To Us, it's the music that matters.
We believe the finest audio systems should bring you closer to the performance, never further from it.
Black Ravioli products are designed to reduce unwanted electrical and mechanical interference, helping reveal greater clarity, coherence and musical engagement.
Understanding our approach
Our use of the word "Ground"
One of the questions we're asked most frequently is:
Remove the noise, reveal your music.
Modern life floods your home with invisible electromagnetic noise.
It blurs the texture, flattens the dynamics, masks the natural space between notes – all quietly degrading even the finest hi-fi systems.
The music was always there... Without the noise you can hear more.
Testimonials
“They (NLGF) are spectacularly good.”
“They take you further into the music and sounds have a wonderful 3D quality because of the improved separation and drastically lowered noise floor.”
“Realism in spades.”
John Norton
“Music sounds tremendously coherent, dynamic and exciting, with huge inner detail. The separation of highly dynamic events while background and vocals remain steady is a signature quality of the Raviolis.”
Martin Taylor
“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.
Julian Smith
“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
“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!”
Alan Sircom, HI-FI+ Magazine

BR-1200 Technics Series Grounding
Every Black Ravioli product begins with a question: what does the music sound like when interference is removed?
To find out, we needed a capable reference-grade platform. We chose the Technics SL-1200, an icon of precision engineering.
What we discovered shaped our entire Black Ravioli Next Level range.
BR1200NL Review
"…an altogether more moving musical experience."
A five-minute read from Editor-in-Chief David Price on why the Black Ravioli BR1200NL package received StereoNET's Applause Award.

Black Ravioli products are fundamentally designed to lower noise and heighten emotional response to musical reproduction.
The pad set the standard and we have continually developed the concept.
