The magic of Mpingo plastics

It appears that Shun Mook Audio, a very credible and well-respected name in the audiophile world (one that's obviously in no way a fly-by-night op) has built their outstanding reputation on vending "magic" Mpingo, "extra heavy century old ebony root which were [sic] immersed in the swamps of Africa has a unique power that no other wood possesses".  That power, that would be the magic,
right?  According to Shun Mook, if you place Mpingo on (or near) any of your analog audio equipment (for instance,
on your record player, or your vacuum tubes in that nice old analog amp) it "excites the ebony molecules" and gives
"positive feedback", which apparently increases the value of a bunch of nonsensical audiophile sounding words
("sharpened focus", "enriched tonal balance", etc.).  Just don't be surprised when you crack the black wood veneer and discover it's some ABS plastic underneath.
