Herbie’s Super Black Holes


How did I live without them? Finally, the veil has been lifted and I can hear the full, rich sound of which I once only dreamed. If only the joy I’m feeling wasn’t being matched, if not overpowered, by my weeping about all the shallow, empty years I endured before St. Herbert set me on the true path.

I have a Theta Miles CDP which uses the pioneer platter. it still benefits from better footers. In my case I use my DIY roller block. Might try springs to see if they are better. but the roller blocks are a very good upgrade

Sounds promising. I have some of Herbie's Dots and would like to try the Black Hole.    

What CD player are you using it in? 

 

My solid-but-fancy NAD C 538. The SBH is said to be compatible with pretty much everything except some players with exotic loading systems. Mine is a standard drawer loader. 

Paul,

I would have sent you a PM, but couldn't find a way to do that. Would you mind explaining how this thing works? Not the "science," Herbie's site attempts to explain that. But: how do you apply it to the CD? Does it get applied to both sides (are there two pieces to a single "Black Hole"?) How re-usable is it? If there's no adhesive (and Herbie's site says there isn't), how does it stay on a spinning CD? Is there any risk of it comming off and getting stuck in the disk drive? Anything else you can add of a practical nature? I'm very curious to give it a try; at $35, there's not a lot to lose. Unless it runs the risk of destroying my CDP.

Thanks.
