MULTIPLE ARM TURNTABLE

Manley Steelhead 

Two (2) MC inputs
One (1) MM input  

Adjustable at front panel, newer Steelhead has motorized volume control. Original, is non-motorized but can be sent to factory and retrofitted. Remote, controls volume only.

Responds well to tube rolling the 6922s. Drives my Pass amps directly. Has only one line input. SS power supply. Dead Quiet ! 

Tubes seem to to last forever.

Needs a Large shelf.

lean,

My Steelhead is original. Are you aware of any updates other than motorized volume?

Lewn,

Damn spell check.

lewn,

Appreciate your response. I will call Manley. Yes, I do not claim the Steelhead is the best. At this level there are a lot of great Phonostages.

l tried the  IO - Too noisy
I tried the Rhea - Was good/ Not great
I tried a BAT / super tube option ; don't remember actual model - Too noisy

I tied the Steelhead - Tube magic, knew that it would serve me into the future, has been Reliable, Dead Quiet (Which really counts with me)
Liked that it could drive amps directly and could eliminate a Preamp and pair of ICs. Did not know about tube rolling ; but got a pair of Telefunkens last year and very happy with the result.

Will give Manley a call and see if a worthwhile upgrade is available; but do not plan on searching out a replacement.

Satisfied with system and want to finish my room which has become the most important component.

Best to you
