Marigo Labs Signature 3-D stabilizer.


Guys, I've just aquired this little tweak on E-Bay. I'd heard a lot about it, but have been disappointed before. I figured I could sell it for the same price if I did'nt like it. Wow, it's staying, just on the first track, the difference was night and day and I'm no Golden Eared Audiphile. I can'nt clearly say what was'nt better, but stage depth, dynamics and imaging showed clear gains. I've tried other mats from Ringmat and Blacklight and they might have shown a marginal gain, not really worth the effort.

Now clearly any tweak is system dependent, I use a Shanling CDT-100, modded by CPT Acoustics over here in the UK and a great job they did, but this is a clear further step forward at far less cost. It's my impression that the Shanling is a great player, but if there is a weakness, it may be the transport, so perhaps other players would'nt show as great a gain.
One forgets the benefits of prior upgrades, but I would compare the gain to adding an Acoustic Zen Silver Ref interconnect, at far greater cost of course.
System:
Origin Live Resolution/Illustrious?Koetsu Rosewood Signature
Shanling CDT-100
Conrad Johnson Premier 17 Pre
Pass Lab Aleph 3 Power
Living Voice Avatar speakers
Acoustic Zen Cable loom.
Disclaimer: I have no connection with Marigo or it's distributors.
I recommend that you give this mat a try. I think it's $199 in the US. A lot of money, but a great deal of gain, at least in my system

Gfroman,
You stated that you believe the Marigo is the best digital cable in the world. I'm using the Apparition 5.7 balanced cable in my system and agree that it is an excellent cable, maybe even one of the best. However, I'm not prepared to state that it is the best digital cable in the world. This implies that I've listened to every digital cable available. And while that may be interesting (and probably illuminating as well) it would be close to impossible.
