Shakti Electro-Magnetic
Stabilizer Stone
Ben Piazza’s Shakti Stones employ “proprietary noise reduction circuitry to absorb and dissipate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).” In other words, nobody’s quite sure how they work, but work they do when placed over the transformers of amps, preamps, and other electronics, reducing noise and enriching timbre.

Shakti Hallographs
Master of the inexplicable, Shakti’s Ben Piazza has followed up on his magic “Shakti stones” with yet another impossibleto- explain-but-effective-asclaimed item, the Hallographs. With direct-radiating or omni speakers, these large, rotatable, free-standing, tuning-forkshaped items work some kind of voodoo when placed in the corners of a room (behind the speakers), masking chaotic wall reflections and “clarifying” the soundfield (just as Shakti says they do).
