    • Absolutley in love with this little pre-amp.
I went almost full schiit mode and got this phono pre-amp as well as their Freya+ tube pre-amp and their Vidar 2 amp for my KEF Q350s and Fluance RT85 turntable. Really happy with the overall sound I'm getting from my LPs. Very clear, very detailed, great staging and depth. Of course it is the entire system and I cannot say that Mani 2 is the sole contributor to the quality of the sound, but it is a strong link in the overall chain of equipment and does its part well. I have it separated from other items as instructed by Schiit and it is sitting on its own, away from the amps to avoid any unnecessary interference. My previous experience is coming from Yamaha's integrated amplifier A-S801 and its built in phono pre-amp. I however upgraded the entire stack at the same time, so I cannot comment on how Mani would have sounded on Yamaha vs. its own phono pre-amp. Overall jump in the sound quality was very, very noticeable after the upgrade. I enjoyed my Yamaha for about a year and listened to it almost every day and never felt that I was missing anything in the quality of the sound. However once switched over the Schiit stack, the difference was dramatic. Much more detailed, much more crisp. My wife noticed the change in sound immediately as well. Overall very happy with this purchase and overall Schiit's quality of products. ... show more

    • A-B with Pro-ject Phono box S2
I recently upgraded my turntable to a Pro-Ject Pro X2 with a Sumiko Moonstone cartridge. I listen through Elac Uni-Fi 2.0 UB52 speakers driven by a Denon AVR4500 receiver/amp/pre-amp. I suspected the AVR's phono pre-amp was not on par with the turntable and speakers so I decided to add a dedicated, but affordable, phono pre-amp. I narrowed the field down to 2, the Pro-Ject Phono Box S2 and the Schiit Mani 2, based on price, various reviews, MM/MC capabilities, etc. The two pre-amps are very similar on what they offer and very nearly the same price. I was a little biased towards the Pro-Ject because I figured they made my turntable so they should offer an affordable pre-amp to match it. I could not have been more wrong. We set up the Pro-ject pre-amp first and listened to Miles David Kind of Blue. The sound was way better than that through the AVR, so my wife and I were very excited. "How could it get better than this", we asked ourselves. The improvement was enough to put smiles on both of our faces - there really is a very noticeable improvement in sound stage, instrument separation, etc. We almost decided to end the test there and just send back the Schiit, but we didn't. When the needle came down on Mile's record and we heard the sound of the Schiit, our jaws dropped - again. The difference between the two pre-amps was about as noticeable as between the AVR and the Pro-ject pre-amp. We could not believe our ears, so we A-B'd the same album 2 more times. I even did a blinded test with my wife, who is no audiophile, and she unhesitatingly picked the Schiit. We went on to A-B against, Pink Floyd's DSOM, Beethoven's 6th, 5th and 9th symphonies (2 different orchestras), a Moody Blues album, the Eagles Hotel CA, John Coltrane's A love Supreme, Creme and, wait for it...KC and the Sunshine Band. There was a noticeable difference in all albums except the KC, Eagles and Creme albums. There was still a preference to the Schiit, but the difference with these albums was not as notable as the difference in the jazz and classical albums. In no case did the Pro-Ject impress better than the Schiit. We tried several impedances on the two pre-amps (both are adjustable with dip switches) but could not get the Pro-Ject to impress as well as the Schiit. What we heard: there was clearly an improved sound stage with the Schiit. The sense of "being there" was so much nicer. The upper mids were noticeably more pronounced with the Schitt while the base was brought out more without being boomy (we do have a 10" SW on our system). The highs were more...sparkly... with the Schitt, a little more, though, and they would have bordered on too sparkly and cause ear fatigue. This did not happen and while those highs and upper mids were well defined and present, we did not experience any ear fatigue during our extensive A-B testing or the album-listening frenzy of the ensuing days as we began gong through our collection. Look, I'm no audiophile and our overall system is only solidly mid-tier, maybe verging on upper mid-tier, but these are only $200 pre-amps but we know when we hear differences and there were clear differences between the AVR, Pro-Ject and Schiit. One might say the Pro-Ject was more rounded, but I think that's another way of saying it's muted. The Schiit sound was more open, present, balanced and makes the bands/orchestras feel the most "in the room". I will stop far short of saying he Pro-Ject is not a nice pre-amp. In fact it might suit some people's tastes better than the Schitt. But for what I think a pre-amp is supposed to do for your music, the Schitt, to us, does it far better. ... show more

    • Great sense of humor
You wouldn't know this little powerhouse has a sense of humor just by looking at it, but it does. Its personality really shines in the instruction manual. You may never have this much fun reading an instruction manual again in your life. It's snarky and clever, just the way I like it. You can tell these guys are having a lot of fun and they take pride in their products. I purchased this to go with my new turntable upgrade: a Fluance RT85 with their Ai41 powered bookshelf speakers. Fluance also makes a preamp but I didn't love the aesthetics of it and I'm certain it wouldn't have made me laugh. With the Schiit preamp everything sounds great. As the instructions winkingly suggested, I did not have to make any adjustments to the settings out of the box. It feels solid and high-quality. I'm very pleased. ... show more
