When I have my 38-116 Playing, It sounds better if it is put up against a wall. The bass is much more present. Do not know if the clarifiers do anything. I think it was a gimick Philco came up with to compete with RCA as RCA used the sound tubes in their sets.. Just my thinking.........what do you guys say?
