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.

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

I have to give my disclaimer, I am a distributor for Marigo Labs.
After being a true believer in Marigo Labs for years, I have since become a dealer of their remarkable products.
I still believe their 5.7 Digital Cable is the best in the world.
I am using their new Signature CD Mat on my Theta Compli Universal player and I still get better results with the mat than without. Don't ask me how to explain how it works, but whatever it is doing it is clearly better! On DVD's the video is also much better.
Let me know if any one is interested in the Marigo Signature Mat.

I bought one of the first of these mats directly from its creator (for $199), and I've never been disappointed. It is well worth the asking price. I've seen them for $149 on introductory offers. Across-the-board sonic gains, with no downside.

I have never used the Marigo Signature 3-D stabilizer, however; I am not surprised it works. I have used the Marigo Apparition parallel line filter and their tuning dots for years and abslutely loved the results.
