Those of you having experience with Manley Shrimp


I have purchased the Shrimp and am interested in what you are using for power amps. At this point I want to go with a solid state amp, then possibly tubes down the road. A local dealer has a used McCormack DNA-1,comments? But at the moment I am open to suggestions-want to go used-get the best bang for the buck.

First, power up preamp, then power amp/amps. When shutting down, do the opposite; shut down power amp first, then pre.

As for amps, knowing what speakers they'll be used with might help w/good recommendations. Personally, I've always liked Pass Labs if you have to have ss amps. The older Aleph series are great value, but which model you need depends on matching to speaker.
I would go for tubes over any ss amp.
Cheers,
