DESCRIPTION

Most budget phono preamps can work with only the typical moving-magnet (MM) cartridges as they lack the flexibility & gain needed for high-output moving coil (MC) cartridges. The Schiit Mani has the ability to work well with all kinds of MM and MC cartridges thanks to its four switchable gain modes, (30, 42, 47 and 59dB).

Enjoy a consistent sonic performance without any poles in the feedback loop. The Mani’s RIAA network is implemented 100% passively. With 0.5% thin-film resistors, 2% film capacitors and extremely low-noise gain stages, experience an incredibly accurate and low-noise performance in a budget.

FAQs

: Sure! Why not? I mean, it’s not like all the records ever pressed suddenly went up in smoke when CDs first came on the scene. Nor did they slip into an alternate universe when everyone started using iPods. (Both of these events to the great consternation of the recording industry, we’re sure.) Bottom line, there’s a ton of great music out there on vinyl—and today, there’s even more coming. Vinyl is the only physical media that increased in sales the past couple of years, and you may have noticed that more and more bands are releasing their work on vinyl.
: We don’t think so. Vinyl, played back on an accurate and resolving system, is an amazing-sounding medium. Many audiophiles still prefer the sound of vinyl to digital. We don’t think that will change soon. But even if it does, with Mani, you’re not out big bucks.
: You can blame this one on Mike Moffat.
: Yep. Really says something, doesn’t it?
: Ask Mike about that one. Record the answer and put it on YouTube. Might be fun!
: The big deal is that it really blows up the price/performance ratio for small, versatile MM/MC phono preamps—without compromises. Mani’s RIAA stage is fully passive (commonly considered the best way to do RIAA). It uses precision parts throughout, including 2% tolerance film capacitors and 0.5% thin-film resistors. It has great flexibility for both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges—in fact, it’s the only phono preamp anywhere near this price that offers two independently switchable gain stages for four selectable levels of gain. It uses very low-noise gain stages for extremely quiet performance. It has a linear power supply (no switchers here!) with an AC wall-wart off-board for even lower noise. And, it just sounds great! Go ahead and compare Mani to products costing 2-4x more, and we think you’ll come back very, very impressed.
: Absolutely. It will allow you to wring the best performance out of your turntable, and move up the scale to even better performance with higher-end cartridges, if you choose to go there.
: Absolutely. It has all the performance you need until you get into very rarified strata of audiophilia.
: Yes, Mani has the flexibility you need for high-output MC and low-output MM cartridges, thanks to its four gain levels.
: Unfortunately, no. At this price point, we can only build them one way. However, you can consider tweaking it with external loads.
: Probably not, but you may be surprised by how good it sounds. Consider Mani for a second table, or to recommend to friends who are “vinyl curious.”
: We took our pills today. But don’t worry, we’re not going to put Mani up on a pedestal and set up velvet rope barriers and only allow tedious obsessives to listen to it. Mani is still all about having fun with your music. Because if you aren’t having fun with your system, your system is having fun with you!
: It means “peanut butter” in Spanish. But, more seriously, Mani is the personification of the moon in Norse mythology. And the moon is round. And records are round. And the night is black. And records are black. Yeah, we’re kinda simple around here. But we do make some decent electronics.
