To be absolutely fair here Michael, reviewers by and large tend to review new product and Mana has stubbornly stayed the same, despite the fact that John could have made a small fortune out of mk2 and even mk 3 Mana by now if he had had less integrity.

Imagine the shocked awe of the mk2 in the pages of the August What Hi Fi,  " Beats Hell out of mk1" etc,  magazines need the new product or the new sensation, by not rising to this Mana are not playing the game and thus tend to get overlooked.   The new space age Carbon Fibre and Titanium resonance buster will always make a better story whether or not it actually works.
