Manley Chinook SE MK2

If you want something to play with, get the Roadrunner/Sota speed control setup and gimbal arm replacement for the Classic. OR, if you’re a DIY guy, buy a nice arm that later can be transferred to the new table.

I'm quite pleased with the new PL all tube phonostage.

Different presentation from the Chinook.

How does the PL differ in presentation?

I'm using an ARC Ref 3 Phono with my Hana Umami Blue.  A match made in heaven IMHO.  

I would highly recommend the Sutherland Little Loco current driven phono stage

if you use a low output MC cart

no more settings for gain and impedance

Good luck Willy-T

I went from Chinook to Allnic H-5500 and loved the move so much it forced me to continue to upgrade phonos.
