I actually own a turntable and I actually own the PHT! Yes, they do what they claim. I'm not crazy. There is a 30 day money back guarantee if you don't agree. I sent back the SR RED fuses for a refund because I didn't hear a significant difference.
The point is there is no "listener bias" when you can return the item for a full refund. Like I did with the SR RED fuses. This is true for any product you buy that can be returned. If I bought a vacuum at Target and decided it didn't work as claimed then I simply return it. There is no bias there. I would only try to rationalize the purchase if "I'm stuck with it." My other comments are directed towards the fact I own the PHT. Nothing personal, but its easy to dismiss something you have never tried.
Hiendmuse - I have both the Blue and the Purple. I've used them on my ZuAudio 103 and various Grado Statement and Reference cartridges. The Blue is more to my liking since it presents a more fluid and spacious soundstage. The Purple is more defined and focused which may sound better in a different system or to a person looking for a different presentation. They do slightly change the tracking force of your cartridge so you will want to check that after application.
Lewm - Fair enough and thanks for the cordial response.
Philb7777 - I assume you are returning the PHT - I would if I were you. However, I also know all of my turntables/cartridges are/were set-up probably and I stand by my earlier comments on tracking force, the Blue vs. Purple and listener "bias".
