EveAnna has sold her biz

Ralph Karsten has been vocal as to the uncertain future of tube gear. This is a punch to the gut. My totally unsupported hunch is that EveAnna has the same concerns. I always wanted to have one of Manley's 300B amps. I don't know now. I am a very happy owner of a Steelhead phono stage for ten years. Eventually the outboard power supply will fail (they always do) and I may be without the ability to have it serviced if this new owner ends up closing shop.

No surprise it was just a matter of time.

Earlier in the year, a  friend in the Industry said Manley has been dealing with a challenging market, especially these past few years. They were operating with a smaller staff and less operating  hours.

Hopefully the new owner can maintain the Manley legacy in these difficult times.
