Good grief, "Chevdo," it's hard keeping up with your mistakes
in this thread. No. Art Dudley did not "defend" the "Shakti
Stones," vehemently or otherwise, in his column in the
November 2004 issue of Stereophile (which you can read at
http://www.stereophile.com/artdudley...ng/index1.html).
Instead, poked fun at James Randi (nee Randall Zwinge) by
issuing his own challenge and upping the ante from Randi's
"million dollars" to "a hundred billion zillion dollars."
Strangely, Randi has yet to accept this challenge. :-)
