Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.

I tried a Shakti stone on my Simaudio W-5 amp. It didn't relly do much in that application.I don't doubt that they would work with other equipment, etc , but just didn't do it for me. At least I tried it.

I would say it would be system dependent. My local dealer did an in-store demonstration with his Musical Fidelity equipment and there was an audible difference. But when he brought the Shaktis to my home and tried it on my Parasound system, we both agreed, we couldn't hear any difference. And you can imagine he tried many stones in different locations in my Parasound system to no avail.

Looks like Musical Fidelity have some work to do in improving the EMI immunity of that particular equipment or its packaging.

Rapogee, there are sound scientific reason why items such as powercord and isolation devices can influence and alter the sound of a system. And you correct that some will influence some devices more than others.

Unfortunately, there is no scientific explanation as to why shakti stones can influence sound; it’s all down to placebo effect.
