Symposium Roller Blocks vs Aurious under SACD ...

Ckturtle....Do you have any pieces of styrafoam laying around? Try the rollerblocks on about 2" of styrafoam first and see if this helps....it may or may not give you what you want but it should change the sound and won't cost you anything...just a thought...I've had some great results using homemade darumas on a granite tile and foam combo on target stands...also, do you have a butcher's block? You could also sit a block on top of the rollerballs and sit the component on top...this will also change the resonace points , good luck, I hope you get it all to sing for you....if you're using a heavy Sacd player the foam will not handle the weight, though...cheers, Bluenose

I've been very pleased with SACD, CD, and DVD-V playback. Everything'a cleaner and the sound is more realistic. I've not tested other roller-bearing competitiors.

Thanks for the information Bluenose. I decided to flip the rollerblocks completely over. The ball bearing now sits on the rollerplates, which in turn are placed on the audio rack. Seems to work! I'll listen more, but for now, it seems to be keeping the benefits while eliminating the shift toward the higher frequencies that I had earlier. Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback Ckturtle and others. Ckturtle, are the rollerplates included with the rollerblocks? Can you describe them? Does the Rollerblocks suffer from the issues caused by large/stiff power cords such as the Aurious?

Like Cturtle, I found the detail added with symposium rollerblocks under my Sony 9000es caused listener fatigue. I now have them under my Sonic Frontiers Line2se. Under the preamp they have a very different effect. Sound is fuller and soundstage opens up.
