Herbie's Mini Grunge Buster


Hi All, Yes, I think I've read some past threads here about the Herbie's Grunge Buster Mat for CD's, all with pretty much very favorable reviews by you all, and today, while ordering some Tube Dampers from them, decided to also order the little mini Grunge Buster.

I'm unsure just how much benefit this small tweak will make, but hoping their claims are accurate. I have used a Blaclight CD Mat in the past. Has anyone tried this new little Mat from Herbie, and how did you like it?
Thanks, Mark

I've responded before and thought I should comment further. I can testify that the mat works great and has the effects as advertised. I use it with my Levinson 31.5 and it made a clearly favorable audible difference.(Quieter background, a little more dynamic, smoother highs)The differences were not subtle and easily heard. It had much the same effects on a friend's Theta transport. I've even used two with my computer when copying CDs for archival purposes, (one on the orginal disc and one for the copy)the newly copied CD with Herbie's mat sounds quieter and more dynamic than without the mat. To my friends and I it sounds much better than his previous mat and we both prefer Herbie's mat to the CD Blacklite mat that many use.
Thank you for your posts on the Grunge Buster. Based on your results, I bought one and find the same improvements. Has anyone compaired the Grunge Buster to either of the Marigo mats.
