Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys.

try kidney stones, everything sounds better after passing one.

I was browsing through(my father's!) MSEE tube textbooks from the early 1950s and came across a statement that a block of ferrous material placed on top of a transformer improves electromagnetic coupling between the windings. This explains the old transformer laminations found inside VPI bricks and perhaps the ferrites in Shakti stones. Expensive, mystical repackagings of simple ideas...

Google shows this as the patent:

If you can notice the blind spot created by putting a pea in front of your speakers your auditory acuteness is sufficient to detect a difference from the Shakti Stones. It amazes me what some will pay for an tiny difference in sound (better?)
