For 500$ you can get a rock to sit on your amp and improve sound, I cant tell if the person is running a scam or if this is like satire lmao

Can I have a frequency response of the before/after rock

it's a scam. I can hear from just looking at these pictures that they are not properly astroaligned. Also the chi is all over the place. How am I supposed to put all that sound intravenous if these rocks mess up all the good vibes?

They're not rocks, they're minerals.

I wouldn't believe it either if I didn't hear the difference when I put one on top of my vinyl record while it was playing! The veil was lifted and I started hearing residual infrasound frequencies from the birth of the known (and unknown) universe!! Now sure, I could be biased but even my wife could hear the difference from three air tight nuclear blast doors away!!!

In the middle Palaeolithic era, man was often frustrated by the lack of hifi equipment but this was more than made up for with superb rock availability

Can someone please confirm, that the background looks like this in real life? Because it looks like noise that would be emitted by radioactive materials.

Can't believe you didn't mention how bad the karma is on some of these and how disconnected their chakras are. No way these are going to have an enjoyable effect on harmonic distortion with those traits.

In my experience, rocks do improve sound quality. I threw one against a shop's window and grabbed a home theater for my living room.

I know it is a scam and it sucks, but when i see something like this, i'm like : " if you're smart enough to be browsing the internet, and you have enough disposable income to even consider buying this, AND YOU DO, you kinda deserve it. Even if only as a lesson for yourself hahaha

Right? The feng shui will be all wrong with these rocks. The dragon will be overly powerful, you’re going to need a LOT of V-8 juice to stay steady if you travel down this path.

Also, definitely a little Warp taint coming from that bottom left one, I’d get someone from the atrophysicus to scan this before you buy. No one needs a witch hunter kicking down your door when you are halfway into a subjectively tasty jam.

Found these when I was researching the Toms Hardware article. If a fool has money there will always be someone out there trying to figure out how to get it.

You can smoke one for $10 and get much better results.

I mean the rock does have the same effect as the half shielded Sata cable but at only half the price WHAT A DEAL!!

Sometimes I think that I saw all the BS in this hobby and than someone posts something like that to remind me how ignorant I am.

Am I supposed to hit myself in the head with the rock until my music sounds better?
