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.

If people want to chime in and tell other people how thing "can’t" work, then why chime in at all? If you have an explanation WHY, then share it and move on.

The same goes for everyone else that chimes in to explain everyone else’s ignorance or usually just calls everyone a liar. Their opinions and 5 dollars will get you a cup of coffee.


As a matter of general principle, the onus is placed on the person making a claim that in fact the claim has merit and has general application. This is a positive claim.

Others may then show cause as to any reason they may have doubt about the positive claim. This rebuttal may question any number of substantive and material facts that the claimant may make in support of their claim. Should this raise any doubts, the person making the claim is free to clarify, or seek to provide further information.

This approach is somewhat different to any claims that any tweak does *not* work. This is the scenario in the provided quote (roughly - the issues there are perhaps inadvertently conflated if you have read this far) and is an entirely different matter, and as some may know, it is tricky to prove a negative..

Unless you bring common sense into it.

IF you had a stone that could FIX your screwed up system for 86.50 would you buy it?

Ok if it doesn’t work you can send it back.

The reason WHY they don’t tell you or any one else WHAT or WHY it works is pure and simple THEFT. They are not copyrighted, they are not intellectual property and they have no patent.

WHY on EARTH would I tell you how it works..

Buy it and Try it or send it back..

AS a manufacture of mushrooms I’m under no obligation to tell you or anyone how I grow my mushrooms. JUST if you DON’T die from eating them your lucky...

No Ticky, no laundry.

I’ve posted a lot of speaker repairs on this site just to erase them.. Why give away everything.. No one told me I’m dying just yet.. ;-)

even more so than the fuse scam, which thank god is now under control.
Wow, a sigh of collective relief. Do you have some sales figures George? Has your tireless crusade finally made a dint into the ill gotten gains of those devious charlatans?
