The Mani Has Arrived

Hi guys,

A quick update! The Schiit Mani Phono Preamp arrived late yesterday afternoon. I am spending the day today doing some fine tuning so I am planning on bringing you a new post tomorrow (Wednesday 12/19/18). So far all indications are great. The Mani sounds really good and I hope that you guys will be able to hear the difference. See you tomorrow.

Mani, That thing is one fine looking piece of Schiit. Lol.
All jokes aside Paul, Schiit makes some really good equipment especially headphone amps.

Mani is great, it’s true. But Mani + Reni? Transcendent. 😉

Cool. I just picked up styli for my Numark TTUSB’ GT cartridge. I can’t wait to put it on and rebuild my online station’s library of 45’s.

Paul, do you mind showing us the exact configuration on the botton? I’m considering buying one.

But is it the same configuration you’re gonna use for your rips?

Shame on me – I had never heard the name SCHIIT before. After your first post about the Mani I bought the book “Schiit Happened“. Brilliant!

That looks lovely… but what does it do 🙂

Maybe this will help improve the re-rip of the Record Store Day 12inch of Wham!’s Last Christmas.

Nice. I still wonder how bad the “affordable” DJPRE II is in comparison to this, as that’s within my budget, while the Mani is less so.

Either way, I look forward to the new rips! 🙂

The DJPRE II is a nice preamp – but to get the most out of it you need to upgrade the external power supply – google it, lots of discussion

What do you use for volume control and headphone monitoring it dosen’t appear to have those options as the Bellari did

Ay caramba! Nice and slick!!

I have to say that the Bellari looks more serious than this one.
the Ballari is a Tube preamp vs. digital, Tube amps have a warmer sound than digital.
So how is it sound?

Thanks and congratulations.

That’s interesting Paul. The ratings on it are very good so that makes sense.

Hi Paul,

I noticed the difference in your new rips, it’s much more clear, but for me the bass were more present before. thanks for your work.

Good news, how do you pronounce its name? correct me if I’m mistaken, is it like Shit?
What is it a German brand, so it’s like schisse?
Anyways, it looks cool. Congrats.
