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🙂
I feel sorry for all of you that are unwilling to try something outside of your limited belief systems. Insofar as certain tweaks are concerned, the word "belief" is not in the vocabulary of the skeptic. Any requirement to have the necessary belief system is conceding that no known science may explain certain characteristics. Which makes statements such as the one quoted rather redundant. Sometimes certain unusual technology may be caught by this requirement to have faith were it not possible for purveyors of said technology to take full advantage of the patents system for a variety of very good reasons. Credibility being one reason. A possible example I read about recently on these pages was the liquid technology as embodied in teo products. |
“…Any requirement to have the necessary belief system is conceding that no known science may explain certain characteristics” What many don’t seem to get is that the existence of these “characteristics” is entirely independent of explanation. They make the leap, totally unsupported by logic, to “I don't have an explanation, therefore fraud or deceit MUST be involved.” |
Ahhh.... Nothing like a good ol forum argument about tweakies. Let them stones roll! Remember the Belts? https://www.stereophile.com/content/peter-belt-1930-2017 |
