Anyone using the Mad Scientist magic tubes? How do you use them..what is the effect?
Follow Ups:
I tried a free pair, and couldn't hear any difference. I sent them to someone else and he could. So I am agnostic at the mo.
I've heard systems that they make little difference on, and I've heard systems where they make a substantial difference. Trick is to leave them in place for a few days, listen, then remove and listen again.
Some people have told me that they think they take 4 weeks to sound their best. I don't know. Nothing stays in place 4 weeks on my systems.
If you tape them to prunes and put them in your listening chair you will get more air In your soundstage.
....and dried fruit work quite well on their own. :--}
Is that how you ingest them?

I got the free samples when they first came out. I tried them on interconnects and speaker cables. Didn't notice much if any improvement. I understand Mad Scientist has increased the substance inside the tube since then which might yield more improvement. There might be other locations that benefit from them I didn't get around to try also.
Thanks....I have the free sample....I felt it was a very mild improvement after spending hours finding that effective place. I also have some discs discs that I'll move around. I just got new speaker cables that is bringing out things I never heard before, so I'm experimenting for an even greater lift.
For an even greater lift make sure they are lifted off the floor!
I felt it was a very mild improvement after spending hours finding that effective placeMy experience too was that the freebie disks made little difference, if any, when used as you describe. They were far more effective configured as a rudimentary power cord - see link for details.

Ryelands....actually no matter where I applied the cupcake-like discs, they slightly removed upper frequencies, and kind of slowed down the presentation. Ultimately I had to remove them. The tubes are a bit more effective when used on the output of the preamp to the power amp, but I haven't settled in to the effect that it does have. Sometimes I think it beneficial, sometimes not....the effect is subtle anyway.
I have several MTs and find them - and MSA products generally - very effective. Search for "Magic Tubes" on this forum to find several comments, some of them (shock, horror) helpful.
