“Straight out of the box, the Chinook exhibited a grand sense of orderliness and spaciousness — a very coherent, wide-open, and frequency-neutral phono stage.”
“The Manley strikes a good balance…providing the flow and warmth of tubes with the coherency of the best solid state.”
“The Manley Chinook deserves all the praise it’s received by the audiophile press cognoscenti…it’s admittedly not cheap — but it’s worth saving up for. Its excellent coherency, neutrality, and resolution is balanced by excellent overall tone, spaciousness, and ability to sound very good, no matter the genre of music. The giant killer lives!”
