Any other devotees of Shun Mook products out there? I was hooked on these by the great Jonathan Scull now I can't listen to a non-shun mooked system.
Follow Ups:
The demonstrations were very convincing. I have many Mpingo disks, but use only a few. Their impact is something that I would not want to do without, even though it is subtle.
I had some Mpingo Discs many years ago. I thought they worked a little bit. I had some of their footers too. They worked reasonably well at the time. Much of the Shun Mook stuff is incredibly fussy-one has to find just the right spot, and/or orientation.
As my system got better, I moved on.

I haven't tried any Shun Mook products in my system BUT the japanese products I am using, including Golden Sound, Oyaide, Furutech, Acrolink and fo.Q, are all geared in solid engineering principles and applications and when applied, bring musical results that can be repeatably demonstrated.
All one has to do is look at the japanese high end audio scene, including tweaks, and one will see that it is all geared towards bringing one closer to the music. I was a skeptic on the Golden Sound acoustic room tuning discs until I bought some and put them in my room as recommended by GS.
These discs showed me that "room articulation" is much more important than say swapping IC's/speaker cables as tuning means but once one get's the room right, then all the other system tuning aspects are much more pronounced.
Get the room acoustics right and you're most of the way there in reproducing "music" in ones home... you will know it when you hear it :-)
Just my .02 cents worth...

a Shun Mook disc and you will find a small faceted crystal. I had the disc X rayed prior to cutting apart in order to determine that there was something within the disc. You can purchase m'pingo wood from Gilmor Woods up in Portland, IIRC. That way, you can investigate the role of the wood itself.
The Shun Mook people had a device called the ruby hexsonic. I believe the name is a giveaway for what they used. However the device was already discontinued by the time I tried them.

Was that "within" the directional portion of the disk? I seem to remember a small "dot" of wood at the surface that indicated such direction.
Yes, the crystal was in the 1/2 inch area with the rosewood plug. I had the disc x-rayed because in the dozen samples I purchased there was no relation of the plug to the writing. The x rays revealed something but it wasn't obvious ( at least not to me) until I sawed the disc in half. My engineer friend identified immediately as a crystal from the x-rays, however, but we still hadn't figured out what kind of crystal it was. The faceted crystal looked to be an amethyst., or at least it was reddish purplish in color.

recall 1999 CES at the Alexis Park. I was giving Alan Yun at SIlverline a hand. The room acoustics were really bad. The sound was trapped between the speakers. The Shun Mook dude came in and applied a few pucks to the walls which corrected the acoustic problem and provided for a wide soundstage. I was impressed at the time.
