Hi Jerome,

Do you still have/use this preamp? How does it sound compared to other preamps you've tried/have?

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

No I had too many preamps so I had to sell it.
Typical Manley sound. Very dynamic and juicy. Explosive and extraverted. But not the last word in supreme definition and refinement.
The radio remote is a super cool feature.
The headphones output is fabulous.
I prefered this preamp to my Mc C1000P.
But I found it inferior to the Shindo Giscours and imho it is also inferior to the CJ Premier 17LS and the GAT.
May be more punchy than the 17LS I guess, but not as refined.
Hope this helps !
