Well, at least after he put some Black Ravioli under them! … Yes, I said Black Ravioli … And No, we had never heard of them before either. We later discovered that they are vibration absorbing pads made by a small company in Scotland trading under the name of, Yes, Black Ravioli.

Clark (a Positive Feedback writer and proprietor of the famous Listening Studio in Boston) and some others met at Kwame’s house on the East Coast at the weekend to put the ML* Maedeups through their pace and fortunately – as it turned out – he brought some of these wonder pads with him.

For other stuff he has Beauhorns, REL subwoofers, a McIntosh player, an external DAC I failed to get the name for, the ML passive pre, and Kondo and Nanotech cables.
It all sounded…OK. Well, those amps are truly minimalist design — the parts weigh a few ounces and the gorgeous lacquer boxes bring each unit up to, oh, two pounds. Yes. Not, one should think, likely candidates for your new best footers.
Well! These Big Feet … made a considerable difference, with easily audible improvements in nearly every department. Then we added them under the player and they were good, but not perhaps worth the investment …so finally, we took that last set and placed them under the amps’ power supply, et voila! Great sound! Best I’ve ever heard for this particular cut, Tiden bara går, an old favorite. Almost as much of an improvement as they were under the amps themselves….
So I feel well-armed to go to Vegas… and California. ”
Best I’ve ever heard … we like these words. Thanks Clark.
