In Barn for Review: Manley Labs Chinook Special Edition MkII Phono Preamplifier

October 26, 2022 Michael Lavorgna
I’ve been a fan, albeit from afar, of Manley Labs for years. There’s something no-nonsense about the company, a refreshing directness and attitude that strikes me as a bit fresh, in the best sense(s) of the word.
