Those 'magic stones' actually have some basis in 'applied physics' fact. Whether they do what they are supposed to do, is up to the listener. '-) However, you have no grounds to 'knock' them, unless you have tried them.
Whether they do what they are supposed to do, is up to the listener, "but only if you sit on them"
DUH!
Yea, a TV station actually created it in jest and a local brewery labled some of their beer Tree Frog. Fuzzy Furry Freak Bros. borrowed the name. I swear the Checkered Demon also drank the stuff.
EDIT - Yes, S. Clay Wilson also appropriated the brew.

I suppose Jack will add a low ohmic cryogenically treated resistor, encase them in "quantum heatshrink' and sell them for $500 a piece, after finishing his treatise on the subliminal effects of audiophiles hearing the words "quantum" and " cryogenically" in the same sentence.I have some of those fuses, and I gave some to Jack Bybee. We like to try such things.
Where do I buy them?
... I think that the fuses are too expensive, but potentially useful in critical situations.
... Such as when a short circuit occurs.
There's alway Old Frothingslosh, the pale, stale ale....
...with the foam on the bottom!
Those are probably the perfect upgrade for the guy that uses $1800 caps.

That didn't stop him putting a resistor in a sleeve and selling it as a "quantum device".No, Jack did not find them exceptionally revealing.
So would every physicist on Earth. Even Einstein would turn in his grave when it is revealed how some electrons are naughty and are sidelined, while the nice ones continue on their merry way through the .............................................................quantum device.IF you actually knew about Bybee devices, how they are made, etc., you would be surprised.
Instead of calling it foolish, maybe you should buy a Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme fuse and see for yourself.
You might also want to try a standard ceramic fuse instead of a glass fuse, and compare all three.
Try them on source and low power gear.
Acme Audio makes some lower priced fuses, but still expensive by comparison. $12-$15 each.
I've taken this path and the only sad thing about it is that fuses sometimes pop.
Theres no going back to standard fuses once using audiophile fuses.

I will resist your tempting offer of the proliferation of the absurd, UNTIL there is proof that something like this DOES make a distinguishable difference. Some anecdotal opinion about "sound stage" and the like is not evidence and never will be.Instead of calling it foolish, maybe you should buy a Hi-Fi Tuning Supreme fuse and see for yourself.

"Source"? The Mac Book doesn't have a fuse I can easily change, even if I wanted to (which is extremely unlikely).
If there were things I would change, it is the quality of the drivers and items where the money spent goes towards a known improvement.

Its not absurd. What absurd is that you are dismissing the simplest tweak any audiophile can perform that directly affects electronics in seconds. It doesn't have to be a $80 fuse, try a $12 audiophole fuse. Try a $3 ceramic fuse.
I understand your fear, abs. It may not be a road you want to go down.
To others, trust your ears. Let go a little.

It's not the ears that's the problem. It's the embarrassingly unreliable brain they're connected to, which is why there's virtually nothing that doesn't "work" for some number of people.
Using the "trust your ears" rule, placing photographs of yourself in your freezer will make your system sound better. Have you tried putting photographs of yourself in your freezer?

There's no going back to ordinary photos once you've tried putting them in the freezer.
