As far as placing Rollerblock Jr.'s under my C1000C/P, I have considered it, but at this time I am focusing on the sources. Besides the MS750, and the MCD500, the only other sources I have in the main system are my MR85 tuner, which I won't isolate, and my Micro Seiki turntable which is isolated very effectively on four #3 Vibrapods. I may install Rollerblock Jr.'s under the MEN220, but for now I am stick with the two digital sources.

Might as well order enough for all of your gear now & save on shipping!...

I use their Nimbus isolation under my CD. They make excellent products. The other damping products i am aware of are from Mapleshade Audio (Brass Weights-Mapleshade). Just a thought.

Thanks Cyril... I see I have opened a monster can of worms here. I am in the middle of installing a Soloist se, and I will be getting a new PPP in a couple weeks and I want to audition the vibration tweaks. Now my problem is that both the Soloist and PPP have to have sufficient brake in time before I consider the other tweaks. I could just hold off on the install but I would probably be better waiting for the system to get back to optimum before getting the Symposium stuff............ I hate waiting and I am used to how the system sounds now without the PPP but every little change, changes things for better for worse or possibly not at all..... decisions,decisions. I love keeping the thrill of the chase alive.

Lou...the thrill of the chase is what it's all about.

I just ordered RB Jr's for my MDA, MCD and MEN220. I am not looking for dramatic, but simply, for improved. Like Dan, I am very happy and fortunate to finally be at a "Tweaking" level rather than at an expensive change level.
I ordered them several days ago so I am hoping to write a review later next week. I have a feeling that I will simply have to quote Dan's eloquent review because that is the result I was hoping for.

They have already shipped Howard, you should get them very soon.

Howard.......I believe you will be impressed with the results. Your outstanding sound system is at a level where a subtle improvement in the clarity of fine details will be auduble, and the enhanced lucidity will be appreciated. The Symposium Rollerblock Jr.'s are a worthy tweak.

Cyril, the HRS products have caught my eye; especially the "Damping Plates"

I have an inquiry into the company to pick up the line.

Thanks

Cyril.......My pleasure. I really didn't know what I would hear, if anything, with the Rollerblock Jr.'s. Although the improvement is very subtle, I found it worthwhile.
