    "Many audiophiles remember VPI's first Magic Brick isolation device and the significant improvement it made to their systems. VPI now reintroduces the Magic Brick, but it's new and improved.

    The new real Mahogany wood casing houses a proprietary mass-loaded compound designed to quash chassis vibrations and soak up harmful RF and EMI noise. You'll notice improved transient response and imaging. The effects are quite amazing! Simply place The New Magic Brick on top of your component and you'll immediately hear the sonic improvements. Works great on video gear too.
