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

Have you ever tried the Audioprism stabilizer that you hold under a light for 1 minute and then put in your player. The Audioprism gives off a green glow.
I have tried the Audioprism years ago, in 1996 when it came out. I found it to be basically a waste of time and money. Yes, it will work in a top loading machine. I have used the new Marigo on my computer to load some CD's into my music library and to burn a fresh CD as well. The results are fantastic. This mat is not thicker than a couple of sheets of paper, not problems with height.
I have the Oppo 95 and it works just fine. I do use these supplied bumpers at the rear of the transport.
