You think the seller would admit that they are selling snake oil only? LOL Well, it is true that they are selling those mats for the stated price Their claims are snake oil to the max Static electricity causing audibility problems in a digital medium? Wobble in the CD? Overworked error correction circuits? Why didn't they measure the error rates before and after using the mats? There is no difference Why not measure the static build up? Those bouncing lasers in the picture? LOL I am surprised the CD plays and works

Playing Devil's Advocate, I have posted a comment on their forum in "Digital Accessories & Sources" : "CD / DVD mats - reviewed in AudiophileCandy". http://www.audiophilecandy.com/forum.asp I wonder if there will be any replies - especially as they actually sell this stuff through the website....
