I had hoped for a stronger signal than it provides as a pre-amp into my receiver but I will keep it because it works as advertised and I like the Bluetooth connectivity.

I was having a hard time finding a phono preamp that had Bluetooth transmission. Most Bluetooth transmitters are set up for tv, computer or projectors and the like. I was looking for something with analog RCA inputs when I ran across the Manayo PM5-BT I figured I’d finally found exactly what I was after. It even had a phono/line switch and ground post! The only problem was there was a black hole regarding info on this unit such as what compression codecs it used and what compatibility it would have with the headphones I wanted to use with it. There is an older version of this without separate bass/treble or Bluetooth transmission which had more info on it and it seemed well enough rated so I took the risk on this unit. I think this is a somewhat new (2024) item from Manayo. Luckily, the risk paid off. It paired with my beats wireless headphones effortlessly and matches the turntable rather well. I never did find out what type of compression this unit uses and for that I dinged it one star but it is working great, I was able to wear my headphones on another floor of the house and didn’t loose connection and the sound is actually rather clean. I wish there was a little more headroom in the volume department but it seems loud enough for most of the music I’ve been listening to. Now I can have a record player in the living room without needing a whole component set up, just this little guy transmitting to my wireless speakers and headphones.A side note, there does appear to be a bit of latency so I wouldn’t try to use this with a tv as the lip syncing will always be a bit off I’m afraid. I’m using it for music only and it should do that perfectly.
