- The Legend of The Stingray -
It all began at the HI-FI ‘97 show. We find the protagonists of this tale seated comfortably at the bar,
of course - J. Gordon Holt with his traditional martini, and EveAnna Manley with her stimulant of choice,
a cup of coffee. She was describing a new integrated amplifier she wanted to build, and proceeded to
make one of those legendary “bar-napkin drawings”. Gordon remarked, “It looks like a stingray [the fish,
not the car]...” and thus, in honor of Gordon, we called this little jobbie “The Stingray”.
Now, in 2008, we have revisited that time-tested design and made a few improvements. In keeping
with current societal trends, we’ve also managed to get our paws on the trademark for “iTube” and are
now quite pleased to be able to use it. As a company building predominently vacuum-tube equipment, we
are never one to be behind the times. Thank you for supporting Manley Laboratories, and we truly hope
the Stingray iTube brings you as much enjoyment as possible. Thanks again.
