Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant?


Looking for a state-of-the-art phono stage. Budget? $15K or less. After almost 20 years, is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? Or are there newer, better options?

How can any real man not like gear called "Manley"?


Seriously, I heard the stingray once and it sounded very good and the Manley gear definitely has a nice clean modern industrial look to it.

I did lose interest though a few years back when the prices suddenly jumped dramatically for no apparent good reason other than they could.
