New Chinook Review: "Sometimes better is just clearly better."
Michael Lavorgna (Twittermachines.com) just published one of the best Chinook reviews we’ve ever read, and we are delighted to direct you there to read it for yourself.
Here are a few choice quotes from Michael on the Chinook Upscale Audio Special Edition MkII Phono Preamplifier:
“The changes the Chinook brought to the listening experience can be summed up as a further level of refinement where every aspect of reproduction was brought into better and more finely nuanced focus and emotive beauty.”
“It’s safe to say that the Manley Steelhead, released in 2001, is a stone cold hifi classic and the Chinook, which uses the same clean and quiet audio circuit design, appears to belong on that list as well.”
“Listening to my system with the Manley Chinook as part of it offered the deepest, most moving, and fastest track yet into a one-on-one communion with the cherished songs, sounds, stories, and moods laying in wait in records, slivers of magic that can change the course of our lives if we let them in.”
