Straight from EveAnna Manley, the Chinook shares A LOT of circuit design with the Steelhead, but does not have three inputs or linestage capability. If you only need one input and are on a tighter budget, the Chinook is fantastic.
The real trick with the Aesthetix phono stages is to find a great set of NOS or EAT tubes. That increases the performance substantially over stock.
