i'm already mana'd. CDI on 10, 4tier+8 (pre, nakamichi etc) ,
50s on 50 cut downs + 7, yes I converted about 7 years ago.
listened to the ECS and it went wrong. blew up! luckily not on the 50s. Not a bryston fan at all. I've heard Mr Watsons system back in Pinner with the 100s (that's why I got 50s) and yes fantastic but just couldn't get a pair of activs for the right price. i know what 135s can and cannot do, but the system sounds good.
I also know that Mr Watson had his 52 upgraded which he said sounded a lot better than the standard version. just got to find out who and how. look guys, can't go any further with mana, just haven't got the space.
on the LP12 thing, I take it that it has been 'ninja'd'? I personally prefer the big VPI but then i'm allowed to.
and by the way the way, things have moved on since the 70's or you wouldn't have gone down the mana route.
