Vx700, all that I can say is proceed slowly as your experience may be like mine. With the exception of one cut up sheet, I sold all of my ERS cloth. I am going to try Freemand's suggestions today or tomorrow.

Thank you my friend, as you said I would definitely proceed slowly, 1 piece is more than enough to try, the thing is for me- the best improvements are typically room treatments or new equipment. Most tweaks (for me) are such an insignificant improvement that I don’t spend money on them; I would rather spend the cash on a CD, SACD or DVD.

But some of our fellow members enjoy tweaking, so for those that do I think this is one worth looking at and I support there attempt at this tweak as opposed to some of the snake oils out there (like polished river rock stones)

Vx700, if by polished river stones, you mean Brilliant Pebbles, I can say that in at least some circumstances, I have found them useful. I am using none now and I am using no ERS cloth now. In my experience I cannot place the ERS cloth as anything other than snake oil, but this apparantly is not the case with some other people.

Freemand, I installed two pieces of ERS within the panel feeding my dedicated lines. I put a 5 x 6" piece in the top above the breakers and a 4 x 6" piece on the door above the circuit breakers themselves.

I would not describe the effect as substantial, but it is very worthwhile. The image is higher, the bass more defined, and the noise floor lower.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. This is the first instance I have had supporting the benefits of ERS paper.
