ahem -- in full and complete disclosure, I
do have a pair of their original (and then signature) product, the Black Discus, which I now see is an
electromagnetic damper.
So (and, again, I am
all about disclosure) the
pair I have aren't the full-zoot, big money for-profit
Black Discus (which looked kind of like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups made of some unspeakable black stuff). Rather, I have a pair of the skinny
eval versions -- but this is
significant, because these were provided
absolutely free -- postage and all -- from New Zealand.
With some embarrassment, I will note that I
did indeed evaluate them, on a pair of (confession's good for the soul)
Anti-Cables loudspeaker cables.

And, yes, I used them on my (
oy vey...) single-ended direct heated triode amplifier. SNAKE OIL BINGO!
I do still use, and very much enjoy the amplifier (see notes about
disclosures above) -- but not the discuses (disci?) nor the Anti-Cables, either.
But they are still in some photos that I drag out occasionally.
