    Enjoying getting back into listening to my older vinyl classic rock albums. Have seen many positive reviews of the Schiit Mani Phono Preamp. Question: My vintage (1978) Kenwood has 2 phono inputs. Is a Mani only used when an amplifier does not have a phono input? Or is the Mani superior to the input of the Kenwood?

    Mani can be used in addition to, or instead of your Kenwood's phono inputs.

    You can run the Mani through your tuner, tape, or AUX inputs and compare it to the built in phono circuits in your Kenwood, which given the vintage might be pretty decent but I bet the Mani would compare favorably.
