Audio Magic Monoliths .. Has Anyone Tried Them?


Jerry Ramsey's Monoliths sound really good on paper. But has any out there tried them yet? What do they sound like?

I don't have the monoliths but I have three of the std PEA modules. These things are for real. There was an extensive thread discussing the pulsed electron alignment when Jerrry first released them.
Jerry Ramsey has a dedicated following for a reason. He also has his detractors among those who haven't tried any of his products. It has been my experience that he tends to understate the impact his products can make. When he says the differences are not subtle, rest assured that is what you will find.
Sabai, My understanding is different. I understand the Monoliths are just extra large peas, but perhaps I am wrong.
As for what exactly the PEAs do, its a little hard to properly articulate. I think RAks description above captures it. When you find them turned off, you know something is wrong, and when you turn them back on, you find things turned to what somehow just sounds right.
They take a while to work. When I got the first one, I put it in place and turned it on. Didn't hear much to get excited about. I took the dog for a walk, came back and it was OMG, what happened? I proceeded to add additional peas one at a time. Three seems to do it for me. My peas aren't going anywhere.
Sabai, Sorry, I must have missed your post from the 14th. I've been asked this before, and I am at a loss to put my finger on how to describe the sonic difference these make. The best I can do, is tell you that these substantially increase the "rightness." When they are turned off, somehow things just aren't right. I know that is not very satisfactory, but that is the best I can do. I have 3 standard PEAs, which were added one at a time. This may be a good way for most people to go. I got one at retail and bought 2 used from other AG members, so this was a very cost effective tweak.
