Hi-FiPreAmplifiers

Shrimp Preamplifier
Shrimp
In 2002, we brought out our new entry-level tube preamplifier, The Manley Shrimp. But it is so unfair to label it as "entry-level". This preamp sounds sooooo much better than that!

Steelhead
Steelhead
We debuted to the world a killer  frikkin' cool phono stage at CES 2001. It was called, aquatic naming theme continuing, The Steelhead, as it is an "upstream" device and has a very clever MC variable load auto tranny that Mitch Margolis (on-staff Manley hifi designer) designed and our very own Manley Magnetics department executed (which makes the MC stage so very clever).

Neo Classic 300B Preamplifier

NeoClassic300B
Our  most esoteric product is THE 300B PREAMPLlFIER. This is the first and only preamp to feature these classic tubes. We had been designing the 300B into small power amps for many years and have always had great respect for the smooth natural sound of this tube. However, a single 300B provides truly appropriate power and voltage swing for headphones and makes a remarkable line driver.

The WAVE by Manley | 24/96 DAC & Tube Preamplifier Combo
Wave
Whether you want to view it as a high-end preamplifier with a built in magnificent DAC or a Converter with 4 extra analog inputs is up to you.  It starts with 4 digital inputs spanning the AES/EBU, SPDIF, Toslink and ST formats. February 2002 brought us a new 24 bit 96KHz digital to analog converter board designed by Fred Forssell. We merged this new DAC with an improved tube stage and added two analog balanced AND two unbalanced inputs. Outboard power supply too.

Skipjack Source Selector
Skipjackfront
Have you ever wanted to compare two (or more!) sets of interconnects or listen to the difference between a couple of preamps or a few CD players or be your own armchair reviewer? How about you guys with the Manley Steelhead? You have one line input available and have to keep swapping cables when you want to listen to your CD or tuner? Hey, or would you like to go backwards and have one source drive either this or that? And why has no one ever commercially offered a real high-end audiophile thing to do this job?
