| Final Labs Daruma Bearings, Opinons? 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... | |
| resolution audio Redkiwi have you tried Aurios MIBs under CDP?If you do not have stiff/heavy AC cord or ICs, I find them much preferable to any cones I have tried. | |

| Cones/Bearings for CD player Just to clarify about "coupling" component body to nueance shelf, I am not asking about removing stock feet, but Symposium shelfs/platforms supply small blocks of solid metal called "couplers" to bypass stock feet and directlyconnect/couple compon... | |
| Cones/Bearings for CD player Ernie (Subaru), is your neuance shelf directly contacting your metal rack, if not what is between nueance and rack? Also do you directly couple the metal body of you gear to the nueance shelf, or do you keep existing feet on gear?Same queation for... | |
| Cones/Bearings for CD player I don't care for tonal shifts caused by cones, but AuriosMIB and Symposium Rollerblocks can be very effective under CDP with internal rotation vibration. I fully agree with Albertporter. They also are close to nuetral with tonal shifting. The only... | |
