Manley Chinook or Any comparable Preamp?

Having owned several preamps two other tube types, I can say I'll most likely stay with my Chinook, The SE addition is not worth the extra mile in my opinion cause the stock EH tubes are the best I've tried, plus the Manly customer service is next to none prompt concise answers, the president of the company has always answered mine :)

if you don't want to deal with tubes and are looking for something stone quiet, the Parasound 3 Jr is a bargain. if you want to tube roll Chinook, and buy from Kevin at Upscale
