Manley Labs Chinook Phono Stage
I wanted to put this into the Manley Labs Section.
I've had this piece for about 3 weeks or so. At first, I'm hearing things in the music I did not hear before, also the timbre of the instruments are more real like. Also, a very very nice 3D image. After now, with about 60 hours on this piece, it is opening up very well, soundstage is deeper and wider, voice's are incrediable/natural, a very nice airyness to the music as well. This upgrade was definitely worth the money. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/m...g/IMG_2267.jpg |
It will open up even more at about 200 hours. Break in periods can be long and frustrating, if you have a reverse RIAA board which costs around $50 the process will be sooner. Enjoy!

BTW, I enjoyed traveling through the Wasatch mtns while heading East by train a couple of weeks ago, great ride San Fran to Denver. |
I use to have a Dynavector PK75 MII, and a Dynavector 10x5. I have the Dynavector Karat 17D3 now.

Looks like the MC loading jumps from 400 to 800. My cartridge likes a ~500 ohm loading. I've tried 380, but that's too laid back and timid, so I'm at 475 on my Nova Phonomena.

Just got myself one
Just received a Chinook and trying settings for my Benz Glider SM.
It would seem that 400 load and 0 capacitance is good but is there a better setting? It have given me more info than my Dyn P-75II and a smooth sound. How does the Chinook handle .25 cartridge outputs as I am looking at going further up the line with a Benz or Dyn? I will just enjoy this for a while until the funds grow. Great to Join the CLUB.:banana: |
Cool. Sorry, I cannot help ya, my dealer set mine up.:music:

benz glider
"With the Glider being a smidge on the lively side I run them closer to the manufactures recommendation, may want to check out the 265 setting."
Thanks will give it a go. Thanks |
