| Whest P.30R, P.30RDT and P.30RDT SE LewnI think that over the years, like many, I was lead to believe that I always needed to change my turntable/arm/cartridge and leave the phonostage alone as I was told that 'these are all pretty much the same'. How wrong was I, how wrong was the ... | |
| Whest P.30R, P.30RDT and P.30RDT SE DevYes, if you need knobs and stuff on the front of your stage then the Rossner & Sohn sounds marvelous but for shear musical enjoyment I'd take the Whest everytime.As for switching over. In the 27 years of having a vinyl playback system I hav... | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions i say keep the whestTWO and get a better cartridge. My son is using the whestTWO with a dynavector XX2 Mk2 and its bloody good. changing the 2M now seems a bit wrong. If you have to upgrade get a Whest PS.30R | |
| Modwright LS36.5 tubes Well I got to hear an LS36.5 with newer Reflektor DRs. The guy was also kind enough to bring it around to my house and I borrowed James' stock 36.5. After initial warmup of about 12 hours I envited all around for some listening.the system is an an... | |
| What will raising the Va of atransformers provide? Stanwalhigh-end audio reproduction doesn't work like that. If it did work the 'theoretical way' then a bigger power supply or larger VA rating on a transformer on a preamp would do absolutely nothing! As we all pretty much know though, it does mak... | |
| Modwright LS36.5 tubes Thank you. I'll check that outDirk | |
| What will raising the Va of atransformers provide? Firstly lets get this Class-A and AB thing sorted out.Class-A: This is where the transistors that operate both the negative and positive going parts of the waveform are ALWAYS on. The reason why Class-A amplifiers get hot is because the transistor... | |
| Phono pre-amplifier just to throw a spanner in the works....The Whest Audio whestTWO can be had for about 500 euros in B-graded format from their site (every now and then). This REALLY will blow away the rest of them. I had a while back a chance to try a Cambridge 64... | |
| Stand out phono stages I sold my Allnic H-3000 to move to the Whest Audio MC REF V MK4. The Whest is SOOO much better! The Allnic is just far too smooth like the other phono units in their range.I suppose if you are into tubes it's a good buy, but it 'covers' over too m... | |
| Audible Illusions 3A or Modwright SWL9.0Signature? Hi SunnyI currently have in my system the SWL9.0 Signature and it is excellent. I don't know the AI-3A but if it anything like the Modwright I would be shocked. The 9.0SE is pretty transparent and betters any Levinson or Krell unit and certainly m... | |
| Whest P.30R, P.30RDT and P.30RDT SE I own the PS.30RDT SE as well as a REF MK4 and the load and gain changes are simple! Unless you are changing cartridges every 10 minutes I can't see why you would want to change settings regularly? I've never needed to change settings regularly an... | |
| Whest P.30R, P.30RDT and P.30RDT SE I've now had all of them over the years and compared them to many many others. I'm now on the BIG MC REF V MK4 which is quite amazing but not part of this thread. Depending on your system and funds I would go for straight for the PS.30RDT Special ... | |
| An evening with the Whest PS.30RDT Special Edition Well since my GREAT evening in with the Whest PS.30RDT Special Edition I decided to put in into my second system and have upgraded to the Whest top-of-the-line MC REF V MK4. I've read some fantastic things about it and very briefly heard one but h... | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm what cart are you using? Hi DevI'm using the Ortofon A90 on a TW AC. The combination is GREAT.The front end is:TW AC/TW 10.5/ A90/ Whest Audio MC REF V MK4 phonostage. | |
| Whest Audio MC REF V MK4. My new toy. Audiofeil and Lewn: REALLY....vintage? Do I have to? I really enjoy the system I have now. What is the point of adding another phonostage to an already GREAT system, just to play around with vintage MM? Technics EPC 100C - I have a very open mind ... |
