Schiit Mani phono preamp - my first impressions




Just got my Schiit Mani in the mail today and hooked it up to my Linn LP12 /Unitrac / Dynavector 10x Gold L, set the gain to the highest setting and let it break in. Listening to Diana Kralls Greatest Hits, at first it was rolled off and grainy on the top end, but after a couple of beers (hours) it really started to open up on top and become more dynamic. I am really impressed with the sound of this phono stage and could live with it no problem. I'm hearing things that I had not heard before in my homebrew tube phono amp. Lots of gain, the bass is very good, the mids slightly warm and the top is now open and detailed and I expect it to get even better. It has the magic and I'm very happy with it, especially for $129.
