Two different - and both equally meritorious musical presentations...

I could have tried so much harder to do this, but it seemed so much more fun to leave them all in.
I don't hold certain mags in the highest regard, as some of you will know, so the opportunity to perhaps *send them up a bit* was not one to be avoided.
My main point is that sometimes you have to make *brainer* choices, and this isn't always easy - hence my dithering on a certain score a few weeks back.

It'll cost a fortune, but I'll ge there in the end!
Meanwhile it is a bit of a trade-off, and one where I am forced to make a choice.
Forced with the same choice, I just wondered which way most people would go.

You are entirely mistaken there, James.
What Mana gives I know I can get via another - albeit more expensive route.
Had I gone down the Mana route, I don't think I'd be able to retrieve the overall musicality, i.e: tunefulness, melody, that I seek, without a major change of boxes a well.
It was suggested that I'd like Linn on Mana, and that may well be the case, but it would be the costliest way to achieve what I want, as I would have to ditch all of what I have already.
Tony Lonorghan once said in the "Room 101" thread in The Padded Cell, that he really hated it when people said that Mana couldn't do pitch...
He has since decided to swap to QS Reference on that very basis.

1) Mine is not an all-Naim system.
2) The description entitled "Musical Euphony" is in fact a description of how I heard an all-Naim system on QS Reference.
In fact, it was two different all-Naim systems:

Which planet are you on?
Me? I'm on the (rather flat) Earth.

I just wanted to see what others would have chose, faced with the same subjective dilemma that I was against.
I don't mind being alone, but it is kind of reassuring to see that I would not be alone in the choice that I have made.
Often we all hear the same things. It is more what we want to hear that may vary - a question of priorities given the expenditure involved.
In many ways, the Mana upgrade path offers the best value for money possible, but not if I personally find that the sonic philosophy is so very slightly flawed.
