Love the sound. Increased the depth of my sound stage, maybe the width too but not nearly as noticeable as the depth. The input side is somewhat fussy about the cables. Had an unacceptable hun at first using what I thought were pretty good cables but replacing them curred the problem. The cables may have a problem of some sort that just didn't show up before.

Nothing more to say than what has already been said. A notably huge upgrade!

This superior sounding phonostage will free the sound of your cartridge/system. Highly recommended.

An amazing piece of gear. My vinyl sounds like I'm in the studio with the band.

Outstanding customer service from my salesman Al. Had to wait a couple of months because it was on back order, but everything was handled properly and professional throughout my wait. I appreciate it!

Thanks to Ken, a member of the Analog Team, for answering questions and offering his personal experience with the Manley, I was certain I was making the right decision. The first day of use I was underwhelmed, it was equal to my Schiit Mani, but on day two, WOW it improved and continues to do so. Better soundstage, dynamics and purity. It did reveal that I need better record cleaning, a clean record revealed the sound quality I have been seeking and a less than a clean LP was less satisfying so purchased a VPI MV-1 resulting in better sound but something was still missing so purchased the Degritter (yet to receive). A journey to hear the best sound from an LP, but once I experienced the purity of a clean vinyl, there's no retreat. Thank you Upscale Audio for assisting me on my journey by assembling a team of people (Ken, Joel and others) and for Kevin's online reviews. My system; Klipsch Cornwall IV, Primaluna EVO 400 Integrated, MoFi Ultimate +M and Manley Chinook SE MK2.
