Vibration control with Neuance and Mana

I was finally able to install a state of the art vibration control and dampening system for the front and gear (the new Lindemann d 680 SACD/CD) of my father’s system in Germany (2 pairs Double Kronzilla mono blocks with Imagine electrostatic speakers)
I bought 2 Neuance shelves and a so called Mana Phase 4 Table. The Mana is a rack system made in England and Neuance is a shelf made in particular for racks like that, made by the US Neuance company.
I must say that the Lindemann front gear of my father awakened to new life. It was standing in a normal glass-steal rack and although the system never sounded bad, I knew it could do a lot better. After having assembled the Mana Phase 4 Table in a double Neuance arrangement, I was ready for the first listening test:
My first impression was that the soundstage was not only wider, but much deeper. The violin was not playing so much in your face anymore, and it was a lot easier to pinpoint each instrument in its virtual space and the system also lost a lot of its slight edginess.
The edginess which is left stems from the fact that the 4 monoblocks are still standing on a concrete floor – what a sin! But we have four Ohio XL amp stands coming, which are made by Silent Running and these stands will take care of the remaining vibration problems.
But I can only advice anybody who means serious business with vibration controlling his front gear to look at a Mana- Neuance system. You will be amazed. The improvement was considerable in my father’s system, and I am sure it will also be in yours.
