@zkidd I settled on a Tavish Adagio phone pre and I love it.

@audioartcable I also own the Adagio and I've been curious about tube rolling it.  Do you mind posting which tubes you purchased and from where?  Thanks! 
Looking to power my Rega R9's
@ethos123 - No worries at all!  I really appreciate all the guidance you and everyone else provided.  I think I may try a Yamaha 3070 from Amazon - If it doesn't do the trick I'll simply return it and then look for a used receiver that has pre-out... 
Looking to power my Rega R9's
@ethos123 - Thanks again!  I have a quick question regarding my Yamaha receiver.  It doesn't have a pre-out.  A pre-out isn't necessary in this situation, correct?  Would I simply run audio RCA out to HTB/Theater bypass rca in?Then run the R9's ex...

@ethos123 - Thank you so much!  I will definitely check the url out.  This is a solid direction for me to check out (thumbs up)-George

@akg_ca - My wife will kill me if I try to purchase the OSIRIS - it goes for 10 grand.  I purchased the R9's used for just under $1500 on US Audio Mart.  I'll keep on the look out for a solid pre-amp as my receiver has a pre out.  My budget is pro...

@mulveling  thank you!  I just found a Manley Chinook on here :-)  I sent a message to the seller regarding what else is included (ie type of tubes, packaging).  Hopefully it's still available.  Once he answers back I'll make him an offer, hopeful...

@gdhal  - hopefully they will look into the matter and make some changes to how they interact with their customers pending a response on  a warranty repair.  It would be great if they issued case numbers with the ability to look up your case numbe...

No worries, @gdhal - I received an email from Schiit that my Mani was repaired and on its way back to me.  This will buy me some time to research a bit more and look for a good deal on a replacement phono preamp, while the Mani will become my back...

@mulveling unfortunately, he didn't accept my offer as someone else offered him the asking price.  I'm still researching as I'm taking the advice from you and several others (spend a little more=future proof) rather than having to upgrade again do...

@tablejockey - I sent a note to the seller offering $1450 as you suggested :-) Appreciate all the guidance I’m receiving (fist bumps all around)

Thanks for the responses again guys.  I've been googling the rec's posted here and I'm eyeing the budgie.  I love tubes, I previously owned a MG Head OTL tube headphone amp and it sounded glorious with my sennheiser HD580's.  I'll probably go for ...

Wow, thanks for the replies guys! @williewonka - I love the mani, it's a wonderful sounding unit, I have no complaints about the sound, very detailed and clean.  Bass thunders when it's supposed to and overall the sound is very cohesive and fun.  ...
