Whest ps.30r


Having owned both the Whest Ps .20 and .30r I am now ready to try another phono stage in the same price bracket. As much as I like the Whest for all it does well. ( soundstage;dynamics; incredible detail: and quiet) I find it to lack a certain amount of humaness for want of a better word. It has to my ears a definite transister sound to it. I am looking for something that has the same depth, detail;dynamics and quietness but with a touch more warmth. We can all quote and read reviews I am looking for answers with genuine personal experience. Thanks in advance

Mark,
With your recent upgrade to the Dynavector xx2, perhaps the time is right to move up to the rdt. I just upgraded my phono cable to the Synergistc tricon analog and bought a balanced JLS supercoductor3 interconnect to run between the whest and my Arc ref 3. These two cables made ahuge difference in my system. The bass improved and I was hearing deeper into the music...very neutral quiet cables. The difference I got with this change was greater than going from the R to the RDT. It really surprised me.

I'll second what Plato said about the Mac HC power cord. Frank Alles of Stereo Times is very bullish on this cable and said it really energized the performance of his Whest 30 rdt. It's very reasonably priced at $185 and does liven things up.
