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.

Repeat George, 15 times you've chimed in on a thread about stones. Several more have been deleted.

How many times are you NOT going to contribute?

If you've used the stones chime in, if you have NOT, STOP..

I haven't tried them and most likely won't, that has nothing to do with those that have. I'm glad I can use them and choose what may work better for ME, IF I so choose.. It's a choice,

I LIKE choices..

One that seems to be lacking is NO. Pretty simple one..

If people want to chime in and tell other people how thing "can't" work, then why chime in at all? If you have an explanation WHY, then share it and move on.

The same goes for everyone else that chimes in to explain everyone else's ignorance or usually just calls everyone a liar. Their opinions and 5 dollars will get you a cup of coffee.

It's like talking to Klingons (Grand Nagus Zek, DS9) What's the profit in that? In this case where is the wisdom in "you shouldn't try it"? OR at least pay attention..

Ya snake oilers called me in yet again, 16th time

YOU HAVE TO BE "STONE" CRAZY IF YOU THINK A "0.1oz $86" PINK ROCK PLACED ON YOUR AMP IS GOING TO EFFECT THE SOUND😜

Can someone with a little technical knowledge let me know what kind of rock (the actual mineral) this item is?  I have tried several different types of rocks this morning on my components and have seen zero results.  If there is a claim that a rock can improve sound, my friend who is a geology nut will help me test the correct ones.  Also, the brick and the charcoal was a total failure.
