| Manley 300B preamp I've read somewhere that you have to check out if your amp (in my situation: preamp) can swap directly to EML 300B mesh. That this 300B works best under specific conditions. Mtrspt5; how is this with Manley 300B, did you have to adjust bias in ord... | |
| Manley 300B preamp Mtrspt5, it seems you have a great system. I'll check out some more about the EML 300B mesh. Could you swap in the EML directly or was it necessary to adjust bias?My local tube dealer talks positive about the Golden Dragon 300B mesh. Any experienc... | |
| Manley 300B preamp Thanks Fwinston. I'll check them out. Any other experiences from other users of this preamp? | |
| Manley 300B preamp As always with a new tube amplifier I buy a spare set of tubes. Even if Manley stuff is seldomly stable, it is part of living with tube magic that you need to change a tube once in awhile. And you don't want that to happen after a nice bottle of P... | |
| Manley 300B preamp Yes, I am gaining some impressions of Manley Neo-Classic 300B. When I change a component I always get sensitive about a couple of things and I have then to listen for a long time to get the nuances. And I'm not a guy who changes gear often. The pr... | |
| Audio research or Manley 300B pre amp for Upgrade Exciting, I concur with your impressions. A good preamp opens up a system: it gives it life, organical flow, dynamics and timbre nuanceses. I once tried Jumbo Shrimp with Snappers, it was really good. However, the 300B is in a different league. Th... | |
| Audio research or Manley 300B pre amp for Upgrade Jonathan: Let us know about your decision and impressions. I have faith in the importance of a preamp. I write "faith" because I can't back it up technically. However, listening has consistently given me the impression that a preamp influence the ... | |
| Audio research or Manley 300B pre amp for Upgrade Efner: I appreciate your elaborated answer. Jonathan: RCA connection between preamp and Snapper doesn't concern me, as it doesn't concern Manley: they designed Snapper differentially balanced but their preamps single-ended because they think that ... | |
| Audio research or Manley 300B pre amp for Upgrade Stating something as "without question" in this hobby seems quit ignorant. I fancy Audio Research and love the synergy between Manley gear. However, my experience doesn't count in your setup. Yet, I have the Neo-Classic 300B preamp driving the Sna... | |
| Manley 300B preamp Vow, this is something! Just got the preamp, and up and running. I'll come back with impressions after some digesting. | |
| Manley 300B preamp Chatta: I've read about it's qualities as a headamp, and am at the moment researching into, for me, an unknown territory: headphones. Any experience with cans that match with this preamp? | |
| Manley 300B preamp Unfortunate I'm still waiting for my 300B and would love to hear about it. I know there ain't that many of them, but is there anybody who would chip in with some experience on this fascinating preamp? | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Tannoy Prestige: you get the life and dynamics of horns with seamless integration between the high and low frequencies. Actually I find it hard now to listen to multiple drivers speakers after been accustomed to dual-concentric.You should listen t... | |
| Manley 300B preamp Joeinid, it sounds like your McIntosh plays music. I have never auditioned Nola speakers; not easy to come about in my country. But I have read great things about them. It seems that there are few with a Manley 300B on the forum right now. Too bad... | |
| Manley 300B preamp Joeinid, thanks. I see why you go the Manley road: it's cool. What preamp will drive those beastly 250? |
