Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage

Could this actually:

"add the warmth and musicality you crave" for only $399.00?

Or is it just another quirky, overhyped piece of UK voodoo gear?

I have to admit this caught my eye on amusicdirect.com as I still try to tame the high end of my SCD-1, but a recommendation would sure make me feel a bit better before placing the order.

Has anyone tried it? Or any thoughts?

It works very well with older cdps prone to high frequency distortions - the wiry and gritty sound of the 80's and 90's. It is defimitely not a gimmick.

It has little or no effect (in my system)with modern, high quality cdps (which don't need correction anyway).

If you've already got tubes somewhere in the chain, it won't make a huge difference, but otherwise, in an all solid state system, it will definitely give a liitle of that tube warmth and body.
