Manley Reference clicks

During a vocal recording today, I noticed the occasional click on the recording (similar to that created when a digital system can't quite cope or it's clocks are out of sync) about once every minute or so. After checking all of the clocks etc. I realised that it was coming from pre-ADC source (I saw one spike on the pre-amp during a take). The mic is a Manley valve Reference.

Great! What does it do?

I've always wished I didn't have to be my own engineer, but being poor ... well, you all know the story. But I'm also a gear and gadget lover. So what drives me absolutely bonkers is when I see an ad for something that sounds like something I REALLY REALLY NEED but I don't have a clue what it does ... like this from the Musician's Friend website:
