A matter of principle? I suppose, in the same way that believing that when I let go of a paper clip it will fall downward is a matter of principle. There's no mechanism for interaction, no known force that could explain it.As for my having an obligation to help Stereophile's readers, I dealt with that obligation in the way I thought was most appropriate; the result was what I wrote. I do not believe that my responsibilities extended to wasting my time testing a product that is transparently fraudulent, by design.
BTW: I've tried most tweaks that don't come with too high a price tag: power conditioning, power cords, EMI reduction, cable elevators--anything with a conceivable mechanism of affect, I'll try it, as long as it doesn't cost too much. My main interest, after all, is in affordable audio, so the question in all these cases is whether the effect is noticeable in a modest system.
My conclusions: Shakti stones make no difference in my system; that EFI-reducing paper (can't remember what they call it): no effect. Power treatment (PS audio): subtle but unmistakeable effect. Power cord (PS Audio): obvious, positive effect (much to my surprise). Cable elevators: no effect.
Cheers,
Jim
