PS Audio Stellar Phono -vs- Manley Labs Chinook

With it being a current amplification phono though it will not be for everyone, not sure as I own any carts that would work exceptionally well on it. Some that would be ok but possibly not great.
However for anybody wanting to try out current amplification method it sure sounds like a bargain.

40k vs 2k?
Is that even a contest... lol

But at 2.5k for the c2.0 it might be a strong contender.

I believe the LFD should likely be a good step up from the PH10, that is one that has been on my shortlist to try along with Sutherland.

Which model of LFD if I may ask?

Agree totally with Cakid on the Chinook MC section although from what I hear the Chinook SE is better in this respect.
I also used a SUT while playing lomc through the Chinook on its MM settings as it just sounded better.
However for me the Gold Note PH-10 sounds much better in my system.
YMMV

I owned a Chinook for about a year and honestly never truly warmed to it ever.
I sold it and returned to the phono I had before it.
GoldNote ph10. Quite possibly the most flexible phono I have ever owned. And did I say ......quiet..... like inky black quiet even using lomc carts and ear up against speaker with no music playing type of quiet.

Heard stellar opinions on the Stellar but no first had experience.
