Manley Shrimp vs. Manley Jumbo Shrimp


Hi everyone,

Is there anyone of you who had the chance to compared the Manley Shrimp preamplifier vs. the Jumbo Shrimp? I saw that two tubes where added in the Jumbo version, plus the remote and its potentiometer.

Is there any influences on the sound from one model to another.

Thank you,

Sébastien

Haven't compared them but I did own a Jumbo Shrimp (wonderrful preamp!) before I got a Steelhead and the dealer explained to me that the Jumbo also had an updated power supply which hypothetically increased the dynamic range. If this is about making a decision as to which one to purchase, I would definitely go with the Jumbo and enjoy the Remora remote for the volume and knowing that you have the latest design and form factor.
Hi Stevecham,

Yes, I think that I'll go with the Jumbo Shrimp. I'd like to have the remote.

A friend of mine has a Jumbo Shrimp and a Chinook. He consider to buy a Steelhead to use it as a phono preamp (for sure!), but also as a preamplifier. Do you tried this with yours?

Have a good day,

Sébastien
