Has anyone tried the dampers and if so, what were the results?

This is how the forum debate started in February 2007. The customer had bought one of our Prestige units without shelves with a damper on each shelf space, but had yet to test the results.
Participation in the forum is high and there are plenty of sceptical comments.
In April 2007 (2 months later) the same forum member reported back his own experience after having tested his new rack and closed the debate with the following comments:-

Hello fellow sound fans

The dampers have, without doubt, made big improvements to my equipment in terms of sound, which are totally new.

After long and exhaustive trials with all sorts of recordings, I can confirm that the result is a sound that is cleaner, more controlled, clear and defined. The low tones are more noticeable and more precise (with less flaws) and the music in general is more natural and tranquil. The dampers do not work miracles, but they add just the right level of enhancement to sound equipment that already sounds good; an improvement that is perfectly obvious and well worth the cost (in my case at least.) I want to point out that I already had a suspended sound rack, so my electronics were already well decoupled; the dampers are an additional accessory that enhance the features of the rack further and contribute to the reduction in vibrations. In other situations, or with other equipment and configurations, it may be risky to assume that they will function better or worse that in my particular case. It is advisable to try them with time and patience to evaluate them properly.

I have been ale to prove that the improvement is as noticeable at low or high volume. I imagine that the subject of sound vibrations, resonance, feedback etc. must be highly complex and that in relation to quality equipment, every aspect must be taken into account in order to get the most from the sound reproduction.

Cheers
