads and you have to start showing how many times you can Repeat the same thing..

I'm really wishing there was an ON/OFF button.. I'd pay for it AG I really really would...  :-)

Repeat George and Pope mozartfan, throw in a little GK heck I'll contribute, we'd have a travlin' road show.. We'd make a fortune... :-)
Have MC, fuztone, tubebuffer, and Master M as guest stars.. LOL
Ozzy, hide45, and about a dozen others.. 

HECK lets make some money.. Let's run a Ponzi for a week or two and become billionaires for a while, why not.. Form a new club.. Trillionaires Club... Why mess around...

Let's start a new "Cyber Country"... Let's make it BIG too..

Hopefully today’s audio consumer is far better informed than his predecessors were.

These disreputable dealers of hokum can only leave a bad taste in their customers mouths.

Until another Michael Faraday comes along to enlighten us all I think we can safely ignore all of these facile shill attempts.

In the meantime I’ve also got some magic pebbles I’d love you all to try out...trust me they’re good, real good.

This stuff is mystical. It defies logic and science but you don’t need to listen to me, you don’t need no white paper man!


Just let my friend Dennis explain it.

"One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions.

You can’t travel in space, you can’t go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions - what are you going to land on - one-quarter, three-eighths?

What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something?

That’s dialectic physics."
