Manley Labs Chinook SE MKII Phono Stage, black

Manley Labs Chinook SE MKII Phono Stage, black 

This is the highly regarded Manley Labs Chinook SE MKII, purchased new from Upscale Audio in June of 2018, complete with their factory installed, upgraded Upscale Audio graded and tested, cry-treated Tungsram PCC88 tubes.  Purchased with a VPI Prime Signature Rosewood turntable (also listed for sale) this phono stage has less than 20 hours on it, so it’s not even broken in.  While I love the idea of vinyl, some of the inconvenience just isn’t for me.  I find high res streaming to be more suitable for most of my listening and it doesn’t make sense to keep this phono stage and the turntable.  The Manley Chinook SE MKII has been well cared for in a non smoking environment.  For the record, I do have a couple of dogs, English Bulldogs to be specific, but they are way more into home theater, and thus never use my two channel rig.  (just attempting to satisfy the “pet” disclosure so often seen when selling audio equipment online).  You probably already know about the versatility of this phone stage, with four internal gain settings for MM cartridges and two for MC cartridges, plus DIP switches on the back panel for adjusting input sensitivity and capacitance loading values, 31 possible options in all.  This phono stage is among the best values in audio and highly sought after for the build and sound.  This unit has been well cared for in a non smoking environment.

All original boxes, manuals, and documentation are included.

Price:  At my asking price, shipping is included to the lower 48 states.  Otherwise, let’s discuss shipping.  Will not ship outside of the US. PayPal fees are also included at my asking price. While I will consider all reasonable offers, the prices is fair and relatively firm, especially considering the costs covered. 

 
Shipping and pick-up:  While a local pick up is ideal, it’s understandable how limiting that idea is to the market.  I will ship via a traditional carrier and the shipment will be insured for the proper value.  Will only ship to the confirmed PayPal address.

Let’s discuss the elephant in the room.  I don’t have many feedback ratings.  Well, here anyway. It’s true.  However, I am a 20 year member of the world’s largest online marketplace (think eBay), where I have 100% positive feedback nearly 300 transactions.  Beyond that, I welcome conversation to make sure the buyer is comfortable with our transaction.  I can even provide industry references that I feel will put your mind at complete ease, but I don’t want to wear out my welcome with these folks, so only as needed.  My sales are not a liquidation, so I am in no rush. I’m just going in a different direction, so here’s your chance to own some near perfect gear at what I consider very reasonable price.  Please, ask questions, and do what it takes to feel comfortable doing business with me.  I have several other equipment listings.  Please give them a look.
