Looking for a tube phono pre

I’m surprised you’re having an issue with Upscale, they’ve always been great to me. They must be waiting for stock from Manley? That said I’ve bought some really nice used AQ Wild Blue Yonder (expensive) cables from Echo hifi and they’re great to deal with! Definitely worth keeping tabs on their used/FS ads.

@jmphotography I suggest clicking the buy button. Things go fast from their web site. You don't have to pay when you do, and you can always change your mind after talking to them, it just puts you first in line.

Has anyone ever had a MANLEY LABS CHINOOK SPECIAL EDITION MKII and can speak of it’s attributes, sound quality vs the regular MANLEY LABS CHINOOK or other phono stages? I’m interested because they do come up used from time to time.

Well to my surprise a Manley Chinook just showed up at my door. They were not dragging their feet, they just had it drop shipped right from Manley. Its going to be a fun night.

Congrats!  I am looking at phono preamps as well.  Trying to justify spending around $2k for something to mate with my Rega P6.
