    OK then, just tell me the secret and where I went wrong with it. There are hardly any adjustable bits to it apart from the floor interface AFAICT. It's not a bad rack, but versus Mana?

    Nullo contendere amigo.

    The tune. What tune? Paul Ranson could maybe comment about Mana's 'tune-playing' abilities.

    And who didn't like my system terribly?

    Marco, I believe a Mana owner started this thread, but never mind, it's all rather tedious.

    So I take it that you Mana owners will now stop making the offending definitive statements then.

    Show me one quote of a definitive statement I've made about Mana.

    I think you'll find I only ever offer opinions, not make definitive statements.

    When will you non-Mana users stop unfairly slagging off Mana? ;)

    Marco.

    ok.....:D

    So if someone comes to your gaff to sample the 'true' Mana experience based on entirely accurate criteria, and decides they don't like it, is that ok?

    Or could you not be certain of their mental faculties under such an experiment, hence throwing the whole exercise into doubt.

    Perhaps the individual could be hooked up to a heart rate monitor and other devices throughout, followed by a post experiment lie detector test?

    I'm upset that i may never have eaten real spag bol now :(

    Seeing as spag bol isnt a real italian dish, much like the indian meal, made for british tastes, i doubt your missing anything.
    Following that logic, it makes Mana an irrelevant invention designed for people who dont like the original real taste.
    Ha, the truth uncovered
    No need to perpetuate the story now lads we know it's a fake!
    Mods please close:D

    But which Pagode stand did you try, the middle of the range or the top model?

    Sorry, Penance, spag bol is indeed a real Italian dish and the real thing is very tasty. Unlike this thread, which is very dull.

    Fear not my fellow traveller of the etheral planes, many a long and winding road hath' led to a grastronomic extravagansa such as 'Proper Spag Bol', hewn from 2 dozen Italain Tomato Farmers (from Naples) real British beef & sun kissed pasta, loving created in Phil Vickerys kitchen, whilst be blessed with sprinklings of 'Delights from Heaven', yes JW has seen to it that the Humble spag bol, now contains extract of mana, for those truley seeking those 8 pointed rings of true sonic enlightenment & the tanacity of a pitbull.

    c'mon - serious question before closure.

    what is the optimum level of mana. Is there a jolly rogers cookbook in underground circles, with a particular phase recipe for any particular component?

    Its important. I mean. Take my marantz cdp for example. Do i fire straight in at a phase 10, or play it safe on a phase 2?

    pray tell

    Don't worry Penance, after all real spag bol has no relevance to whether people like rack A, rack B, or prefer to balance their equipment on the heads of Lithuanian peasants.

    I think we can all agree that, although some way behind the French, Chinese, Thai, and Indian, the Italians have a reasonable cuisine. Parts of Italy, anyway.

    Whatever I think of Mana, James's system sounded a lot better on it than it did on Ash.

    I have a Futurist cookbook which includes a recipe for spaghetti with vongole, nuts & bolts.
