The Oasis is a comprehensive phono stage from Manley, a well-established American manufacturer known for accomplished tube-informed electronics engineering, built with an exhaustive selectable MC loading range and four-position gain. The Oasis brings Manley's considered engineering to dedicated phono preamplification.
Key specs that matter
One single-ended input is provided. MC current-sensing input impedance offers an exhaustive selectable range of 26-800 ohms, or 47,000 ohms for MM. Output impedance is 104 ohms. Gain is selectable across four positions - 45, 50, 60, or 65dB - a comprehensive range covering a variety of cartridge output levels. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB.
Sound and use context
Expect a clean, precisely optimisable phono-stage performance reflecting the exhaustive MC loading range combined with the four-position gain selection, allowing fine-tuned matching for virtually any cartridge type.
Pairing
The exhaustive 26-800-ohm MC loading range and four-position gain accommodate virtually any moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridge precisely.
Alternatives
Other manufacturers' comparable tube-informed phono stages offer alternatives for buyers wanting to compare features at a similar price point.
