While I appreciate your enthusiasm I don't believe that is an entirely accurate description.
The Stillpoints ERS can be fixed to the interior of component cabinets and it can also be positioned anywhere without fixing it in place - permanance is not a requirement for use. The product is sold with and without a sticky backing. It can be placed just about anywhere, not just under a component.
Stillpoints ERS can be ordered in different sizes and/or cut to a size requirement. The HARApad is hard acrylic and A'zon comments suggest it cannot be cut.
The HARApad is designed for laptops: "protects the laptop user from harmful electromagnetic radiation and EMF" and "The HARApad uses lead- and tungsten-free, military-grade electromagnetic radiation shielding to attract the extremely low frequency (ELF) radiation emitted by laptop computers." Do audio components emit ELF radiation? Using specific materials does not make the product "military grade".
ERS is meant for EMI/RFI, known issues to audiophiles. The HARApad advert does not mention EMI/RFI.
I have not used the HARApad, but A'zon comments suggest it doesn't measure very well with a Trifield EMF/RFI meter. I'm not saying it does not work, just that there are other options from a well known company.
