rlb, thanks for your report. As the reviews are coming in, a LOT of people are saying the blacks cut through the mix better than the brown material that both Blue Chip and we sell. That kinda surprises me, but that's what people are saying. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience of our products with the other members here. That's what it's all about.
For curious members, there's a new thread on the main board with more reviews and commentary from new owners of the black. There are also some comments from a few of our prototype players in that thread, some of whom have been playing that material for more than a year:
