Audiophiles Are Discovering the TRUTH About Tube Amplifiers

On this episode of the Axpona Audio Insider Podcast, Lenny sits down with EveAnna Manley of Manley Labs, one of the most respected names in high-end American audio. EveAnna shares how she got started in the industry, how her first solo design—the Stingray—helped define the Manley sound, and why building powerful, honest-sounding tube gear in California remains at the heart of what they do. From 100-watt Snappers to 500-watt monoblocks, she explains how Manley delivers serious performance without the inflated price tags seen elsewhere in the market. The conversation also touches on pairing amps with speakers like Klipsch Heritage, navigating global tube supply issues, and why mastering studios became her reference point for sound. EveAnna opens up about her passion for American manufacturing, the team that builds every piece in Chino, and even shares a bit about her life outside audio as a longtime motorcyclist. It's an inside look at a company that's built its reputation on performance, integrity, and a whole lot of tubes.
