VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick!

The expression thick as a brick springs to mind.

@bdp24 - yes, i think so. 

You don't want to drop a magic brick on your toes. 

I had a VPI Magic Brick way back when.  I tried it on all sorts of things, preamps, power amps, CD players, FM tuner, and in lots of different locations on top of each component, and I never found a single instance where it improved the sound.  The sound changed certainly but never for the better.  Once your ears identify the Brick's colorations, they become easy to hear with each piece of equipment.  As I recall, the colorations were a distant or recessed midrange and a steely, edgy quality in the treble.  Why anyone would want those colorations is beyond me.  My happiest day with the VPI Brick was the day I sold it.

That’s what they said about the Tice Clock. And the Intelligent Chip. It's likely you didn’t have the brick in the proper direction. Probably best if we throw out the negative results as outliers. Same as we do with fuses. Make sense?
