About the Chinook
The Chinook is a vacuum-tube phono stage for moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. It uses four 6922 dual-triode tubes, with two tubes in the gain stage and two in the output stage, and provides selectable 45 dB or 60 dB gain. Rear-panel settings allow cartridge matching through seven input-capacitance combinations from 50 to 350 pF and multiple resistive loading options; MM input impedance is 47 kΩ. The unit has unbalanced RCA inputs and outputs and a 91-ohm output impedance. Manley lists the Chinook as a legacy product, discontinued in 2024 and replaced by the Oasis Phono Stage.
