Its magical effect (and psychological effect too).

Its price.

I purchased the 2-tier table after reading some articles in Hi-fi mags (European mags) about the company's phenomenal products.
Bought it, set it up, and listened to my system.
I didn't know what really happened, but my system sounded differently. But in a POSITIVE way. Or maybe it's just an emotional feeling due to its stiff price.
But I like it, and always recommend using it to friends.
Again, it is like MAGIC!

*** For sound: I'd give 5-star, but overal value it's a 4-star ***

This is a stand that truly deserves its reputation. The Reference is the basic iteration of a very flexible, modular system that dares you to go as high as you can. While Mana says more is more, I have been getting very satisfying results from just the Reference table alone for the last three years. Its qualities stem from the ability to present the music in a more vivid, three-dimensional way that takes you closer to the live event. No more hi-fi, electronic sheen, no more guesswork. The music is in your face, and you'll love every minute of it. If your source component, particularly a turntable, is of a high quality, the Mana will bring out its full potential.
