There isn't much mass in the Herbie's Supersonic Stabiliser and they're stated as being a fluorocarbon and metal composite. Carbon seems to affect electromagnetic fields since carbon fibre is one of the 'ingredients' in ERS cloth and I've found that just placing a container with a small amount of activated carbon on top of a component over the transformer area makes a sonic difference, even though I'm only talking about 100 g of activated carbon, hardly enough to mass load anything.

Steve does not mention electromagnetic properties on the web page but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't have them. I have no idea myself.

If you're after both mass loading and RFI control, then I'd suggest lining the base of a container with ERS cloth and simply filling it with sand or shot to the mass you want. Otherwise start looking at devices like the Shakti stone, or try a few of the suggestions here and simply judge them on their merits. Quite frankly, I don't like the explanations given for a lot of tweaks but that doesn't mean they don't make a difference. Things can work but the explanation given can be wrong, in fact there's a long history of that starting with anything that worked based on gravity before Newton gave us the first version of the current accepted account.
