Manley Laboratories Chinook Tubed Phono Stage - Like New!

*** Item is available for shipping within the contiguous United States ***

I have too many tubes!!! Since I've decided to use a tubed preamp to get the "glow" from both my analog and digital sources, I've found that a tubed phono stage is just too much of a good thing within my system...so here's your chance to grab one that is like new at a big discount. But act fast, as it's the only one on Audiogon, US Audio Mart or eBay as I type this ad.

I'm the second owner of this beautiful piece - I purchased it on 8/29/14 from the original owner. I've only used it when ripping vinyl (not for long analog sessions), so the tubes have probably about 75 hours or so on them from my use. You'll note that I've listed this item as "mint"...that's because I can see nothing that would distinguish this item from a brand new one that has just been taken out of the box for the first time. If you're the lucky buyer, you will soil yourself when opening it...because it REALLY does appear to be brand new - see the photos!

If you're reading this, you are probably quite familiar with this phono stage. It's one of the most configurable phono stages in existence - perhaps the most flexible tubed piece in production (save for its big brother the Steelhead). It's truly a wonderful piece that will provide years of listening pleasure from your vinyl collection.
