In Reply to: Does anybody have better results with any other footers vs. Rollerblocks Jr. under CD player? posted by carcass93 on July 19, 2010 at 09:06:40:
It seems natural to assume that more isolation from vibration or more dissipation/absorption of vibrational energy is better than less, but, that is not necessarily the case. I once took part in an experiment with increasing levels of vibration dampening through the use of Symposium platforms. It is clear that the more expensive platforms offered more isolation/dampening. For certain components "more" meant a drier, more analytical and unpleasant sound. That was the case with an Aero Capitole CD player. The final "improvement" of putting rollerballs on to an Ultimate platform was unbearably lean and unnatural sounding.
With my own CD player (Naim CD555), the better platforms and rollerballs resulted in very little change in the sound. I got better results using these products under my linestage.
I would consider these kinds of products as "tuning" devices, they can change the sound, but the right amount of change has to be decided by ear.
