The 1.1 and 1.2 are self-centering. The 1.1 are no longer available, but Music Direct has been advertising the 1.2 Classic for $150, but the supply was "limited", whatever that means? (I'd say "buy now you fool!") Be careful when buying used, ask questions to make sure the seller has in fact the 1.1/1.2. I've got the original and the newer ones, the originals are a #!*$ to level! The newer self-centering are a breeze to set up.
a question about Aurios Media Isolation Bearings
What version of the MIB's is (supposedly) self-centering? I can't seem to determine this from their website.
The reason I ask is, I've used a set of the original Daruma's under a CDP, and not only was the set up sort of tedious, they didn't "stay set". Whenever I pushed a button on the CDP, even cautiously, it slightly disrupted positioning. And if anybody else (heaven forbid) used a button on it, well, it was REALLY off. I went back to cones.
I'd love to hear which version MIB was easier to set up and/or stayed in position better. Or if some other brand of ball bearing type of isolation (Rollerblocks, the newer Daruma's, etc.) are better than Aurios for staying put. Thanks.
