If you want to get the best of your transport, try this.

I had used these three roller blocks under CEC TL0x for 5 years about 15 years ago and now I am using them under Jay's Audio CDT2 Mk2.

There are two different balls. If you can afford, the super ball is recommended for more effect.

With these roller blocks, transport give higher resolution and sharper focus.

I think it's effect is more than good digital cables.

But I recommend combination of roller blocks and good digital cable to get the best of your transport.

Actually no, or at least I don't think so.
What I envisage is say the CD player just gliding along on the bearings until it slides off. The bearings do not move anywhere, just rotate in the bottom housing allowing whatever is on top to move easily and readily!

It is now just a variation on what we use to move heavy equipment around in factories.

I am a more confused as to how they can work without a top piece?

Well, they are cup shaped. It could be that the photos don’t depict how deep the cups are. They are convex. And as I mentioned, the older site showed top halves that matched the bottom halves with the ball bearing in between. If you are concerned about it rolling up, over and out of the cup’s lip, then you could ask for a top halve to ease your worries.

All the best,

Nope
Not worried at all about the bearing rolling out of the cup, think you may be missing my point.
With say all 3 bearings freely spinning in the bottom cup bases, anything placed on top WILL slide on those bearings very easily.
At least that is my take on it from an engineering point of view.

@uberwaltz I know what you mean.I tried an off brand similar to rollerbearings and the component did actually slide right off of the footers.It was a cheap "knock off" product though.The rollerbearings must be a much better design I'm assuming since so many people use and recommend them.
I have my components on sand platforms.
