glass tends to slide around if knocked, collects dust

Outstanding product, the single biggest upgrade I have made is installing Mana stands. The sound frame is a bargain & a good way of getting a taste of things to come. Contrary to rumour/myth Mana stands are very easy to set up, just time consuming. The sound frame should take about 5 - 10 minutes to set up correctly

Well made and finished. Can be accurately levelled without sticking bits of paper, cardboard, etc. under it.

Aesthetic catastrophe. An absolute dog to set up (8 different spikes to adjust). And most importantly, doesn't work (MINE didn't!)

The enormous enthusiasm (verging on fanaticism) that Mana seems to inspire encouraged me to try this. I tried it under various pieces of equipment (turntable, CD player), and I heard no difference. They tell me that setting-up Mana stands is enormously finicky; I took great care to adjust all those spikes, but apparently it wasn't good enough. If it takes THAT much fiddling, I don't want to know! My advice to prospective Mana owners-to-be is try before you buy. Also the keenest Manaiacs seem to be Naim owners. Something to that?
