Statmat
Sound specialist Ringmat Developments is
proud to announce what it claims to be the biggest advance in CD
reproduction since compact discs were introduced in 1983. The STATMAT
electrostatic control
system is designed to enhance the reproduction quality of CD recorded
music. STATMAT eliminates the problem of low-level voltage surges, by
evening out the electrostatic charges which build up during play. This
results in greater resolution and separation, a wider, deeper
soundstage, enhanced power and dynamics and an overall cleaner, crisper
sound. The size and shape of a standard compact disc, STATMAT is simply
placed on the CD in the tray. Unlike competitive products, no treatment
of the disc itself is necessary. Moreover, its lightweight material
ensures that the transport mechanism does not suffer from any
additional weight.
"..What I heard was impressive, though
Statmat is a tricky product to compare on an A/B basis, as it seems to
have a temporary conditioning effect on both disc and player The kind
of improvement made by Statmat is hard to describe in a few  words. The sound isn't just smoother, sweeter or
sharper. Rather, the music itself seems to change, becoming
rhythmically more cohesive, and altogether more purposeful and
coherent. Statmat increases the sense of depth and space around voices
and instruments, expanding dynamic range to give more light and shade,
so tonal colours are subtler and more varied."
Jimmy Hughes (Hi-Fl choice, December 1997)
"I can do no more than this to describe to you my perceived benefits of
the CDi Statmat in my system. At 28 Euros (16 Euros for an upgrade),
little more than the cost of a CD, the latest Statmat incarnation
imparts an extra degree of involvement to the reproduction."
