Any experience Good/Bad with Marigo Audio mat/dots


Greetings all, I just got a Marigo Audio 3-D Signiture CD stabilizer mat and a set of 8 VTS Tuning Dots (6mm black).
I plan on using the dots on my CEC transport and MF DAC.

Looking for comment/concerns/etc from anyone who has any information/experience with these tweaks? Thanks

The Marigo Audio 3-D Signature CD stabilizer mat permits the hearing of more beautiful detail in the recording. The subtle cues that enhance a sense of reality become more obvious. You find out there is unveiling of a lot more information in familiar recordings which is a lot of fun.
There is much more texture to voice(s) and instruments(s) so that you hear subtleties of how music is created by the performers.
However, I do not use exclusively with my most revealing setup as there is not enough suppression of digital glare in less ideal recordings. Apparently, this particular setup is resistant to getting all necessary help from the Marigo mat.
In this particular system, in order to minimize the bright or edgy recordings I use Herbiesaudiolab.com Grungebuster mat (now up to version 2.2).
While listening with Herbie's CD mat is not quite as rich in micro details it is an astonishing low price bargain and wonderful overall performer, with the side benefit of being the best mat in my limited experience to reduce digital brightness or glare in my version of a revealing system. It sounds plenty great with most recordings so that many might not ever miss using their Marigo Audio mat.
In my other systems, the Marigo mat does seem to do everything right - reducing the problems of digital glare and brightness, along with its above mentioned superior qualities. Like much in audio, try to listen in your own system(s) where it really matters.
I have successfully used the bigger Marigo Dots designed to minimize the effects of too much window glass in a listening room. Easy to distinguish before and after.
After is superior.
