Michael started the thread.

I think it is laughable, the guy is so far up his own arse, he feels SORRY for the unenlightened or those who will not hear. Nowt wrong with Mana but this evangelistic nonsense is in the public domain, if the member wants to reply then let him do it over there. Mans gullibility is pitifull
 
Michael,

I do apologise. I didn't actually know that said person had been banned.
Clearly, if that's the case the the usual drift into another pointless mana arguement won't happen, so my worries were unfounded.

As for the link. I AM a mana user, and that looks like rubbish even to me.
 
** realised that some folk are running outa ceiling height, and decided on a new product to enable him to keep funding his pension, called on his best disciple to "spread the word" Not true of course, but.....
 
I don't have a problem with Mana at all. It looks like a perfectly good racking solution and I'm in the minority of people who think it actually looks quite good (in black ;) ). I just think the level to which people take it is quite absurd. I don't think there's any other hifi product that has that kind of "faith" following.

Michael.
 
I reckon John is having to consider WAF, the stainless ones will look much better, my wife might let me get some even :)

Then I could join the "happy Ringers"

...err Naim users? Oh, they're usually the same group aren't they.
 
Well yes, Mana users tend to be Naim users (allthough not the other way around) but whilst Naim has a very loyal customer base there's less faith involved in the upgrade process ie, you're not constantly adding things that have no logical reason to improve your system.

Michael.
 
Since when has anything in hi-fi been solely logical?

After all, why does a mains power lead make a difference? Yet I believe mine does.

Yes that is perfectly true but you must remember that we are generally better looking, more successful, more intelligent, shag more women longer and more often and overall are more educated than you lowly scum.

If you think I am being arrogant, just think what I would be like if I had just bought some stainless steel racking.

I must admit that sort of hyperbole does Mana no favours at all, it just knocks its credibilty down the pan. You can overdo it.

Regards

Within the grand scheme of things, non Naimees can understand why someone would upgrade to the next level of PSU, amp, CDP or preamp etc. OTOH when people see 6ft towers of Mana at the Nth level it's just an invitation to take the p*ss out of them.

I don't know why you say that there's no logic in it... as long as the ear can be pleased I see no difference between Mana faith and NOS DAC faith, do you?

Obviously you are exception to the list. Well there always has to be one!
 
BD, you're just being silly. That my DAC sounds different from the DAC64 is measurable. The effect of adding another level of Mana is not.

Michael.
 
I'm not getting drawn into another bloody measurement and accuracy debate. Further off topic posts in that vein will be deleted :mad: .

Michael.
 
I don't know what's funnier, the hyperbole or the way it starts another argument. Certainly cheered me up after a hard day:D
 
No my friend... you are hiding yourself and you are acting like Bush did in the Iraq war.

What you cannot say is that all that is important is what we ear, when next time you say that if it is not measurable it is a question of faith...

Everything is measurable... somethings we can measure, others we may not know how yet, but that doesn't mean they aren't measurable as long as you assume that the ear can detect the difference, which is the case with Mana proponents.
