I have already experimented with the sonic effect of around 20 kind of stones and crystals... They all induce different sonic effects like tubes in an amplifier but greater sometimes... It is very easy to correct all degradation to gain the better with any of them because they collectively correct themselves in a synergetic collective action after the first experiments...At the end the effect is astounding and compare musically to nothing else...Variation of ALL particularities of sound can be gained...Imaging, dynamic, timbre modification, body, transparency, 3-d sound effect, with speakers or headphones etc...No upgrade of gear will give you that at a relatively low cost...The S.G. is like an amplifier for stones effects...I will never need to upgrade my very good but modest in price audio system...
Before all these experiments with tweaks, with exactly the same dac, amp, amplifier and speakers, I never knew what my pieces of gear was able to deliver...I was not satisfied, even if my basic gear is good for all reviewers and people who already owned them... Most people dont have a clue about their audio system potential by lack of cleanliness of source, power supply, conditioner, lack of room treatment, lack of vibrations controls, lack of cleanliness in the house electrical grid, lack of a minimalistic controls of RFI. or EMI....I know that I was one of them no more than 2 years ago...
