Engineering can explain what Black Ravioli does, but only your ears (and those of our customers) can tell you what it means. Read some of our real-world responses from discerning listeners who simply pressed play and heard the difference.
BR Grounding Feet
“After a couple of weeks, the system has continued to improve. All the things I talked about - heightened resolution, deeper soundstage, incredible dynamics – are there but now in an even calmer presentation. Music sounds tremendously coherent, dynamic and exciting, with huge inner detail.”
Martin Taylor, Customer, 2025
Customer reviewBR Grounding Feet
“These grounding feet significantly lower the noise floor, allowing me to enjoy rich timbre and dynamic expression even at listening levels 8dB lower than before. The emotional engagement remains intact—if anything, it’s deepened.”
John Cahil, Customer, 2025
Customer reviewBR Grounding Feet
“Straight away there was a whole new layer of musical information coming through. The music had a better flow, increased bass weight and more textured. This increased over the next 24 hours or so, the flow became better and slightly more relaxed.”

“The BR Record Ground is one of those subtle things that brings you closer to an absolute analog, non-mechanical, non electronic way that once you experience it, you can't go back...”

“It’s the combination of improving the sound without changing the sound that is a winner. The Black Ravioli Record Ground does that well, and you notice its absence when removed – always agood sign!”

“Trying the Record Ground was a revelation from the first needle drop. Every piece of music was presenting its self like never before, clearer, more spacious. Instruments sound more alive, backgrounds are closer.
John Snedden, Customer, 2022

“We’re huge fans of Black Ravioli products... the best thing about a set of these pads is that you don’t know you need them until you have them and take them away.”

“I’m very impressed with the improvement brought about by the BR Black Hole USB module. Among the most cost-effective enhancements I’ve experienced.”

BR Big Foot
“The Big Foot made a huge difference for the better underneath almost every vacuum-tube component we placed them. Backgrounds became darker, focus increased, and the music became more involving.”
