Brand new for 2024, The Manley OASIS Phono Stage replaces the CHINOOKAt last, our favorite phono stage has been updated to operate with MANLEY POWER® which provides an even quieter blacker black background, yielding quicker sonic extremes over our older linear PSU designs. President EveAnna Manley recalls the moment she first made the comparison, “I brought a regular CHINOOK with its linear power supply, a stock unit, to Los Angeles to listen to it against a second CHINOOK that had been modified to work with our new MANLEY POWER® switch mode power supply. My buddy Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Mastering spun up some vinyl records that he had cut the masters for on his lathe. Using his mastering studio environment, we were able to conduct a very precise comparative listening test between the two units. And even though we could not see which unit we were listening to, the sonic differences were unmistakable, and we both heard the same superiority in the new power supply design. I still can’t believe what a stunning technical and sonic accomplishment MANLEY POWER represents, and delivers as we adopt more of our designs to take advantage of our proprietary system.”The OASIS Phono Stage offers an improvement in convenience over the older CHINOOK as the GAIN selections have been brought out from inside the chassis to the rear panel for easier access residing next to the resistive and capacitive loading DIP switches. There are tons of loading options to mate with any Moving Coil or Moving Magnet cartridge. Once you have set your GAIN and Loading for your cartridge, you’re done! Set it and forget it! The OASIS sports an upgraded more luxurious chassis design while its efficient internal build keeps the price affordable. And like all Manley products, each OASIS Phono Stage is loyally handcrafted in the USA by American men and women at our Southern Californian factory located just 35 miles east of Los Angeles.

Yes the Shrimp is entirely a single-ended design. The circuitry uses single-ended topology. In order to be able to provide balanced inputs or outputs we would have to convert the signal to balanced using something like some IC's or transformers. Both these options would add more "stuff" to the signal and be certainly audible detracting from the pure sound the Shrimp provides.If you are dealing with balanced source outputs or driving a balanced amplifier with the Shrimp, check to see if you also have unbalanced connections on that gear, change your cables and go with that. You might be pleasantly surprised that they too added extra audible "stuff" in order to provide balanced XLRs and the RCAs that don't have that extra "stuff" in the signal path actually sound better. (Depends on a given unit's specific design.) Or use some RCA to XLR adaptors. Most balanced gear has no problem being driven single ended but check with the manufacturer if they are going to want the negative pin 3 of the XLR grounded or floating. Transformer-coupled XLR jacks always can be driven single-ended by running HOT into Pin 2 and grounding pin 3 to pin 1. Some IC coupled XLR inputs will want pin 3 floating, others will require it to be grounded when running single-ended into it. Check with the manufacturer of your gear to see how to hook it up single-ended.

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. Here is where the impedances are not too low and the power requirements are not too high: ideal for this kind of tube in a single-ended configuration. This was the genesis of a new preamp.

In 2002 we launched a very tasty all-tube 100 watt monoblock called The Snapper. Another brilliant design from Mitch Margolis features a quartet of EL34 or 6CA7 or KT77's in a fully differential circuit topology, including the input and driver stages. This Snapper can be driven fully balanced all the way through via the XLR inputs.Χαρακτηριστικά:100 Watt partial triode (UltraLinear) EL-34 output stage is tolerant of a wider variety of output load conditions than pure pentode.Precise and balanced signal path from input to output.

[Don't let either speaker terminal contact chassis, earth or any other ground.Switch-selectable RCA unbalanced inputs, or XLR balanced inputs. RCA jack input impedance about 330 kOhms, XLR 15 kOhms. If one input is not occupied, the input selector switch may then be used as a poor-man's MUTE switch. Handy for checking the bias, swapping input cables, etc..Input Sensitivity RCA jack: 750 mV RMS for full output into 5 OhmsInput Sensitivity RCA jack: 71 mV RMS for 1 watt output into 8 OhmsInput Sensitivity XLR jack: 1.5 V RMS for full output into 5 OhmsOverall voltage gain RCA jack to Output: 31 dBu, or about 32 volts per volt.Signal to A-weighted noise ratio on Humberto's bench is about 110 dB.Damping Factor: 4.7All-balanced amp topology keeps B+ voltage variations from degrading the performance of the input and driver stages. This technique can help make a push-pull amplifier very revealing of signal detail, in part by canceling power-supply-related perturbations and increasing signal-to-noise ratios.Portly 180 Joule energy storage reservoir in the main B+ supply channel for explosive transient response and athletic musical stamina. Also reduces B+ fluctuations due to varying current demands of output stage.Wideband transformerless balanced input with bridged 15 kOhm input impedance. Balanced input sensitivity may be selected by changing one resistor to suit whatever operating level may be required. 0 dBu, +4, +8, etc... If desired, the user may safely ground either pin 2 or 3 for single-ended drive of the balanced XLR input... [Be careful NOT to drive pins 2 and 3 of the XLR with a large common-mode signal, or the internal B+ fuse could blow.]Quiet DC supply for the input and driver tube filaments.Excellent square-wave response, and very low excess phase-shift with frequency.Amp actually puts out 110W  5 Ohm load  2 kHz  onset of clipping, 117 VAC mains voltage, 3.5 amps mains current.100 W spec: 15 Hz - 40 kHz into 5 OhmsPuts out 100W into an 8 Ohm load.Snapper unit weight: 38 lbs.

The wonderfully simple 300B directly heated triode is virtually Lee De Forest's very first evolutionary 3-element piece, comprising only filament, input grid and anode output. Brought to reliable perfection by Western Electric USA and later by Standard Telephones UK as the 4300B, the 300B was very much intended and widely used for telephony amplification.Χαρακτηριστικά:Vacuum Tubes: 2 x 300B (Output), 1 x 6SN7 (Driver), 1 x 6SL7 (Input),2 x 5AR4 (Rectifier).

The Manley 500 and 250 Watt Monoblocks are our most powerful push-pull production-models. Both the circuit design and the selected componentry have been refined over years and years of development. Reliability that you can depend upon combined with musical accuracy and emotional authority is what these amplifiers promise- and deliver. They are able to switch operation modes allowing the listener to choose between the sonically seductive qualities of triode and the more powerful Ultra-Linear configuration. We use big, beefy reservoir capacitors in the high voltage supplies giving plenty of instant energy for dynamic performance of transient peaks and bass impact and weight which often exceeds that of rival solid-state amplifiers.Χαρακτηριστικά:ALL-TUBE monoblock design: uses 10 x EL34JJ output tubesDriver Stage: High current double 12BH7EH (x2) Electro-Harmonix RussianInput Tube: 12AT7EH large plate Electro-Harmonix RussianBALANCED & UNBALANCED inputs: RCA and XLR jacks (switchable)MUTE switch: on front panelTRIODE / Ultra-Linear output mode switching: on front panelSOFT-START turn on mode: minimizes in-rush current by first powering up amplifier to half voltagesEVER-WARM mode: for standby keeps tubes warmed up at half voltagesMANLEY Precision Output Transformer: designed and wound at Manley LabsFront panel bias measurement and adjust: Concealed under the black oval insertOutput Tube Standing Current: 27.5mASet Bias for: 275mVDC measured across each bias tip jack to groundLarge filter / reservoir capacitors: 3800uF x 2Angled rear of chassis: provides for easy connectionsWBT binding posts: CE compliant for European modelsInput Sensitivity RCA: Triode = 1.637 V, Tetrode = 1.837 V for full powerInput Sensitivity XLR: Triode = 3.2 V, Tetrode = 3.6 V for full powerInput Sensitivity Triode: 174mV for 1 watt into 8 OhmsInput Sensitivity Tetrode: 146mV for 1 watt into 8 OhmsGain Triode: 30dBGain Tetrode: 32dBInput Impedance RCA: 116 kOhm  1KHzInput Impedance XLR: 270 kOhm  1KHz - 20 kOhms  20KHz - 38 kOhm  20HzActual Output Impedance Triode: 0.538 OhmActual Output Impedance Tetrode: 0.465 OhmOptimum Speaker Load: 5 OhmsDamping Factor Triode: 14.8Damping Factor Tetrode: 17.2S/N Ratio Ref 1W into 8 Ohms: -80 dB -90dB A-WGTDynamic Range: 93dBFLAT frequency response: 10 Hz - 30 KHz continuousFull Power Tetrode: 250W  1.5% THD into 5 OhmsFull Power Triode: 100W  1.5% THD into 5 OhmsPower Consumption: 30 Watts in "EVER-WARM" modeMaximum Power Consumption: 815 Watts at full powerOperating Mains Voltage: Factory set for 100V, 120V or 220-240VAC operation for original destination country's mains voltage.Operating Mains Voltage: changeable with power transformer re-wiring and fuse value change.Mains Voltage Frequency:Mains Fuse 100-120VAC operation: MDA 10 Amp SLO-BLO Ceramic Time-Delay fuseMains Fuse 220-240VAC operation: MDA 8 Amp SLO-BLO Ceramic Time-Delay fuseB+ Fuse: MDA 1 1/2A SLO-BLO Ceramic Time-Delay fuseBadge Illumination: Units produced before 4/2003 use 8V, 0.3A "Fuse-Lamp" 1/4" X 1 1/4" - Serial numbers after N250188 use LED illumination which probably won't burn outPower Cord: Detachable IEC standard.

The spawn of the Manley Steelhead - one of the world's greatest phono preamplifiers - Stereophile Class A Recommended Component and The Absolute Sound's Preamp of the Year, has arrived. The Chinook epitomizes the sound of the Steelhead. Designed for the music lover, not the switch tweaker. Setting up the Chinook couldn't be easier. There are two internal settings for optimal gain: 45dB for Moving-Magnet cartridges and 60dB for Moving-Coil cartridges. Set it and forget it! The back panel contains DIP switches for adjusting the input resistive and capacitance loading values. 31 possible options between 26 and 800 Ohms plus 47k Ohms and 7 capacitive loading choices between 50 pF and 350 pF provide flexibility to match any cartridge and fine tune the tone.Χαρακτηριστικά:Gain: Internal DIP switches select 45dB or 60dBDeviation from RIAA curve: Less than ± 0.5 dB from 20Hz to 20kHz at any gain setting.
