Manley Steelhead RC Phono Stage

Known as one of the very best phono stages alive, the legendary Steelhead has been audio reviewers' reference for over a decade. Groundbreaking in concept with its front-panel loading switching and single LINE input, the Steelhead re-wrote the rules. With the RF REMORA remote controlled volume, the Steelhead can drive your amplifiers directly eliminating the need for another line preamplifier. Smart, fast, clean, and quiet, you will love the sound of the Steelhead. More...


Manley Chinook Phono Stage

Brand new for 2012 at last an affordable phono stage fresh from Manley Labs. The Chinook retains the basic audio circuitry of the world-famous Steelhead, and much of the flexible loading and gain switching, albeit, perhaps not as conveniently. Clean and quiet 45dB or 60dB of gain is switchable internally. Resistive and capacitive cartridge loading options are on the rear panel. Linear toroid-based power supply is built-in. Slick and streamlined, engineered for bullet-proof build and reliability and to slide right under your budget limit, hook a Chinook today! More...

(Lemon and tartar sauce not required for normal operation.) Jumbo Shrimp now includes Remora Remote Control. More...

Here is where the impedances are not too low and the power requirements are not too high: ideal for this kind of tube in a single-ended configuration. This was the genesis of a new preamp. More...
