The Black Hole CD/DVD/Blu-ray Mat:
 Walt Disney DVD, with The Black Hole in the center |

The Black Hole CD/DVD/Blu-ray Mat is a hybrid hubcap-style mat with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Although designed to be kept permanently on an individual disc to avoid having to apply and reapply a mat with each use, The Black Hole can be transferred from one disc to another.
...
The Black Hole CD/DVD/Blu-ray Mat primarily affects digital conversion and analog stages of playback by smoothing out and reducing micro-vibrations at the disc/clamp interface. These vibrations permeate throughout a player and cause distortion in capacitors, op-amps, and microprocessors. The Black Hole CD/DVD/Blu-ray Mat delivers amazing mid/upper detail resolution, powerful bass, and great timbre. Reveals subtle nuance and details, some of which may have been previously unheard or unheard in their true timbre. (Degree of sonic improvement will vary somewhat from one component/system to another.) For use with all CD, SACD, DVD, and Blu-ray discs and players. Made with unique carbon microfiber-filled elastomer. 1.75" diameter x .021" thick. Weight: 1.1 gram.

Which CD mat to choose?
...
Herbie's The Black Hole (above) and grungebuster Black CD Mat (below) are equivalent in sonic results. The main difference between them is how they are to be used. If you wish to keep a dedicated mat on each CD full-time, then The Black Hole is ideal. If you would rather use the same mat from one CD to the next, then the grungebuster Black CD Mat is the ticket.
...
Lots of people like having both; using the grungebuster Black CD mat for everyday listening and placing The Black Hole on frequently played favorites that do particularly well with a mat.

This hand-made CD mat can be used over and over, virtually forever. Reduces grunge, glare, sibilance. Brings bass, tonal qualities and imaging into immaculate focus. Easy to use – just place it on your disc and play – lays flat and stays put without adhesive. Compatible with conventional drawer-loading and top-loading CD/SACD/DVD and Blu-ray players (not recommended for narrow slot-loaders, super-slim tray-loaders, or computer drives). To clean, rinse with tap water or dab gently with masking tape.The science involved is simple and straightforward. Micro-vibrations in the CD's spin transfer through the player's clamping mechanism and spread to sensitive electronic parts like capacitors and op-amps, where vibration-induced distortions occur. By reducing these vibrations, the grungebuster Black CD Mat allows the player to provide a more realistic rendering of the originally recorded event.

Top Loaders & Stable Platters: For use with top-loaders that have a full-size stabilizing puck – just adhere the mat full-time to the puck. No need to apply a mat to individual discs. Also for stable platter and Rigid Disc (VRDS) mechanisms. Just place the mat full-time on the platter.
