PS Audio Stellar Phono -vs- Manley Labs Chinook


Has anyone out there auditioned both of these phono preamplifiers? Both are in the same price range and I’ve read wonderful things about both. Any preference? I presume the build quality of both preamps and customer service for both companies are top notch. Thoughts?

I have to agree here with Uberwaltz on the Chinook I went from the chinook to the Gold Note PH10 and feel its an over all better sounding phono pre for MC anyway. I've also heard it side by side with Allnic's H-1201 and it didn't lose much ground there surprisingly (I'd say that was more of a tube vs SS choice). Its better then the AudioNote Kit2 as well (had all three one evening for review). there's a review here if you search. 
I've not heard anything from PS audio other then their power stuff. so can not comment there.
