CD mats, any good ones?


Does anyone use a CD mat that actually "improves" the sound. I have used AudioPrism BlackLight, glows in the dark, mat but heard no improvement in sound. I have heard good things about Madrigo Orpheus Crossbow mat, recommended by Cable Co, rather expensive....looking for feedback and any positive experiences.....or is this just a tweakers imagination....Regards Sam

George, I have to laugh when I see that add for UFO, I suppose it does similar thing to Bedini Clarifier, I've read that Radio Shack bulk tape eraser accomplishes de-gaussing for reasonable cost, perhaps I should look into this.....regards Sam
Ykchu, where did you buy your mat, and could describe the improvements you hear? Any negatives? Most high end CD manf will tell you there is no need for mat.....but what would you expect from them......George my local radio shack has heavy duty bulk demagnitizer for under $40, I may give it a try, although I hear this effect is only temporary and must be done each time CD is played....regards Sam
I was able to buy used Marigo CrossBow mat from Cable Co., I will test next week and report if it is an improvement or just another "coaster" to place drinks on. From various tweak sites this mat gets most recommendations, but I am concerned that any mat on top of CD will cause increased error correction to be employed by laser, and therefore no sound improvement.....regards Sam
