Anyone compared Whest Audio with Manley Steelhead?


I have the Whest PsU .20 phonostage that sounds great, considering it costs $2,600. Wonder if it is worth upgrading to the Steelhead as there are used ones in the market.

thats nice of you for correcting his spelling judy, but can you answer the question, i would like to know as well, have you heard them ?
no, you're right, i think the main difference between the phono amps like the p-75 and the whest or the manley steelhead, or any other piece in that price range, is that dynavector is a piece of electronic equipment that serves it's purpose very well, and nothing else, whereas the whest, manley, etc. are beautifully made pieces of art, made of the finest materials, that also happen be an piece of electronic equipment, and they all sound different, and they all look different, and the price differences are astronomically different, but sonically, i don't hear much difference, but it's cool, because i also own a suite of burmester equipment, that i absolutely love, and it sounds great to me, and it looks awesome, so thats the way i see it, and i honestly think its silly to argue so much about what sounds awesome, or how this piece blows this piece away. but hey, i guess you gotta be into something, so why not audio.
i agree, downunder, i was very impressed with the p-75, i think the silence and clarity of it, comes from the unique power supply, from what i've read anyway, but the most important think is it sounds awesome.
btw downunder, nice system, i enjoyed looking at your pictures, i am definately not seeing too many deficiencies in there !!
