It certainly sounds like a number of people prefer the IO by a wide margin to the Manley. I can see that the tubed power supply and lack of a transformer would certainly give the IO the edge.
Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove
For those who have heard at least two of these, please compare the sound quality of any of the following three phono preamps:
1. Aesthetix IO or IO Signature
2. Manley Steelhead
3. The Groove
Let me know what you think of the sonic biases
and flaws in these products as well as what each does especially well. Any t/t and cart recommendations which work especially well with any of these would be recommended.
Thanks,
Ray Hall
