OK, I got the cool factor but seriously... this wouldn't provide any sonic benefit would it? I've seen other products that isolate gear from the rack that are marketed as a sonic improvement but I always figured it was BS.

When I say that it is RARE that we review anything that truly takes us by surprise, I mean it. We've seen just about everything and the trade shows ensure that we aren't typically taken by surprise on new product announcements. This new product by MagnaLev, however, came out of nowhere and was first demonstrated at IIC-China earlier this month. We had a colleague who was in town for the show (in addition to some other manufacturing work) and caught site of this new product. A couple weeks later, we had a MagnaLev rack in for review. This may be the most prolific invention for consumer electronics since Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek invented the flip phone. It's just freakin cool.

When you put your equipment on to this rack (up to 150 pounds per shelf) a powerful distributed electromagnetic system will lift your gear and float it about 3/16" to 1/4" off the shelf - depending upon the weight of the component.
great for adjusting your levels.lol![]()

Sorry I haven't responded. Seems like we're having a bit of a bug with the new site. I can see all the pics when I enter the review but not when I view it normally - that should now be fixed. I've been working on this for most of the weekend.
And oh yeah, it's real stuff. They are a brand new company so they aren't moving with a fully-functioning website just yet and are just functioning with a focus on building dealers.

Now, who's the fool who's going to buy?

Assuming this were real, why electromagnets? So it can handle more weight? There are plenty of floating platforms using rare earth magnets to hold the shelves up.
