Well, I did not hear much difference at all when I placed this on a number of records. There was perhaps a slight de-emphasis on vocals, so they were less prominent, however, I prefer more prominence. And that was about it. It does look cool though! I have a high end system and I can clearly hear differences when I swap cables or components, but not much with the StillPoints. I will be returning this item. It did work better however than the Mobile Fidelity Super Heavy Weight that muffled the sound. It was easy to hear!
