I have the Schiit Mani and have been waiting for this review for a while thanks Ed. spookydarren which phono stage are you using at the moment and do you think that you could go for the ifi phono. I have the ifi Zen Blue and love it and would trust anything that ifi make I only bought the Mani because of youtube video reviews and it did sound better than my previous Rega Fono Mini A2D which I sold on easily enough. Will I be removing the Mani from my signature ?Wow, is it time to move on the bargain that was a Schit Mani?
Morning, yeah I replaced my fono mini for the mani seeing those same reviews I'm sure. I've ordered the zen based on this and several other reviews to give it an audition.I have the Schiit Mani and have been waiting for this review for a while thanks Ed. spookydarren which phono stage are you using at the moment and do you think that you could go for the ifi phono.

Where did you order it from I usually order through Amazon Prime and I have it the next dayMorning, yeah I replaced my fono mini for the mani seeing those same reviews I'm sure. I've ordered the zen based on this and several other reviews to give it an audition.
Exactly that, plug and play tomorrow. Get to listen to all my favourite vinyl again, happy days.Where did you order it from I usually order through Amazon Prime and I have it the next day
Please keep us informed I might wait for your response before I take the plunge. Funnily enough you cant find a Mani on ebay now there might be a couple for sale in the uk.Exactly that, plug and play tomorrow. Get to listen to all my favourite vinyl again, happy days.
Yeah I'm thinking I'll make my money back for sure. Had to pay import fees too. Mine never had any interference noise, did yours? Wouldn't mind the noise floor lowered slightly, and the sub sonic filter is interesting.Please keep us informed I might wait for your response before I take the plunge.

Maybe you should ask Ed Selley that question he made the statement.No discernible noise at idle, am a bit confused by the term idle.
The difference should be night and day in my experience. Do you have one you can borrow to try?I'm not anti an external stage, but i'm happy with the one in my Elex R. At what point does it not become noticable vs a better intergrated amp? This is why i'm weary of spending £150 for something i'm already happy with.
No, unfortunately. I do have a schiit magni however, so i imagine a mani would sit very nicely on top. Still seems a lot for something that seems to work very nicely.The difference should be night and day in my experience. Do you have one you can borrow to try?

Switched on but with no sound input from the turntable maybe?
It's analogue output, you could get balanced to rca but there's no pointMy amp only has 1 x Coaxial and 1 x Optical I am using the Coaxial so I couldn't use a 4.4 balanced connector is that rightView attachment 1474020
Thanks for thatIt's analogue output, you could get balanced to rca but there's no point
