Tony,

I didn't try the CDs off Mana, as I said the Marantz was on a level less than the Naim.   I did get the two fairly easily as I said it's just that the difference wasn't to me worth the extra money.   That Spl meter came in handy doing the test for others, must nick it next time I'm up.

Come to think of it on some programme the Marantz was very very good.
