Symposium Roller Blocks vs Aurious under SACD ...


Anyone AB the two isolation devices? Anyone compare both devices using Tungsten bearings?

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.
Mikeg,
The rollerplates are stainless steel plates which are included in the Symposium Rollerblock set. It allows you to place these smooth surfaced plates between your component and the ball bearings, should you find the underside of your component lacking the smooth texture that is required, for the proper movement of these ball bearings.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you where, but I do remember reading somewhere, that the Rollerblocks do deal better with larger/stiffer cords than the Aurious do.

I am thinking about returning the Rollerblocks that I've purchased since I find my CDP sounding better without them.
