Fremer is a big fan of the Micro iphono2 @$499. It does MM and MC.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Schiit Mani - Sent in for repair, no response. Looking for rec's on a replacement preamp
Hi Everybody - first time posting here. I've run into a serious issue with Schiit. My Mani ran into a hardware issue (dead left channel). I mailed it to Schiit on July 3rd, they received it on the 10th and emailed me confirming they had received it and would get back to me in a few days, but to no avail. I've emailed them a couple of times and just called their number and no response. I'm getting the feeling I'll never receive my Mani back at this point and I'm not sure if I have any legal remedy to get them to respond (at this point, I don't understand why they didn't just send me a replacement unit).
So I started looking for a replacement phono preamp. I have a VPI Prime mounted with a Nagaoka MP-110. Budget is set at 500ish. Any recommendations that will wipe the floor with that piece of schiit?
Thanks in advance,
George
