Angeboten wird „Stingray MK I“ von Manley Labs als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 1737431514 endet am 03.10.2026 um 12:14 Uhr.
€3,700 is ambitious against the recent comparable market, sitting well above the €3,134 75th percentile and far above the €2,525 median. On those numbers, it’s not a bargain; you’d want either exceptional cosmetic/functional condition, notable service history, or extras to justify paying this much.
That said, this is a well-regarded integrated with a strong following for its lively, spacious presentation and real drive, so a clean example can still be attractive to someone who wants its particular sound. For a unit priced above the top quartile, I’d want confidence on age-related service points, channel balance, and whether it’s been recently checked or recapped; if those boxes are covered, the premium becomes easier to defend.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Manley Laboratories emerged in the late 1980s in Chino, California, as a collaboration between EveAnna Manley and her then-husband, David Manley, founder of Vacuum Tube Logic (VTL). Their initial offerings were high-fidelity vacuum tube amplifiers and preamplifiers, hand-built at VTL's facility. By 1989, the brand expanded into professional audio with the Reference 60dB Microphone Preamplifier, followed by iconic equalizers and microphones debuted at the 1990 AES Show. In 1993, Manley became an independent entity, operating from its Chino factory until 2025, where custom transformers became a signature of its warm, detailed sound.
The company specializes in premium tube-based audio gear, spanning professional studio tools like the VOXBOX channel strip, Massive Passive EQ, Variable Mu compressor, and Reference microphones, alongside hi-fi amplifiers, preamplifiers, and equalizers. All products feature in-house design, assembly, and quality control, emphasizing analog purity over digital conveniences such as speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Manley holds a commanding position in the high-end boutique market, revered by recording engineers and audiophiles for its rich tonal character, uncompromising build quality, and iconic styling. Trusted in top studios worldwide, its gear commands premium prices and a devoted following, recently transitioning under new ownership by audio veteran Dirk Ulrich in 2025 while upholding its American-made legacy.
