RE: "no experience with myrtle blocks or any other wood blocks,,,,

Shakti stones, like the VPI Brick that preceeded them are used for suppressing RFI/EMF fields found around audio gear. HP used them for decades atop conventional EI core transformers. My first recollection was in 1980 with the Conrad-Johnson Premier One amplifier.

Today, however, the wide use of toroidal and R-core transformers with inherently lower radiation have negated their usefulness.
