Symposium Roller Blocks vs Aurious under SACD ...

I just got a set of Rollerblocks with the Tungsten Steel Balls, in the mail the other day. I was very excited and looking forward to giving them a try under my CDP. My first impressions were, Wow! more volume, more detail, more air. However, after listening for a few more minutes, it was becoming apparent that with the increased detail, came a shift towards a brighter sound and fatique. I tried repositioning the blocks into numerous configurations, but without successfully eliminating the effect. What was once a musical system was now a bear to listen to. I also tried it under my tubed amp. Now the Rollerblocks are just sitting on the side. I'm contemplating returning them. Does anyone have some suggestions!

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.

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.
