They copied the "put a giant toroidal power supply in something that will never need it" trick from Denafrips who started putting them in DACs, you know, those things that can run perfectly off a cell phone.
It makes it heavy, and as we all know weight means quality.

I feel like when the product is literally called Magic Stones, anyone who buys them deserves to lose their money

quote:

The PDF Steinmusic manual for the Harmonizers describes their function as "elongating the air molecules" – i.e. "charging" the air in the listening room in a manner that facilitates the transmission of musical energy through the room. It seems to be suggesting that this charging of the air molecules means that when the speaker output enters the listening room space it does not have to overcome the inertia of uncharged/un-elongated air in the room.
Mods change my username to Elongated Air please.
