Hola.
Después de estar esperando:
El ExactPower, el cable D-LINK de DENON y el SHAKTI para realizar pruebas sin coste alguno por mi parte, lo primero que me han mandado es el SHAKTI.
Aquí tenéis el documento que viene con la piedra, la cual es utilizada a discrección en los estudios ABBEY ROAD, y ASTORIA STUDIOS entre otros muchos.
A espera de prueba ciega leer esto, esta en inglés y esta escaneado, por lo que puede haber algún error del OCR.

SHAKTI ELECTROMAGNETIC STABILIZER
Shakti is defined in Webster's as an Indian word that means "energy". The Shakti Electromagnetic Stabilizer is a patented energy conversión device that reduces the detrimental effects of EMI/RFI in audio/video and automotive computer systems. It is a passive unit that requires no electrical hookup because the conversión is through mutual inductive, radiated field coupling. When placed on or near a component, Shakti's absorbtion and dissipation of parasitic fields results in music reproduction that is clearer, with more liquidity, dynamics and focus. The improved inter-transient silence allows the listener to hear ambient cue information essential for accurate perception of stage depth, width and unwavering imaging.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) is caused by the interplay of electromagnetic fields generated from individual devices and stages throughout circuit topology. These signal modulated noise fields have harmonics that distort musical information, resulting in a loss of dynamic contrasts and an obscuring of details essential for the perception of a realistic sound stage. Objective validations of Shakti's EMI attenuation properties are available on our website. These studies included certified lead chamber audio EMI tests and dynometer results that show automotive performance improvements when Shakti units are placed on automotive computers (ECUs) and coils.
Past attempts to reduce EMI have included extensive shielding in and around circuits as well as low pass ferrited type filters which produce minimal benefits and compromise accurate treble response. Shakti differs from these approaches in that it draws energy from the field it is attenuating. Like an antenna, its infernal trap circuits attact and effectively convert a portion of this field into mechanical energy and then dissipates it as heat. Inside are three distinct circuits covering the widest spectrum of EMI based fields including the microwave región. Shakti utilzes ferous and non ferous material and frequency optimized broad spectrum quartz oscillators with a low level magnetic field. These components are oriented within tuned wave guide chambers and encased in a cast stone chassis.
The worldwide use of Shakti devices in consumer and professional applications including ABBEY ROAD STUDIO and ASTORIA STUDIO, is a testament to its discernable cumulative benefits on a wide variety of audio/video and automotive computer components. No matter what your system may consist of now or in the future, Shakti is a valuable, lifetime investment in the pursuit of higher resolution music reproduction.

AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM APPLICATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Choose a mínimally processed vocal recording or large symphonic excerpt, that has an easily perceived sound stage of good depth and width. After you nave listened several times to a brief section, you can center Shakti on top of the audio component. Then begin evaluating its effects by A/B comparisons of Shakti on and off your audio components. Increased dimensionality and greater detail are the effects you will hear when placement is optimized.
Wherever preferred, Shakti can be used under or above the host audio device. In some situations additional improvements can result from the use of one Shakti unit above and another below the component. Two Shakti units on the same horizontal plañe, should not touch one another. Be sure, whenever possible to use Shakti with the engraved top facing the ceiling. In situations that require placement on its side, we recommend the engraved face be toward the component or AC source.
Many users have carefully used Shakti near their AC MAINS BOX. You can place it on the inside of the AC panel door where possible or outside, engraved side against the panel door, held on with duct tape or a makeshift harness tied around the Shakti unit. Also, in some instances placing it against the mains AC conduit housing going into or out of the AC Mains Box, will dramatically reduce system noise. These primary AC applications rival the benefits from some of the most expensive line conditioners. Shakti units are not conductive but do proceed with common sense caution in all cases.
On Pre and Power Amps, if you know the location of the Power transformer, then use that as the starting point for placement of Shakti. On other components such as CD players, Dacs and Tape Decks, begin with the approximate center of the chassis. Continué to A/B for the optimum placement by moving Shakti to different points on the chassis, noting where máximum benefits are obtained. With CD transports, Shakti placed directly above or below the location of the spinning CD inside the drawer, will audibly improve resolution. When using on a Tube Amp Output Transformer you should elévate Shakti by 1/2 inch using spacers at each córner or several Shakti On-Lines spaced underneath. Video cable and Satellite boxes, DVD Players and Video projectors will also benefit from Shakti use. in proximity to their power supplies and circuits. Audio and Video performance is improved.
Phono systems benefit with Shakti placement near the Turntable motor. Where space allows, place Shakti under the spinning platter in line with the Tone Arm/Cartridge directly above it. Sepárate Power Supplies and Line Conditioners will function far better if Shakti is placed above or below their chassis. Significant increases in resolution are gained with use on/in Loudspeaker cabinets and Electrostatic and Ribbon Transformers. Bass definition is improved when Shakti units are placed near Sub-woofers. Place right on top of the cabinet or underneath. If it is a powered subwoofer, you can use a unit near that amplifier.
Care and Maintenance
The Shakti Electromagnetic Stabilizer's outer chassis is made of a precast material. Integral pigmentation throughout is accomplished by the use of a special compound that has antistatic properties. Because Shakti is a natural handmade product, variations in color, texture and engraving are inherent valued qualities. Compressive strength is suffícient to support the average audio component in situations where placement below is preferred. Light surface stains can be removed by using a clean cloth and ordinary water.
The temperatures most audio components produce will not harra SHAKTI. In those situations where the máximum audible benefit occurs when SHAKTI is placed on top of heat vents, you should monitor the potential temperature rise in your equipment. You can raise SHAKTI a half inch or more at each córner to facilítate greater air flow. S.A.I. assumes no responsibility for the misuse of SHAKTI.
These instructions are general guidelines for using SHAKTI. As often is the case in a high definition system, a certain amount of experimentation in placement can prove beneficial. Contact us with any questions you have. We are confident SHAKTI will prove to be a valued addition to your music system by bringing you closer the "truth and beauty" of the original musical performance.

PD: Os recuerdo que estos chismes me los dejan para probarselos a una tienda Audio-Video, no es que me los vaya a comprar ni a sacar beneficio alguno.
