Manley 300B Neo Classic : any love ?
Hello folks,
I wonder if anyone here have experienced or owns this 300B preamp ? Manley Neo-Classic 300B Preamplifier RC The idea to use the fabulous 300B sound in a preamp seduces me a lot. Moreover, I enjoy a lot my Manley Snappers, so this could be an ideal partner. Jeff : how do you find this preamp ? Thanks a lot !

Made a web search this morning to discover that preamps using 300B tubes are pretty rare.
Just found the Shindo Petrus and an Audio Note xxx..... Sent from my iPhone using A.Aficionado

Jérôme.......The specification for this preamplifier look very good. This looks to be a perfect mate to your Snappers. I am sure the synergy would deliver excellent results.

Clearly Dan. Thanks § You are a great ambassador of the US industry !
My question is to know how it will mate with my other monoblocks. Actually I don't care. I love the Snappers so much that if the 300B preamp does not mate well with my other amps, I will build a full Manley system elsewhere. Moerover, the 300B neo Classic does not cost a fortune so I can play in this game.... Sent from my iPhone using A.Aficionado

Jérôme.......I read where Manley changed the volume control from a stepped attenuator to a high quality Alps motorized volume control, so it will give you remote control. That's a requirement for me.

I really wonder why Manley does not get more fame in the audiophile community and the press.
They do not advertise so this explains the lack of reviews in the press. Although they got some reviews in Tone Audio. So nobody here heard this preamp ? Sent from my iPhone using A.Aficionado
