Strathearn....they had a TT with a bendy headshell....
A friend had one of their turntables. I was disappointed that it didn't run backwards from time to time like other examples did.

Didn`t someone produce a pickup arm with the tube leadouts connected via tails in a Mercury bath? - I doubt that lasted long.
They seem to be back from the dead!Nytech didn’t last long.
true that auditioning was carried out in ...er ... smoke filled rooms... as part of the sales technique?I never did believe in these expensive stands.
They seem to be marketed as another ‘must have’, along with very expensive cables.
I recall Martin Colloms raved on about Mana stands, but then he raved on about a lot of things...
Nightingale i gave my NM1's to me mate whose still got em...in Norfolk i think but sort of ended up connected with Wilmslow who may still have some empty Nightingale cabs in their stockroomhttps://pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/hi-fi-brands-wot-have-disappeared.123143/

This may have been mentioned before or even referred to above but Mana did do some mono block power amps?
Anyone recall JPW loadspeakers ?
25 or so years ago they were always at the Penta & Bristol shows if I recall. Not sure what happened to them ?
On the subject of Ion Systems, I do remember them being on the BBC Money Programme or some other similar business news show from about 30 years ago if I'm not mistaken.
I don't recall why they were on though ? Anyone else remember that ?
There was another hi-fi stand that was popular for a very short period of time. It was all wood with wedge-shaped legs under each shelf. It was modular, I seem to recall the dealer I still use getting a sample in & it fell to bits.
Same here - they sounded superb at a Hi-Fi show I went to and, at the time, I really liked to styling (80's ) but sadly self destructed after a few minutes. I later heard this was not unknown for these amps.This was the amp I really wanted when I first took a serious interest in hi fi many years ago.I thought it the bees knees.
I,however, had to settle for Technics entry level which wasn’t too bad but not great.
