I know some people swear by it, but I found the Bedini Ultra Clarifier to make absolutly NO sonic improvement. It's built cheesy & on winter days when there is a lot of static any small shock would set the damn thing off spinning on it's own. I cound't wait to get rid of it. Also isolation pucks look nice, but don't do much for anything but transports.
Biggest hype-worst tweak
I was wondering what everybody had found to be the biggest waste of time regarding tweaks-I've tried most-largely with satisfying results.The worst one for me was a Statmat (this months Hi-fi Choice has Jimmy Hughes still raving about the thing!)-a polythene floppy mat for sitting on top of your CD's-with weird markings-supposed to disperse static and make motherships land in your garden or something... Pure nonsense-had me pulling my hair out as it stuck in the tray constantly and my face twisted at the strain of trying to hear something/anything.....how my girlfriend laughed as she picked the thing up-you need help she remarked-I sent it back...and yet I fear I might have missed something Ben
