Manley Jumbo Shrimp


The pre-amplifier search continues.

Unfortunately it is difficult to find local dealers to sample the candidates.

Has anyone heard the jumbo shrimp?  If so how would you describe its sound?

Thanks

I can speak to Manley as a company... they make top shelf product and have outstanding support

Ran one for years, mostly with Manley Mahi Mahi mono blocks to great affect.  This is a sweet preamp with lots of drive.  Moving from the stock tubes to upgraded will improve its performance.  Upgraded power cord will improve its performance.  Placing it on a very decent stand such as a Quadraspire SVT will improve its performance.

This is a very sweet piece for the used cost of around $2,000  And it's just cool retro.  Why do I not run it now?  The tube preamp is simply just not fast enough for my active tower speakers.  Best of luck with one.
