QSA Stones

I have had 6 QSA Stones on top of my power conditioner (2 each of red blue and clear) for about three months, and have really enjoyed what they bring to my system. This week, I got another set of 6.


One thing I have learned over many years in this hobby is the importance of power supplies, and the impact they have on the sound of individual components and systems. A number of audiophiles with DIY skills upgrade the power supplies on components with bigger and/or better capacitors, and in various other ways. Unfortunately, I lack the skills to do this.


I ended up placing the new stones on top of the power supplies of my CD transport and amp (1 red, blue and clear on each). To me the very positive results sound similar to upgrading the power supplies, without all the hassle of soldering etc. Particularly with my amp, there was an increased sense of ease and musical flow, along with more solidity and authority.


I don’t claim to have any real explanation as to how the QSA stones work, but it seems to have something to do with their interaction with electromagnetic fields, such as those around power transformers. Fortunately, I don’t need an explanation to enjoy the results🙂


If you think this is all bunk, or can’t see how these type of things can have any impact on the sound, that’s fine, but I’ll politely ask you to refrain from making repeated posts to that effect. The QSA Stones are obviously not for you, nor is this thread directed towards you.

It cannot be easier to understand. If you've tried them, you have an obligation (according to you) to report that to other folks.

The problem is most folks that are saying something doesn't work, haven't tried what they are talking about (STONES).

If you haven't tried them, then quit cluttering up the thread, I'm an avid reader in spite of the repeated post about how they CAN'T work.

NOT they didn't work for me.. I didn't hear a thing, OR my dog started attacking my leg and hiking HER leg on the amp with the stones. SHE normally squats outside to take a leak... She thinks she is a 130lb MALE Mastiff. She is a 13 lb Jack.

Report what happens, not what you haven't TRIED..

HECK LIE and say you did and the moon turned blue or something..

OR

Pay attention and READ.

Do I think stones can change the way a system can sounds? I know they can...

I use to really mess around with magnets as a kid. BIG magnets, electro magnets. Then neo and rare earth and a few other composites that can hold a field. HO train motors are really cool IF you pay attention to crazy Tesla.. :-)

THEN about 4 years ago (56 years total) I see cable manufactures using magnets to focus cables (for the lack of a better term). Very popular with some pretty good results and it has surely helped THEIR pocket books.. GOOD FOR THEM... Land of the FREE and home of the BRAVE. (My dog).

Different materials that have formed over millions of years and then MAN does some hocus pocus to it in a micro wave.. Are folks that silly to think a ROCK with 10,000 different "THINGS" in it and just one or two altered by some bonehead, can't do weird things?

Genuine NUTS are what roles down hills.  Be at the bottom.. LOL

Geez, I've made a few mistakes that turned out really GOOD..  Imagine that a mistake that turned out well.. 

Kind of like Brittney saying "Ops I did it again" Was that a mistake? :-)
