First post
Own the Steelhead paired with Snappers for some time, Vinyl sounded superb, but CD at line input lagged somewhat behind.. then I found out that the Steelhead does not offer any gain at line input. So..
I started wondering / thinking that the NC300B would surely help the gain issue..

So, I bought the NC300B preamp unseen, unheard, but I was confident, although I had reservations about adding loads of parts in the signal path yet again, never mind the extra interconnect and powercord..

The NC300B linestage was the best decision made.
This goes even further, i dare to claim that any Steelhead or as a matter any Manley Snapper or NC250 owner has never heard those without the NC300B.
Most of time we see Steelhead owners selling it eventually, the same accounts for poweramps.

So, strongly suggest going full Manley.
Just order the NC300B and experience the same. Guaranteed next level.
I do not experience them as beeing warm, tubey or full sounding.
