I went from Chinook to Allnic H-5500 and loved the move so much it forced me to continue to upgrade phonos.
Manley Chinook SE MK2
What phono preamp and how much would it take to better the Manley? I ask mainly because I have one and considering upgrading. I know it's been stated that it takes $5k upwards to better it but curious of some real world experiences.

@lewm my Chinook, which I believe was the mk1, was really silent. Not noisy at all. Anyone that had a noisy Chinook, in my opinion, needs to investigate tubes. Unless they consider ear to speaker silence a must. The Chinook was the first tubed phono I used and I would highly recommend it coming in to the $2k club of phonos. |
