Stein Music H2 Acoustic Harmonizer - Any experience with this??

Trying to get caught up on my audio reading.  The September TAS had a brief article on the "H2".  I remember reading about this previously but really haven't read buzz about it here.  Having experienced firsthand what a difference Perfect Path Technologies' TC Total Contact paste and Omega E Mats can favor upon my system I can't help but wonder if the "H2" is the real deal or not.  Electrically charged crystals that affect the nature of the listening room's air enabling a more sharply focused yet more spacious soundstage is intriguing.  Anyone have interest or experience with this idiosyncratic device?  Thanks.

@hifiman5 How is the Omega E mat used? There's no description on the PerfectPath website.

Don't listen to dealers that have something to sell as they love everything they sell.

The SteinMusic Harmonizer probably falls into the troll bait category, you know, like the Mpingo disc, Lessloss Blackbody, Acoustic Revive Schumann Frequency Generator, Franck Tchang’s teeny tiny gold or platinum bowl acoustic resonators, Shakti Hallograph, and 3 GHz Ultra Tweeters from Golden Sound.

As an alternative to Shakti sticks, I play Peter Gabriel...on a table radio in a nearby closet.... results seem independent of volume, Grundig battery powered, no wall wart

Shock-Ti-Monkey to life

YMMV

@donjr  First off I have no idea how the Omega E Mats work. Tim Mrock, the proprietor of PPT isn't telling...yet.  There is a very long thread here where it is discussed by many many folks who have used them in their systems. 

The best info. currently available is that they neutralize RFI and EMI in a big way.  The more Mats the greater the impact on the system.  I am using three Mats currently.  The first place to put the Mats is using their magnetic side to attach them to the inside door of your electrical service.  I have two Mats in there.I placed my 3rd Mat under my preamp as every signal must flow through it.

Here's the real cool thing about the Mats in the service panel.  They radically reduce the RFI and EMI that overlays the power going to everything win your house. As far s audio goes it lowers the noise floor of your system.  You can hear further into the music. You discover low level sounds in the mix you never heard before.

Wait till you see what happens to the clarity, smoothness of your video!
