Anyone have or heard the Whest PS.20

Not much in the threads as yet on this new 2 box Phono pre. Ive read the reviews and it looks promising. In fact the superlatives( Fremer again) is comparing it to some lofty components. A friend and fellow audiogon member has one on order, so Ill most likely hear it myself before too long. Any comments?

I too own the Whest PS.20, however it is boxed up along with the rest of my system as our new home is under construction.

However, fellow audiogoner Kehut was kind enough to invite myself with TT over to his pad. I know he has a blurb and some photos on his website about the afternoon.

For the turntable, phono stage, & cartridge all being new with about 50 hours on it, as well as the power cord, it sounded suprisingly good.

I will hopefully post much more once I get my system back out of boxes and set up...

Clio09,

I would assume you will find your unit has plenty of gain for your cartridge. My Whest was one of the units from the batch sent over in early March, so I am assuming having the 58dB for MC as well. My cartridge is an Airy 3S-SB which is LO (.24mV) and it seemed to be just fine going through Kehut's Manley Stingray integrated.

Hope this offers you some solace until the unit gets there and you can verify for yourself. Please keep us posted on your thoughts and assesment.
