Opposite effect with cardas/Ayre CD


Hi
After hearing about it too many times i decided to give it a try.Ran the whole CD at moderate level and had the opposite effect.The system sounds gritty now,all synergy and enjoyment is lost.If anybody there had a similar experience,please let me know.I don't want to sound like a lepper here but i trully sat down to listen with some sort of positive thinking.The change in sound is unmistakable but not for the good.Hope to hear from you guys.
(System:Revel Salons/Krell SACD mk3,CJ Prem.18 & Pass X 250.5)

It works for me. However, the first time I used it, I stayed in the room while it was doing it's thing and my gear did not sound right either, mainly because the disc messed with my hearing for a while. If you were in the room, this may have happened to you as well. A day later everything was fine. My suggestion to everyone is to stay out of the listening room when using any of these types of discs!!
Overhang, Sorry you are having such a bad experience with the Cardas Disc. I think you should call MD, they are pretty good. I purchased that Marigo CD mat a few years ago and it didn't work for my system. In fact, it made it sound like your description of the Cardas disc, except my system was okay as soon as I removed the Marigo disc. I called them and told them about my less than positive experience and they allowed me to return it for a full refund! Give them a call, I am sure they will oblige you.
