Shakti Stone?

David-You might want to check out some VPI Bricks they cost $80 a piece and do the same thing as the Shakti plus mass damping. I use them on my CAL Icon CD player, my Ayre V3 amp and EAR 834P preamp, on my Audible Illusions M3A I could not use them because of the venting so on that piece I use a series of brass wieghts that Pierre Sprey at Mapleshade sells called Heavyhat Triple points. Pierrie's wieghts are used only for damping. The wood affect also IMHO brings out a more natural sound to the instruments. See link below: http://www.audioadvisor.com/product.cfm?productid=2573 Another great new tweak are the Cardas Wood blocks, I use them coupled with Black Diamond cones, and the effect is not subtle. I put them between the equiptment and the BDR cones. The Cardas RCA covers are also great, much quiter background. Best-Gary

It's amazing what some people will throw money away on.

what a bunch of snake oil.you must really have nothing better to do with your time than wasting it playing with stones.get a grip and tell your dealer to get a life and sell you something that might actually make a difference. My God what is this hobby comming to.Well if your guilable why not get takin to the cleaners. If you want to add weigt to your gear buy a 2" slab of marble.it will do the trick or fill a cigar box with sand.

Leafs are you saying the Shakti products dont work? I havent commited to buying.Im just trying to get a feel here of what others think.Leafs, have you tried a stone in your system? Seems like lots of people like them.I know of several big shot reviewers that swear by them.Who here has had real experiance with them? and?

I THINK IF YOU DO PROPER WIRING AND HAVE GOOD SHIELDED CABLES THIS STONE IS JUST ANOTHER OF THE MANY SNAKE OIL PRODUCTS OUT THERE.DONT BELIVE WHAT MOST REVIEWRS HAVE TO SAY.WHEN YOU GET FREE GEAR YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE STUPID TO SAY IT DOES NOT WORK.GIVE IT A TRY AND LET US KNOW. I BET A DEDICATED AC LINE WOULD DO MUCH MORE.
