Like much of Mapleshade's products they are not for klutzes (read normal people). For those of us who are a bit more handy, I find the tube anchors to be the best I've tried and do make the sound better, lowering noise floor, removing congestion, tightening bass and revealing more tranparancy. Unlike most, they also act as grounded shields, if you choose to use the straps, contributing to the above.

Aren't you a Mapleshade dealer?
Yes, as you know. I'm getting a bit sloppy about including the "requisite" disclaimer. IMHO, despite popular opinion, that fact doesn't necessarily make me any different than anyone else here.
Thanks Audiofeil,for this tip and also on his other post which is biased and useless.Nobody needs a less than upfront dealer here,Bob
Usblues,

I have no intention of hiding that I'm a dealer. I just feel my experience is just as valid and actually no more biased than anyone else here. I post here to share my experience and learn what I can. I call em like I see em and have plenty of folks who share my experience. I understand the assumption of guilt but bear in mind it is an assumption on your part. No harm meant and no harm taken.
