    Possibly not - those racks are not the best for isolation.
    A friend has one, and he's had to bugger around to kill the various resonances.

    Common sense isn't anymore!

    The Creaktiv was very good, a nice step up from Mana and I assumed the other supports would not change it.
    What resonances ?

    The one I've seen was very lively, to the point of making itself audible underneath the music.
    Was is the key word - it's not lively now, but it's taken a lot of buggering about to make it that way.

    RDC cones under my valve amp sitting atop Soundampedsteel plates here.
    Best isolation I found for plonking kit on my Stands Unique glass rack.

    Though weirdly, the best I found for my digital source was 3 feet off an old Rega turntable, go figure!
    AC POWER
    Hardwired 10kVA balanced mains powering entire system
    AMPS
    Meridian 557 power Amp (Modded) / PS Audio BHK Preamp (Modded)
    SPEAKERS
    Wharfedale Evo 4.4
    DAC
    PS Audio Directstream (Modded)
    TURNTABLE
    Pro-Ject X8 balanced output via XLR / Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge
    PHONOSTAGE
    Pro-Ject DS3 B balanced Input (TT and Phonostage powered by Pro-Ject Power box RS2 linear psu)
    DIGITAL
    OPPO 203 (Modded: Linear PSU, i2s output to Dac) - Roon Endpoint, HDMI input used for all things Streaming/ PS5 /AppleTV ... also good for movies apparently?
    MUSIC PLAYBACK
    Tweaked AP-Linux based Roon Server into Oppo 203 as Roon endpoint
    Ipad Roon Remote.
    Apple Music/ YouTube via AppleTV, fed to Dac via Oppo HDMI input/i2s output to Dac.
    SPEAKER CABLES
    Biwired: Duelund DCA10GA (Bass) Duelund DCA16GA (mid & treble) Duelund 12DCA used as jumpers (On
    "Blackcat Cable" Chris Sommivigo's advice - yup, even with biwire it sounds better - and it does)
    INTERCONNECTS
    All Balanced: Ghost+ recording studio XLR cables

    I found the demo one I had from Tony better than Mana right away. Then I think it became better, perhaps due to the sand or particles of unobtainium settling.
    I now have 2 Creaktiv racks and they are staying
