VPI Magic Brick threads deleted

OK you got me, they are a brick, of iron that somehow, creates a magic field of magic? I'm not getting it.. It does something, other than weigh a lot? Grain oriented, does it expand or contract the fields or something in a different way, run as shielding? It's 40.00 of postage? I don't get it..

What is it?

Don't start something and not finish it.. What is that thing? I GOTTA KNOW NOW!.. What is it.... :-)

I have had 3 of them in my system in various places for decades. When one of them goes missing it is usually because my wife needs to glue something. 

oldhvymec,

It is an 8lb,  5" by 3" block of steel laminations...

I didn't mean to be mysterious. I bought them because a dealer that I had a relationship with at the time in Princeton NJ recommended them; and while he was a bit quirky, he had a genuine talent for putting together really good sounding systems, so I bought them. He said that I should place them on, or in the closest proximity of transformers, and that it would have a beneficial sonic effect. I can't swear that it does, but I have always used them that way, and I also use one in the middle of my DAC which is not evenly balanced.
