Speaking of turntables, I'd think it optimum for the turntable to have its own dual preamplifier. The tonearm is awfully small in cross section; the "transmission line" therefore needs balanced execution in two channels. Moving coils are difficult to amplify but easy to match for characteristic impedance. Piezoceramics generate the highest voltage but are difficult to match for characteristic impedance.
The MANI™ looks less than optimum for my requirements, as the inputs are NOT balanced. The tonearm cross section would support at most a mini-DIN5 plug for balanced execution o' the cartridge. Dual Cannon XLR3S I find adequate for stereo output.
