In Reply to: Lovan Classic Rack - What a disapointment!! posted by three quid on January 4, 2007 at 16:56:52:
I have an older Lovan Classic rack, about 3 years old, and have filled the top shelf (for my TT) with BB's as you and the other 3 with sand. I can't say that its a good or bad sounding rack at all, but what i can say (with utmost confidence) is that the thin MDF shelving sounds terrible. I use Isoblocks, tonewood platforms and MS pointed footers under components on 2 shelves - TVC preamp and TT. My CDP and phono pre sit on the MDF, my amp is on a spiked maple plat on the floor.the difference between having the MS footers vibe into the the MDF versus into a 2" thick suspended timbernation maple plat is startling. i think this set-up alleviates most rack issues, given the gear is level and stable. the 2 drawbacks are cost and height needed per shelf.
The overall design & construction of the Lovan is on par with the price IMO.
In hindsight, buying a well engineered rack might have saved me some hassle...and $.
I only keep the Lovan since i don't need any more shelves and i've already invested $ in the MS vibe draining gear. My next rack won't have a thin hollow tubed frame...
