Hi Guys,

I'm looking to try one of these just out of curiosity to see what's what - but would appreciate knowing if anyone here has tried either of them?, and if so?, is there one design I should be looking to narrow it down to?, as they vary in prices, yet are still within my means, I'd like to hear from those of you whom might've actually tried one or the other.

It's just the tweak head in me, that's always trying to be open-minded to the possibilities that some of these things are more then " Snake Oil " as some of the naysayers like to refer to anything other then zip cord or standard cabling that comes with ones components out of the box, when I in fact believe in cabling looms - isolation devices/platforms - properly built amp/speaker stands and the likes - and am always looking for ways to enhance what I've instead of constantly looking to upgrade components just for the sake of small differences in sound that sometimes are nothing more then lateral movements at best.

Please share your tales.

Thanks in advance,
