Nothing? Have you not listened to Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata?

I know for a fact that Hallographs are not cheap to manufacture. The wood costs about $175 to $200, as stated nice pieces of ebony aren’t cheap. They are not made in huge quantities so machining them costs another few $100s. Probably a 3X to 4X mark up. Compare that to Synergistic Research tweaks-there’s a big markup. Also many of their products are worth the money in sound enhancement value. The Hallographs are the most important acoustic tweak I have, more than the SR HFTs and the PPT E-Mats. Without Hallographs, I would need better speakers (better imaging ones).

@uberwaltz- Nice! What type tubes does your pre use?

I’ve been messing around with magnets in my system for the last six months or so which you can read about on my system page. I’ve now added Tim’s products as well. Tim indicates they have nothing to do with magnetism but they certainly work as advertised and compliment what I’ve heard by adding magnets. Just thought I'd share some interesting reading:

Spintronics

A conventional digital electronic system conveys a binary signal (think 1s and 0s) through pulses of electrons carried through a conductive wire. Spintronics can convey additional information via another characteristic of electrons, their spin direction (think up or down). Spin is related to magnetism. So spintronics uses magnetism to align electrons of a certain spin, or "inject" spin into a system.

If you've ever done the old science experiment of turning a nail into a magnet by repeatedly dragging a magnet along its length, then you've already dabbled in spintronics. The magnet transfers information to the nail. The trick is then transporting and manipulating that information, which requires devices and materials with finely tuned properties. Researchers are working toward the milestone of a spin transistor, a spintronics version of the electronic components found in practically all modern electronics. Such a device requires a semiconductor material in which a magnetic field can easily manipulate the direction of electrons' spin -- a property called spin-orbit coupling.

I have also used the magnetic sheets as pointed out by sbayne. They work rather well for little money.  The mats, cards and contact paste all work well with them.  Great info sbayne!
