A gentleman up here in Canada makes some very nice roller blocks for a decent price. I'm thinking of buying 2 sets of 3 to try under my DAC and pre. I'm using BDR cones right now under my preamp only.

What do people here use? Research shows the roller block method seems to be the most effective, and looks very interesting. Looking
For cost effective devices Under 100 bucks per item. My rack is filled with sand, dynamat on cross bars and under shelves. With thick bamboo boards Under each component.

    In roller derby, when you block an opponent so your teammate can pass them and score a point. This concept does not apply to Rollerball, wherein points are scored by placing the steel ball into the goal hole.

    I use blocks of wood. I roll them in place
    Gustard X26 Pro DAC
    Belles 21A Pre modded with Mundorf Supreme caps
    B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks refreshed and upgraded
    Polk SDA 1C's modded / 1000Va Dreadnaught
    Wireworld Silver Eclipse IC's and speaker cables
    Harman Kardon T65C w/Grado Gold. (Don't laugh. It sounds great!)

    Is it ingress Audio engineering? I have some of his roller blocks and I really like them. The BDR cones are very good, I have those also. For the price I think they are worth trying. I would put his against symposium roller blocks any day of the week, and Mikes are only a fraction of the price.
