CD Mats -- do they work? Are they dangerous?


I'm curious about these. There's a new carbon fiber one that looks interesting (carbon fiber of course having every magical property known to man, and a few we don't even know about yet). Any thoughts on whether or not we should all be using these, whether their snake oil, and how safe it is to use them in our high end CD players and transports?

I had a De Mat once upon a time. I found it did make a difference - and not a subtle one (relatively speaking, of course).

Bass tightened up and seemed to go a tad lower. A better sense of space around individual instruments/ sounds was provided (better delineation of sounds).

I stopped using it, however, when it jammed my CD player with a particular disc.
