A New Use for VPI Flattening Ring

I was minding my own business listening to a CD, when I put the VPI ring on top of my Ayre amp. I couldn't believe it, but there was a new found focus...a clarity, an ease that wasn't there without the ring. The timbre, etc. remained exactly as before....just the increased and welcomed focus. What's up??

The analog molecules from the ring started a battle with the solid state ones.
They won.

People were putting bricks - actual house-building bricks, on their components back in the 80's, claiming it helped the sound. Never tried it myself, but perhaps there's something to it.
