Description
Schiit Mani 2 MM/MC Phono Preamp in Black Includes the Mani 2, the original power supply, the owner’s manual, several stickers that were included when I bought it, and the original manufacturer’s box. In Excellent Condition. Original Owner. I bought this Mani 2 directly from Schiit earlier this year (I wanted to get back into vinyl after a 30-year break). After about eight months, I decided to upgrade my entire stereo system and no longer needed the Mani. It was only used for approximately eight months, and even then, it was typically used less than an hour a day. Smoke-Free and Pet-Free Home. Double-boxed for extra protection and shipped via U.S.P.S. Priority Mail. Product Description and Specs (taken directly from the Company’s website) 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: Gain: Choose 33, 42, 48, or 60dB of gain, for virtually any cartridge from Decca to low-output MC and MI models. Loading: Choose 47KO, 200O, 47O, or 38O, and 47pF, 100pF, 150pF, or 200pF for virtually any MM, MC, or MI cartridge LF Filter: Choose 6dB/octave or 12dB/octave of purely passive low-frequency filtering to help with warped records or other subsonic problems. 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 theres some give and take at this price point.
