Are Shakti Stones effective?

for me i am not an IMMEDIATE naysayer

i have tried it, gave it a chance (actually many many chances), based on my experience, it does nothing i can hear - still have one, it sits in my equipment closet after four homes in 20+ years

but maybe i am blessed with no emi issues... or poor hearing LOL

ymmv as always

Mass is mass. How much mass do you need to qualify as mass?

When you post ignorance on a general forum some old fart who went to school back when they actually got an education is liable to irrefutably correct your nonsense.

Back then we learned this thing we called reading comprehension. More than merely being able to sound out and spell the words reading comprehension involves understanding not only the words themselves but the context, intent, and content of the total message. The difference between reading and reading comprehension is knowing the OP is asking about Shakti Stones. No one is talking about mass loading. That was merely an example used to illustrate the ineffectiveness of Shakti Stones.

It can take years to develop your reading skills to this level. Usually grade school but not everyone learns at the same rate. Maybe by the time you yourself are an old fart you will have figured it out. Not off to a good start, but you never know.

Okay, so you can't hear a pound or two. How many pounds do you need?

A 1’ thick slab of concrete from Home Depot does the CD trick for me. Getting ready to try those springey things from China. Will report. I am an admitted happy user of Shungite, which I assume is what Shakti stones are made from. I went thru some experiments and used some of Magister’s ideas and determined that these stones are primarily effective as POWER noise reducers. A bag of small shungite stones draped over the cables leading in-n-out of my router and wall sockets seem to have lowered the noise floor for both audio and video. I have a pyramid resting on my flat (Nordost) speaker cables. More stable image. They’re cheap and the pyramids are cute and if you can’t hear the difference, use them as tiptoes or decor or give them to someone and make up a weird story. I get the impression that most of the deniers here have never read any of the literature on shungite. Pity.
