How does the Mani sound compared to other phono stages?
I have one other to compare it to, the Soundsmith.
More or less, I can't tell the two apart. Which is really a nod in favor of the Mani because it costs a bit less and has adjustable gain. Soundsmith I have is fixed at 43 db. With the difference in price I could have another cartridge or two in my stable and really have a different sound if I wanted. Like having different headphones.
$130 or $650.
Apparently so. The nerve of me.
Sorry, didn't know protocol for a picture thread was writing an essay for a review between two cheap phonos.
And to think I almost used just one word, similar.

You weren't asked to write a tome; just how the two compared. Similar? Okey-dokey. My Evo is similar to my minivan. They both have 4 wheels and both are capable of driving down the street.

I'm proud of you Eee Pee. Tell it like it is!
On a "similar" word, I am seriously thinking about getting that Schiit Mani for the bedroom. I can tuck it between shelves of Woos and platters & plinths. Right now I have 3 big ones (sort of): the Decware ZP3, Audio Electronics PH-1 DJH, and Eddie Current Transcription phono preamp.
C-tone is Rollin' Phono Amps....
I'm confused. Didn't you ask for a comparison? What reply were you expecting?
