Ingress Audio Engineering


I recently discovered the benefits of isolation. Don't know how many of you are familiar with Barry Diament's  recommendations for his hip joints. The recommendation for the economical DIY set up worked well for my stereo; (lightly inflated bike innertubes, wooden egg holders supporting stainless steel balls).

A month ago I bought Isoacoustic Oreo's. 3 per component (weight appropriate) and was very impressed...at first. After several days of settling my music sounded dull and lifeless. I reread the optimal weight recommendations, re-calibrated weight limits with temporary improvements. To my disappointment I realized the Oreo's could only be compressed (especially after the suction seal was formed between them and the component or platform the component sat on). Sure they rocked in all directions, but they didn't glide in all directions. Only horizontal isolation was taking place so I coupled the Oreo's with Barry's economic hip joints which has greatly improved the SQ. I'm loving it but I still feel there's room for improvement. Mainly because I own the Hfiman HE-6SE HP's and I run them through my power amp's speaker taps. So I want Barry's upgraded hip joints under my amp. I'm interested in Ingress Audio's vibration isolation rollerblocks.

I've looked up info about their level 2's and 3's but specifics on their differences aren't given. I know Barry says the blocks should be machined smooth to a certain degree. I left a message with Ingress, but I'm impatient and wondering if perhaps the level 2's aren't as smooth as the 3's. The smoother, the greater the improvements. My question is does anyone know the differences between their Level 2 and Level 3 rollerblocks?

Heck, the Ingress Level 2 V2 is $95 CAD for a set of three cups and ball bearings. It is superior to the twice-as-much Symposium Roller Block Jr., and WAY cheaper than even a single Stillpoints foot.

Geoff, I’m going to guess the spinning platter of turntables is the argument to be made against employing roller bearings under them. CD/SACD players also have spinning platters, but of much less moving mass.

Stock interconnects, power cables, power cords, and fuses work "pretty good", yet that doesn't stop audiophiles from spending far more on them than would the cost of installing a set of roller bearings under every component in their system. I haven't tried a set with my Townshend Rock turntable, as I have a set of Seismic Pods under it. They provide isolation in even the vertical plane, the one limitation/failing of roller bearings.

"Pop quiz 

Can anyone think of a reason roller bearings might not be a good idea under a turntable?"
It would roll of the shelf.

What prize did I win?
