Mpingo Discs, $50 each in 1994
Spatial Control Kit, $450

I just bought myself a sweet block of iron dense ebony for $15 that is enough for at least 6-8 DIY Mpingo discs. Will they do anything at all? Probably not- or at least not in the way they say. But I won't be out much either for giving them a try. I'd speculate they might be useful as feet under my turntable or CD player, but I am planning on making up a full tuning kit (with maple L-Rack) and will report back to the Forum. If it takes me more than around 20 minutes per disc I'd be surprised so the cost for hand-made DIY is substantially less than the retail version (by about 20x!).

Stay tuned, heheh- this could be fun.

Check out their patent for their Mpingo footer. I've seen and worked with a lot of patents in my time and I have to say this one is the the thinnest on documentation or claims I've ever seen...
