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.

I keep hearing the term "shill".
Doesn’t that imply someone has a vested interested in selling the product in question?


Who’s selling something here?


Go read MC posts he is a dealer for for a couple of these Tweak Guys, BDR Cones, Townsend Audio. If it walks like a duck….. guess we can just call them carnival barkers. 

I don’t care what you buy, where you buy it, and from whom you buy it. I don’t know if QSA tone-stones work, I’ve never tried them. 

I have tried several tweaks in my system that absolutely made a difference. 

But to never try something because you don’t think it could possibly work, and therefore shout from the mountaintops that whoever DOES try it is an idiot and wasting their money......well, kind of seems your opinion isn’t worth a whole lot to me. What do you care how much money I spend on and what I choose to try/buy? 

Could care less what you buy either. I have tried all this crap and guess what it did not work. Guess you have have an entry level Raven and Tektons for it to work….

I guess it’s whoever argues most (and loudest) in the most passive aggressive way wins? 

I have no doubt who the ignorant flat-earthers are in this thread.

You have no idea!  I guess MC wins every time then LOL NOT!
QSA stones, not personal opinions weather or not someone is part of someone's sales staff.

A shill is a "plant", a huckster. HE IS NEITHER. He speaks about the products HE owns and paid for.. No freebies.. No payed or bribed advertisement.. He likes the product..

ASK MC, he is an honest fellow, and a Agon member I personally like..

There is a point where it's as simple as "Jealousy brings unkind words".

Nothing to offer to the thread "LIKE" Repeat George. ZERO..

QSA Stones, have you tried them? I haven't.

For anyone who maybe interested, QSA has new stone items:  QSA Gemstones - Pack of 5 https://www.tweekgeek.com/qsa-gemstones-pack-of-5/

I also found it interesting that in the product description it says:

Red: Warmth, bloom, and decay

Clear: High frequencies, air, space. Good with tube components, not good with metal dome tweeters.

Blue: lower Mids and upper mids: Openness, texture, layering, transparency

(new) Black: Air, space, texture. This one is my favorite, along with the blue. The two together open up the sound in a refined way.


Clear: 'not good with metal tweeters.'
