Please note, this thread is designed to bring sanity and humour to the forum
Please buy some (from one of those places that offer refund if not satisfied) and let us all know how you get on.
Come on ... it may be fun

The most noticeable improvement is when I put them under cdp,power amp and power supply. The sound just became more vibrant and instruments are more defined. Then I've waited for another week and pulled them out once again and I felt I was hearing another system which was boring and somehow a bit lifeless.

Cno - not the comment I expected.

Which is one of the aspects that those of us outside of the Emerald Isle don't quite grasp!

One thing I can say with (almost) absolute certainty......Max means no malice, but he does enjoy the game.

Hi Ben,
IME, it took at least 5 days but it depends on the where they're being use. Much less on heavier components like amps and power supplies. Have'nt tried them on speakers though. Hope this helps..

Hi iceman,
thanks for your considered reply
Unlike some, I'm not immediately dismissive of this product and don't have my own experience so wouldn't dream of giving a comment like Max has in this thread. I have also recently bought some vibrapods for under my sub, although this is due to getting rid of our carpet and I couldn't possibly draw conclusions as to effect on SQ. I am, tho, interested in trying some out with my 40s.All that said, I am sceptical about this product, especially under SS amps and high quality, well damped CDPs. I weigh that scepticism in the balance with opinions from reasonable individuals such as yourself. I find the black ravioli website particularly poor, and found the burn in comments especially hard to fathom - which is why I asked the question.
So, when you say it takes 5 days, is that to hear any difference? Or is there further improvement over that sort of period? Has this period meant it's a fairly long process as you are experimenting on different components?
Do you plan to try them under speakers? I would be particularly interested to hear about this if you do, as this makes most sense to me how it could have an effect, and as I say I plan to do some experimenting with my 40s at some stage.
Cheers,
Ben

They were ex-dem, and I thought I heard an improvement over the first few days, but couldn't swear to it.....hence my comment (or lack of it)
