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

I went from a PS.30R to PS.30RDT. The RDT has far better dynamics, soundstage, bass definition and sounds more lucid than the PS.30R. Yes, like most audio equipment a better interconnect and mains cable will make a 'difference', so saying that the PS.30R is cable sensitive is a bit of a 'non-comment'.

I found that many other stages had either too much 'hushing' noise when using low output MCs. I've used a DL-304 with a PS.30R in the past and it was absolutely quiet!

Try the PS.30RDT. It's quite an upgrade on the PS.30R and maybe closer to what you need.
