Where to put my Shakti stone?


Hi guys, I just bought a Shakti stone to try. I haven't gotten it yet, but wanted to seek advice on where best to put it. My set-up includes the Simaudio I-7, SuperNova, and Focal 1027; with Transparent Reference level cables, and Shunyata Python level power cords and Hydra 4. All components are supported by Symposium products.

I place the amplifier stone over the transformer, and the cd player stone over the cd drawer.

I hear a difference, I wonder how many or the previous posters have had the chance to try them out? IMHO they may be missing something.
I would say place it where it is very visible while you are listening. Best on a chassis with a thin cover. I have weights on my amp (a three foot Kuan Yin replica!) and in my rack stuff I have rubber bottle stoppers under and over locking in the components to reduce unwanted vibrations.
My sub is on a patio slab with another smaller on on top of the sub, all with bottle stoppers.. (to protect my downstairs neighbor! from unwanted noise).
I say put it where you can see it to enhance the effectiveness.
At one time I had 18 of them. Now I have none. There is little question that you can hear their impact. If I carefully avoided all signal wires and focused on transformers, I could hear some improvement in signal to noise. If I got anywhere near the signal, however, they robbed the dynamics from the music, much like most ac filters do. I sold most long ago and must have sold the few remaining about a year ago when I found them in a box.

I suspect that a revealing system is harmed by them. Someone has recently said that they include quartz. Perhaps they do, but they do not sound like it.
