Schiit Mani - any opinions ?

It's a Piece of Schiit.

i ve used the mani for a couple of months now and am quite pleased with it, has great detail, pace, good bass, not overly so, i think its faults are of omission then commission, I some times get some overload on the highs, but the sound stage is very good, I'm impressed by this phono preamp, really.. does take a little time to warm up but when it does, easily listen for hours..  my system is scout 1.1, sonic frontiers sfl-1, krell 200s with straight wire virtuoso thru out  won't be sorry for such a minor investment, believe me I think its that good.       Regards  

chiming in here since I've had a week to really hear this piece of Schiit. As a replacement while my $2500 retail unit is in the shop, I find it to be a great value.
As anything else, great sound is the the sum of all pieces. For $150,  good enough to hold me over. My opinion also takes into account owning a1K retail unit as well. 

If I didn't need the extra gain, I would have considered the Orbit for even less money.

Thanks guys - much appreciated.

My friend ended up purchasing one, but his vintage receiver is  getting "renovated" (new caps, cleaning pots etc..), so he has not had a chance to listen to it yet.

He'll appreciate the feedback

Been listening to one for two weeks now and am going to keep it. It's just one of the best values in audio ever. With all the phono stages I've owned, and I've owned quite a few, my sense is that anyone who is in the market up to $1500 for a phono pre and doesn't try this preamp is missing out BIG TIME.
