Snapper review from The Inner Ear Report 6/2004
- Total Rave! Manley
Snapper review from AVGuide.com 3/2003
"The Snapper's excelled in the
biggest of all tests for an audio component— they consistently
proved able to produce satisfying sound when reproducing music I
had heard performed in concert the day before. Commonly, such
audio sessions have left me disappointed and depressed, especially
if I had come to think my system was making really good sound in
the days before hearing a live performance. Yet time and again the
Snapper's made sound that was, though clearly reproduced,
nevertheless so fulfilling that I found myself comparing
performance practices or interpretations between the live and the
reproduced music rather than the quality of the sound, a
remarkable experience."

Snapper review from Image Hifi 6/2006
The test report puts the SNAPPERS second to none in their category.
Roland
Kraft: "They are without any doubt the quickest, liveliest and most
thrilling
high performance tube amps I have ever encountered. They may not
be quite as
colorful as triodes, however offer a bass foundation that
triodes are never
able to deliver."

STEELHEAD Michael Fremer Stereophile 12/2001
"The Steelhead is the most flexible,
user-friendly phono section I've ever encountered."
"Overall, the Steelhead delivered the best vinyl playback
I've heard from my
system. It combined speed, frequency extension, resolution,
harmonic
structure, focus, air, stage depth, image specificity, and, most
important,
overall musical coherence in a way that made the music seem to fly
from the
speakers unrestrained by mechanical or electrical bounds."

WAVE review from 21st 12/2006

review on HIGH Fidelity.pl 4/2007 In
Polish!
"Manley Wave
sounds very nice - strong, a little bit warm, with
filling all
soundstages depth, without even a slide a "technic"
character. It was the
Wave that shows that Wadia 27 ix was maybe a little
to forward with
cleaning up the sound. Despite a little "tubey"
shadow (I am embarrassed
that I am talking about cliche but it is one of the
way to communicate too)
but it's higher middle tones was accurate and strong
and it wasn't known
from a start that it is a tube-based stuff."
