Final Labs Daruma Bearings, Opinons?


At the HE show this weekend I saw some great looking bearings(vibration control). They retail for $99. At a third of the price of the Aurios and Symposium offerings they look very attractive. Does anyone have any experience with these or even better comparisons with the Aurios, Symposium, etc... devices.

Actually the Darumas are more similar to Symposium RollerBlocks, Aurios MIBs are a bit different. I have both Rollerblocks and MIBs and if very carefully set-up (perfectly level) the MIBs are slightly better, in both cases heavy/stiff AC cords and ICs can make set-up hard/impossible.

It is very hard to find Darumas, but for the price they would be a good start to see if you like the effect. Then
you could try MIBs for upgrade. I basically agree with Jim
above, this type of isolation is used to greatest effect
under CDP which has internal rotational vibrations to deal
with.
