I’ve used Marigo CD stabilizers for many years. Each time I utilize them in my system, I have never been disappointed with the improvements their technology has added to my system.
i guess you could say I have been totally satisfied with the quality they brought to my system.
My only problem has been that I was satisfied with the upgraded sound until I tried the latest product Marigo was marketing. There lies ‘the rub’. Marigo’s latest offering to improve disc stabilization technology improved the sound in my system in so many ways, I had to add it to my system so I could replay my CD collection and be able to hear the many nuances of tones and frequencies I had been missing.
But that’s nothing new in Audio. The “tweeters” who have sensitive hearing, work with products to improve them for Audiophiles who also have sensitive hearing.
But tweeting resonances is a whole other ballgame. You must be very careful!
The last time I upgraded my CD damper, Ron sent a few different sized black dots for damping for me to try in my system.(Without definitive instructions where to place them)
I feel that I know a lot more than most Audio hobbyists about the gains that can be realized when an Audio system/room is properly treated for rogue vibrations. But Ron’s materials that he advocates to use for this purpose, are much stronger and can be over effective when not used properly. I guess I should thank Ron because of the information his damping materials passed on to me.
I don’t want to bore you so I will pass this information to whoever dares to take their system to a new level using Marigo’s damping materials.
I took four of the little dots that Ron sent me and placed them on the four corners of the main pc board of my amplifier.
I will tell you the results of doing this. The treble and the midrange frequencies were fine.
But the mid-bass and the bass frequencies were completely gone! FROM PUTTING FOUR LITTLE BLACK DOTS ON A PC BOARD! I COULDN’T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED!
My suggestions are to avoid this dilemma and to only perform one damping upgrade per every six weeks. If you try to add damping upgrades to your system more often, you won’t be able to properly identify the subtle nuances affecting each area that your system is generating.
Also, follow Ron’s Instructions about where to place his damping materials. But follow what I am telling you about waiting six weeks between damping attempts. No matter what Ron tells you.
Every system is different. Go slowly but surely. Don’t rush or I promise that you will be disappointed. Damping is more of an exercise of Art and patience. Go slowly and possibly you will discover new ways to bring your system to a level you never thought possible.
But give you ears time to adjust to the new vibrations(or lack of vibrations (colorations you weren’t aware of before you began this project) Take your time- don’t rush- and you may discover you already have the system that you always desired!
Good Luck!
