Well I'm an old guy but I asked another "older" guy who's done sound his entire life. He said have at it so I did. https://www.schiit.com/products/mani is what I'm running for my phono-pre. Now I'm tossing this out there from MY experience and not selling their product. I think since there are two of us who don't know what we're doing you'll be pleased. Couple other guys in here run the Mani also and are happy with the results. I'm not an electrical engineer by any means but to me it does everything it's supposed to. I run strictly vinyl mainly cause I'd be totally lost w/a home theater system. hahaha You might want to check out the A/B test on youtube but remember it's youtube. MC/MM is easy to adjust w/the dipstick's on the bottom or hit me here and I'll send ya pics of where mine is set. Several others have their other gear and seem happy so there ya go. AGAIN my endorsement is squat! hahaha Works great for me though. Your call and I drink Heineken when I drink! 😂 Just got caught up w/the last three posts. Didn't someone mention the Klipsch have a headphone plug? I know nothing about the Fives and what they have/don't have. Yup they don't give a Schiit but they'll give you the straight scoop.

Saddened me to see this. Legendary for sure and always willing to help. Can't help but think of him right now sittin there w/PWK grinning reading all of these posts. Won't be long and they'll be aggreein to disagree! RIP Bob!

Wait, what did I say back there? Maybe a tube phono pre COULD actually sound better but I've never heard one. Yet... 😂

Well ya learn something every day in here I guess! You have yours updated? Put the trampoline on w/the new Dynavector so thinking about getting pricey w/some of the other thingy's this summer. If so how's it sound or pm me.

"They" say IF your running tubes then ya should run tubes in a phono pre. I figured for $150 after reading the reviews and eyeballing it on youtube I'd give it a shot. Pretty amazing so far. Couldn't figure out why a tube phono pre into tubes. Tubes enter into the equation AFTER the phono pre. Yea, yea I know what's coming neixt from a few of you. I say BULLS*e^! Sounds great to me and that's all that matters. The skies the limit sooo have at it! 😂 😎

I run a Linn turntable, Schiit Mani and it's killer with my Dyanavector 20x2. Full Range loves his Puffin though. You have a lot more options w/the Puffin and tbh it's prolly my next pre at some point.

GLWS! Sure is pretty and I'm sure sounds great!

Those pics tell the story. When you're all done in there it's going to be a showplace! Kudo's to you all.

I've had this laying here since 1982 I guess and never really listened to it until tonight. No opera, no nuttin and I was left kinda amazed actually. It's down getting framed so I decided to research it a bit. This thing's ALL Freddie. Written for his cat? Whoda thunk it! (That much I did know.) Don't start me on cat's! 😂 😎

Friday here but not down under. Should be spinnin but chillin!

@dwilawyer 😂😎

Perhaps he's hooking up w/ @grasshopper

Great team building things the RIGHT way! Think not? Lug them in, wire them up, kick back and put an ear on 'em! You'll be gettin that grin on in no time. Wait, don't we all know that already?

Good to see ya @Mossy bottom!

Got those PowerBall tickets??? Toasters? Green Eggs? New speakers? $550 Million?

Happy Birthday to you both!

Love this guy too! One of the best and a one man show!

Gotta love Lester & Earl

In about 3 years @dtel will be wondering WHY he didn't build a bigger place!
