Re: Final Lab Daruma 3-II Isolation Feet with SCD-777ES (long)

Boris, in my experience the stiff power cord/speaker cable/interconnect issue is definitely a tough one with Aurios, but not impossible to deal with. Once you've gotten the Aurios in place under a component, dress all cables out the back and set the cables on the "elevators" of your choosing so that the cables are coming out at the roughly the same height as the cable sockets on the back of the component. This method will work well with components at or near ground level. Components on racks (or higher off the ground) require the use of standoff materials or suspension via strings/wires to get the signal and power cables to come straight out the back.

One thing to also remember: although getting a component to float very freely on Aurios is the ideal situation, at a minimum you're still going to get the benefit of the MIB's static isolation capabilities even when the MIBs are not moving that well. I would say that as long as you get some sustained motion (even a little) from the component when you poke it horizontally, you're getting 80%/90% of what the bearing can do. As with anything else, the last percentage points of performance can take the most time and resource to obtain. Fortunately, that's an option that you don't have to exercise, if you don't want to!
