Great to hear! I actually own the Whest phono amp as well - just haven't heard it yet. :o It was part of my new analog rig and the dealer is actually tweaking my table/cartridge/amp as we speak. However, I can only give my opinion on what I hear at his place, as my system is now "moth balled" in boxes awaiting the next move... our home sold and we are awaiting the completion of the construction on our new home. I had spoken with many people about a solid performing phono amp in this price range and I kept getting steered in the direction of the Whest. Please keep us posted on sonic changes during/after break-in! Thanks in advance.
