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.

It has two Moving Coil inputs with selectable impedance load 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 Ohms via Mr. Clever "Steelhead" transformer/autoformer. It also has variable and selectable Moving Magnet input impedances too 25, 50, 100, 200 Ohms and 47 kOhms. It's got six tubes. 2 x 6922 plus 4 x 7044 (or 5687). It's got a big honkin' volume control. It can drive an amplifier directly if you want, if you don't "do" digital. Hey and if you happen to have three turntables set up, we give you 2 x MC and 1 x MM selectable inputs. It's got selectable gain 50, 55, 60, 65dB on a switch that even auto-mutes as you change it so no nasty bangs. Gain switch markings are referred to from the input of the 1st active electronics at 1 kHz to the fixed output @ 10k load, regardless of whether source is MM or XFMR stepped-up MC.

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.
