I bought Brilliant pebbles mikro's last year at a great price on A'gon. Like in the picture on the Machina Dynamica website I attached them to the interconnects between my CDP and linestage.

I was pretty convinced I heard no change. I could have returned them for a refund but didn't. Now I'm glad I didn't.

After reading another post about where to locate gems and stones like these I took them off my CDP interconnects. I listened to see if there was a difference with them removed. Nope, not to my ears. I then put both of them on my HF amp power cable where it goes into the amp, just before the IEC connector.

Holy shit! What a difference and in my case a large improvement. The HF became clearer, cleaner and "seemingly" boosted a db or two. I went for the most sillibant female vocal CD I own and it was tamer and smoother, yet more clean, crisp and more extended.

I did the double blind wife test (let wife listen and asked if anything sounded different and did not tell her of my experience and opinion) and she said the same thing. So try them on a power cable like I did and see what happens. If you don't like them you can return them for a refund. Thanks Geoff.

I had the same experience as you did with better results on power cord inlets than ICs. I also got a nice effect on the video system's cable input with improvement of focus, better color density and blacker backgrounds.

Good to know. Glad I'm not alone.

You're part of a pretty rare breed, that's for sure.

Has anyone tried these in the breaker box ? (Be Careful).
Usually in a residential breaker box, there is plenty of room at the bottom of the box to set a small jar or two.

Thank you! I knew I was and didn't need you to reinforce that but again. Thank you.
