LCR phono stages we know about

The revival of this (my) thread enables me to ask a question:  I was reading an old review of the Manley Steelhead, in maybe 6 Moons, maybe from 2004 or 2005.  In that review, Evanna Manley herself describes the Steelhead circuit from input to output, and in those paragraphs she drops the tidbit that the Steelhead contains an LCR RIAA filter.  I have been unable to corroborate that information anywhere else, including on the Manley website.  Does anyone know anything about the Steelhead?

Lewm,

Here is the article you mentioned, http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/manley3/steelhead_3.html

The LCR is in the MM input only, not in the MC.

Please list some affordable tube LCR phono stage.  I am interested in getting one sub 2k.

Dear Ghetto,
Thanks for the information on the Steelhead.  I wonder what they do via the MC inputs that bypasses the LCR corrector.  I do know that the MC inputs feed autoformers, but I thought that was to alter input impedance only.  

There are a few LCR phono stages that meet your cost criterion.  Unfortunately, I cannot rattle off their names with confidence, but the "Cole" is certainly one of them, probably for less than a kilobuck.  Lounge Audio LCR is another, very interesting because it uses LCR in the context of op amp gain blocs.  It gets very favorable reviews.  

That's my Valab LCR-1 phono stage in the LCR riaa shootout your're linking to on Troels site. I found the design so interesting, that I decided to buy one to try it out. Both build quality and sound quality is very good.
