Chazzbo,
I may be misinterpreting your response but I own a Whest and while it does not have the controls that the EAR 324, Rhea, or Steelhead have, you don't have to pop the top to adjust the cartridge load settings (if that was what you were referring to). The unit has RCA jacks in the back and comes with standard load plugs (100 and 47k ohms), plus you can have others made up or make up your own (I have 500 and 1k ohms in addition). If I misinterpreted your response I apologize, but I thought that was your point of reference.
Koocho - James Henriot is a gentleman and I am glad you're continuing to consider his designs.
