I don't know if I would lay claim to that title, but thank you for the kind words.I have looked at the patent again, and I have no doubt that such a device will affect, and probably absorb and damp electromagnetic fields.
The combination of the magnets, permeable bars, and resistively coated particles within the device would acheive such ends.
Now, whether or not this provides a POSITIVE sonic benefit (or increased horsepower) would be much harder to show, and require subjective testing rather than objective measurements, in my opinion.
Transformers, audio circuits, computer curcuits, etc., all radiate EM fileds to one extent or another. In some cases, these stray fields can be a negative influence on the product, e.g., if the transformers field causes hum in the audio circuits, and you reduce or redirect the magnetic fields, then the hum will also be reduced.
How much further this can go is the question at hand. I could see how even some RFI phenomenon could be affected, and if low level RFI were reduced, then an audio component could sound better due to this. As another example illustrating this, If some low level RFI were riding in on the power line, and was being re-radiated by the power transformer, and placement of a Shakti Stone near the transformer reduced or redirected this RF energy, then again, there could be an improvement in the sound.
For those that wish to try and check for these kinds of things, a small trnasistor radio on the AM band can sometimes be an effective RF probe, tune in between stations, and "scan" the area of the componet that is to be treated, and see if you can pick up any increases in background noises. Then place the Shakti, and probe the are once again. Signal strength would be indicated by distance, if you have to move the radio closer to acheive the same noise level, then it has ben reduced.
As for computers, and improvements in CPU performance, I do know that most modern computers generate a HUGE amount of hash and RF energy due to the very high clock speeds, and that this does get radiated from the various circuits and chips. Whether or not reducing the stray EM energy would actually provide faster performance or higher hoursepower in the case of an engine CPU, is an even more tenuous speculation.
I do agree that a single test, with such a small increase is not conclusive.
