Our thoughts

A phono stage that adapts to the cartridge, with gain and loading set for moving magnet, moving coil or moving iron designs. Well suited to owners who run several cartridges or expect to change one.

Gain runs from 33 to 60dB, with four loading resistances and four capacitance settings, so one chassis can cover cartridges from Decca to low-output MC models. The passive RIAA network uses precision film capacitors and thin-film resistors, designed for accurate equalisation. A switchable 6 or 12dB/octave passive low-frequency filter is there to help with warped records and subsonic rumble at the phono stage itself.

It suits a serious analogue system where cartridges are mixed, changed or yet to be chosen, and where hands-on control of gain and loading is wanted. This pre-loved unit comes with its AC power pack. Call the team or chat with us in the showroom about cartridge type, loading and gain.

The Audio Tailor team, Murarrie showroom

 We have one of these great little Mani 2 phono preamps from Schit Audio.

Comes with ac power pack.

If you require shipping please ask us before ordering for a price.

Mani 2 is simply the highest-performance affordable phono preamp, period. With super low noise and high RIAA accuracy, plus flexibility for pretty much any cartridge, MM, MC, or MI, it sets the standard for performance and capability in an affordable phono stage.  

Simply Stunning Performance Mani 2 provides super low-noise performance that’s usually only seen in much more expensive phono preamps. Combining TI’s low-noise OPA1612 with a passive RIAA network with 2% precision film capacitors and 0.1% thin-film resistors in a DC-coupled topology, with advanced dual-filtered power supply and +/-16V rails, as well as switchable 1- or 2-pole passive LF filter, provides exceptional transparency and accuracy, as well as high overload margin, in an affordable phono preamp.   Ultimate Flexibility—Loading, Gain, and LF Filtering Mani 2 doesn’t sacrifice flexibility for low-cost, either. In fact, Mani 2 is the most flexible, capable affordable phono preamp, period. You have total control over:

Designed and Built in Texas By “designed and built in Texas,” this is what we mean: Mani 2 was designed and built at our Corpus Christi, Texas facility, and the vast majority of the total production cost of Mani 2—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the USA. Our chassis are made in California. Our PCBs are done in Nevada. Yes, the wall-warts are made in Taiwan, but there's some give and take at this price point.
