He meant the other snide comments. How could you not get that?
Besides, by including IMHO, it's rendered harmless. Kind of like this

Seriously, has anyone who ordered these suffered any ill effects? Increase in spam, junk mail, or penis enlargement ads?

You lump those Austin Powers pumps in with spam and junk mail.
I sense you are questioning the medical validity of such a product?
Mine arrived in the mail yesterday.
I plan on experimenting with them for the next week and to also get my wife involved for some blind tests.
I haven't read any of the posts in this thread since I placed my order so I can go into this without any preconceived notions.

I'm in day two and I must say my system sounds great! 
Trouble is, it did before trying the BDs as well. I'm not giving up though. I will experiment with various placement per the instructions.
Like a stated before I actually want to hear a difference. I would love to know some of these illogical tweaks could improve a systems SQ.
I'm still holding out hope for Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny too. That hasn't worked out so good however. :sigh:

I have had mine on the + side of speaker taps on amp since I got them. First impression is that they are doing something but the jury is still out.
It has been difficult to get any real good listening time in due to all the chainsaws and chippers going from all the broken and fallen trees from last weeks storms.

i am sure these change it some how,seems to help the top end abit
it does say that the samples are not as good as the bigger ones you buy so any improvement with these would be woth looking in to
well thats what i think so far, ill test more

I finally had some time to play last night after general listening for a week. First I have to point out that my system is sounding very good to me at this time due to the 3 feet of snow piled up everywhere.
Second thing is that the setup in my sig is not very bass heavy but refined and detailed with much better midrange than I was used to. (Odyssey Stratos - Dynaudio 82s) I regularly swap my Dyns in and out with the Clearfields so the Dyns have been in place for the last month or two. The Counterpoint does not drive the Dyns bass as deep as the Stratos, but there also is no muddiness or boomy characteristic.
That said, I have been rediscovering just how well recorded my Smooth Jazz collection of GRP, Warner Bros, Novus and a few other labels are. Also been spinning compilations of other very well recorded material so I am aware of the current sound. When I got my pucks, I placed them on the +side of the speaker taps on my amp and just played music as always. I did not expect much if anything since myself nor anyone else really knows how they work and what they are supposed to do. Maybe it will have more to do with the gear or cables themselves. Since the samples were free, I also felt no need to convince myself that I didn't waste my money.
So last night with my other set of ears as my helper as usual, I had my wife listen to some selected tracks with me before I did anything. She is usually good detecting that "something" changed whether good or bad. Getting behind my rack without disturbing things is not the easiest so I was not planning on a ton of A-B'ing. While a jammin tune was playing, I got back there to my amp, but sat there for a few just to get used to the sound from behind all the gear before I touched anything.
I pulled the 2 pucks off and put them in a metal Tea can and closed the lid. What I thought was that the sound got thinner and the bass was less defined and what I thought I was used to with the Counterpoint-Dyn paired up. Also as said above, it seemed that the top end was also a little constricted. Hard to put the right terms on this so everyone thinks the same thing.
After listening from both ends for another few tracks, I crawled back again to put the pucks back where I had them. I really again was hoping it was all in my head. I placed and compressed the sticky stuff back on the speaker tap on the right side. Nothing different. When I placed and squeezed the 2nd puck onto the left tap, it was as if I flipped a switch. Not night and day of course, but a definite positive change. Bass got clearer and a little more defined while the top end also did the same.
I will continue to play around but what would be interesting is if people who got samples lived close enough to double up the pucks as if they were the stronger ones for sale. I have not played with any other locations but the speaker taps for now.

BBE Sonic Maximiser
To go from Black Disks to the BBE Sonic Maximiser.
There is no magic in the BBE unit. Just a gain control and a bass boost circuit.
With your tone controls set flat, it acts like a supplemental tones control. It gives you the same results as if you adjusted you tone controls up.
I could see some usefulness on systems using pre-amps without tone controls. It would give you some tone adjustability, especially in the bass section.

I'm a skeptic on this one, but as It's free I figured...why not give it a try?
I have experienced real differences from something that was bagged big time on an audio forum a while ago, and it had real physics behind it's design....the detractors were definitely wrong that time.
So I'll try this one myself and see how it goes, and I love anything that's free, hmm..."free herpes" well almost anything
Thanks for posting this, Joe

My comment comes from several of the cheap tweaks that I have experimented with over the years, that have improved my systems. If I had not viewed these endeavors as an open minded hobbyist, those improvements would never had taken place. This was a factual comment based on my experience, and not a comment about others BTW
The latter comments were from my moderator perspective.
