Are Shakti Stones effective?

You assume that anybody who will buy something to try is "gullible"...

You assume that all products that work for some but not for all are "snake oil"...

You assume YOU must speak for all people and in their name...

You accuse anybody that does not assume what your saying is "part of the problem " and is "harmful"...

Anybody can deduce what is your problem.... I will let others conclude... :)



By the way i devise for myself many homemade devices that work well, that is proof for myself that all products proposed to audiophiles are not necessarily fraud....

Your accusations are baseless in their overall range....

What make me smile is your allegations about "your knowledge"....






Anyway i wish you the best....

On transformers for tube amps usually work good.On other stuff not so much.

The main important first knowledge fact in audio life is this one, some of us learned the hard way:


Past some point in technological electronic engineering improvement in the past collective or personal history, the main improvement coming from an audio system, come less from an electronical design new progress than from an improved control of the mechanical, electrical and acoustical embeddings of the audio system...


Most embeddings controls are often simple devices and also sometimes simple advices (speakers positioning) and play now the first role in the increasing of the S.Q. of an audio system...


The devices i created for myself cost peanuts and worked so much that they transform my basic vintage good audio system to a new level ...


Anybody can make them, anybody can create better device at low costs....


Knowing that it is not so much buying better gear, past some point of your purchasing history, that will improve your system, the so called "upgrading process", but the increasing controls of the mechanical electrical, and acoustical dimensions is the most important basic fact in audio life...


Dont upgrade anything before embedding everything rightfully....

This is the basic axiom of audio....

And the ONLY important knowledge for most of us, engineers or not.....

@mahgister-    I've always held that the first three letters of, "assumptions", described those that make them.       The cult of the Naysayer Doctrine, wants you to accept their revelations, by faith (ie: YOUR senses and mental faculties are worthless and deceitful).    You MUST follow their precepts, or- be eternally DAMNED to partake of their (seemingly) inexhaustible fountain of ubiquitous, misinformed/uneducated, faith-based, hubris-salted, BLATHER.     Well: at least until they manage to get a thread removed, through their antagonistic barking (salvation preaching, no doubt, to their fevered, tormented minds).

This is absolutely true and it's one of the great ironies in audio. Many of those who would proclaim themselves "objectivists" are actually those consumed by a faith-based belief system. That's why they can so readily reject observations that aren't consistent with their beliefs. It is the very nature of faith; it requires no proof. 

Empirical evidence is just an inconvenience to the measurementalists, who seek comfort and security in their faith. And just like some religious fundamentalists, the measurementalists can be tireless in their evangelical proselytizing.
