On my systems they make a meaningful difference and well worth using. Just can’t justify spending big on the top brands. Best success for me has been using them on speakers. I placed them between my Fritz speakers and stands with 3 springs and a 10 lb weight on top of speaker. Nice improvement to bass and overall sound stage. Also have used them under my GE Triton towers with similar results. Using on my Amp, Dac, streamer, transport seem to help to a lesser degree. Time will tell..
