Manley Chinook question


I am interested in the Chinook with the NOS tubes upgrade. Any owners of this
one? I am not familiar with the 6922 tubes. How do they compare with the 12AX7?
Thanks.

I remember a while back some people posted they much preferred the sound of comparable Allnic and Herron phono pres over the Chinook.  I have no idea -- just passing it on FWIW.  

dillrod-
not knowing your budget-this Allnic subjectively may punch above the Manley Chinok. I haven't read any  negative reviews on the Allnic.

If it's in your budget, I would send a counteroffer a couple hundred less and see if it sticks.I
+1 tablejockey, have had the Allnic 1201 and a stock Chinook at the same time and the Allnic was clearly better, with that said the Chinook was a very good phono stage especially at the prices I have seen them used.
I read that the Allnic rolls off some of the bottom end. I also read the same about the
Chinook. I called Manley and they say it's flat to 20HZ. I love deep bass. I was looking
at a Pass Labs but I prefer tubes.
