Definitely work. I use them on top of the transformers in my Manley monoblocs to good effect. Back in the day when I had time for this sort of thing, I compared their effect to that of 8lbs of stacked......yes, bricks (three/per as I recall). Yup, the Magic Bricks did sound better. A subtle, but noticeable tightening of the sound and reduction of HF grain. Like magic! 😊

They are still being sold in the Uk by www.britishaudiostore.com (no affiliation) I have been using them for 25+years and firmy believe that nary a power transformer should be without them: lowered noisefloor as well as overall clarity of the system. Deleting the threats is an act of vandalism. |
They were $35, when they came out (80’s). Of, course; I only paid $19.95, for my first Audio Technica Safety-Raiser, too. I got a DB-9 pair, when I bought my Cary monoblocks. Probably: world’s singular easiest A/B listening test. Especially efficacious, if your amp’s output and power transformers are in close proximity (magnetic flux/eddy currents/etc). https://elusivedisc.com/vpi-magic-brick/ Stereophile reprinted their 1982 review: https://www.stereophile.com/content/vpi-magic-brick |
