Thomas,
If he was using these devices on Mana then we really have no idea of how they work in isolation. I use a slate slab under my Micromega CD player which sits on rubber feet atop a Mana rack. Without the Mana the slate sounds heavy and slightly muddled, to such an extent that the player sounds far better just put directly on the glass. .
It is obvious that the slate plinth is benefitting from the isolation given by the Mana support. Thus it is not a good support in itself but an adjunct to the Mana support.
To judge the effectiveness of a support, that support must be used on it's own not plonked on top of another isolating rack. I suspect that PM was giving these supports a bit of a helping hand so that the usual good Hi Fi + review could be given.
