About the Chinook SE MkII
The Manley Laboratories Chinook SE MkII is a premium all-tube MM/MC phono preamplifier derived from the Chinook platform. Its Special Edition MkII configuration adds selectable 50 dB and 65 dB gain settings to the standard 45 dB and 60 dB choices, plus specially selected Gold Lion 6922 tubes. Rear-panel and internal DIP-switch settings provide extensive cartridge matching for moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. Manley lists the Chinook as a legacy product, replaced by the OASIS Phono Stage in July 2024; therefore the Chinook SE MkII is no longer a current manufactured model. Some published measurements and specifications vary slightly by revision or test method, so values are identified where appropriate.
