Various Bearing Isolation Devices


After you have spent a fortune on Audio components, interconnects/cables, AC power cord/line conditioner, room treatments, and even good equipment rack......playback isolation is critical for good sound. You can only go so far with cones and soft compond feet. The new bearing designs such as Symposium Rollerblock and Aurious MIB, seem to offer the next step by offering horz and vert isolation while simultaneously draining vibration from component to base, which should be one of many aftermarket products by Symposium, Townsend, Rosanite etc which absorb vibration. CD players and turntables have motors which develop internal rotational vibration which must be drained off.........I want to buy a base and bearing supports, anyone have some feedback on what is a good set-up, regards Sam

I use the symposium platforms under all my equipment, which includes CJ premier 12 tube amps. I have roller blocks under my CAT preamp, my Meridian cd player and the power supply for the CAT. They definitely make a big improvement with everything. I am also planning on getting a divided platform for my Basis turntable. The only problem I ever had with the symposium, was when I used it under the audible illusions 3a. This preamp seems to use its internal vibrations to add body to the music. They are definitely worth a try.
