Black Raviolis


Anybody try these yet? Do they work well with tube gear?

Buckwheat pillows are used for a threefold purpose.

Sleeping.

Audio isolation.

Breakfast meal.

Beat that you Black Ravioli suckers.
Glory- The Sobakawa Pillow is stuffed with buckwheat HUSKS. Not very tasty first thing in the morning, and BOY do they ever get caught in the teeth! =8^)
Bumping. Has anyone actually tried these under equipment?
Several positive reviews on these.
Yeah, I had these under my tube monos (Cary 300SE's) for a couple of years. I took a lot of care with vibration control. The amps were on top of 3" thick hardwood blocks I made, which were in turn supported by cones. The black raviolis sat between the amps and the wood blocks. The tubes all had dampers on them. The net effect was very positive. I put the raviolis in last and did notice an incremental improvement. I've changed my whole setup now and they are just sitting around ... forgot about them till you brought it up! Hope that helps.
I like them a lot and there are upgraded versions now with corian between them to improve performance.
I use a range of footers for different purposes and carried out a recent shootout with my ears only, comparing with Stillpoints and HRS. I found them difficult to separate from stillpoints, which er on the bright side of neutral, in my system, wheras the stillpoints are more truly neutral. Both were clearly better than HRS , in my opinion, which I found a little on the laid back side of neutral.
It really is suprising to me, not only that footers work, but have there own sonic signatures.
