The cord is roughly 5ft. long. If you want cables those are a different part. We have RCA cables in the that are 10" in length. **Q: Does it come with a power supply?** A: Yes. Comes with power supply, and instructions. Also comes factory preset for MM type stylus and 48 decibel gain. Gain has only 3 settings: 33,48,60. Other settings are fine as is unless you have MC stylus or something else. Factory 48db is a little much for classical music (crescendos occasionally clip) but seems fine for other music, at least with my Pioneer Elite(had to set @ 33db and dedicate 1 MCACC setting with 7db gain on all channels). Might be different with other systems. You will also need quality stereo cables to get the most out of it. I use Worlds Best Cables directional quads. They brought out even more bass, and more accurately too. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Arrived earlier than expected! *by S***G on 29 July 2025* Fast delivery. Great packaging. Item worked well. Came 5 days earlier than expected . Seller emailed about why tracking would not be available. Excellent delivery and communication. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent Quality. Good Spund *by M***0 on 26 May 2025* I bought this pre amp to see if it would improve the sound over my Yamaha AS801 onboard phono stage. It is a slight improvement. It took a while to break it in and for the sound to really clean up but it offers a slight improvement over what I had before. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this! *by B***M on 15 September 2025* Noticeably quieter background blackness between notes. • Sharper stereo imaging with instruments more precisely placed. • More “sparkle” on top and solidity in the low end. • More “life” in recordings you already know well. Tighter, more controlled bass — kick drums and bass guitar have more definition instead of blending. • Clearer midrange — vocals step forward and separate better from instruments. Drums sit behind vocals center stage • Crisper highs without harshness — cymbals and guitar strings feel more “alive.” • Flexibility — multiple gain and loading options, so it works with a wider range of cartridges and lets you “dial in” the sound, but Once it’s set, you can forget it! (Note I found run 6db plus 6db (12 total) on the dip switches for filtering on my system using a subwoofer, best for tighter, more defined bass) • Overall presentation is more dynamic, lively, and spacious-the sound stage expands and is defined ## Frequently Bought Together - Schiit Mani 2 Phono Preamp for MM, MC, and MI Cartridges (Black) - Monoprice 1.5ft Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable - Black - Amazon Basics 2 RCA Audio Cable for Amplifier,Active Speakers or Subwoofer with Gold-Plated Plugs, 4 Feet, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/736452893-schiit-mani-2-phono-preamp-for-mm-mc-and-mi](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/736452893-schiit-mani-2-phono-preamp-for-mm-mc-and-mi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-19*
