Angeboten wird „Jumbo Shrimp“ von Manley Labs als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „Röhren-Vorverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 889455813 endet am 26.07.2026 um 15:15 Uhr.
At €5,500, this asking price sits near the median of the typical used market for the Manley Jumbo Shrimp, which generally ranges from €1,000 for older units to €4,500–€5,000 for pristine, original-owner examples; it is a fair price, not a bargain, but certainly not ambitious given the current new cost of €4,999 (≈$4,999). The Jumbo Shrimp is well-regarded for its all-triode, minimalist signal path with zero global feedback, delivering exceptional transient accuracy, wide bandwidth (10Hz–80kHz), and high output headroom through premium tubes (12AT7, 5670, 7044). Its AccuTrack Alps volume control with remote, five RCA inputs, parallel outputs, and 95dB S/N ratio make it a versatile, transparent line preamp that excels in modern systems. With original-owner condition and likely included accessories, this represents a solid buying opportunity for a fellow enthusiast seeking a reliable, high-performance tube preamp without new-premium pricing.
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.
