Gold Note PH-10 vs Manley Chinook


Hello all, I am considering an upgrade from my Musical Surroundings Phonomena II phono pre.  Locally available used are the GN PH-10 (with PSU-10 power supply) and the Chinook.  Curious if anyone has experience with both.  Or one, whatever.  The Phonomena is nice and a decent upgrade from what I was using.  It is robust and dynamic but probably not the most subtle. I wouldn't mind a bit more detail and imaging/soundstaging.  A little warmth ok too.  I know we are talking solid state vs tubes and I am leaning towards the tubes/Chinook.  But, the GN gets very good reviews and seems extremely versatile.  Associated TT is a Rega 6 with Exacta cart.  

Thanks!

IMO Manley Labs best products are Phono Preamps. The Oasis was just released, probably will be a unit in production for the next 5-10 years.
