Whest Audio whest 20.SP0 Phono Preamplifier

Whest are celebrating their 24th year with the introduction of an all new entry level phono stage - whest 20.SP0

The 20.SP0 takes the whole idea of 'entry-level' and completely squashes it with a topology that should really belong to phono stages in the £6000+ market. It has already been compared to side-by-side (A/B comparison) to a Vetere Calon Phono stage @ £15000 and the 20.SP0 came out on top in every area.

The chassis is a full width 430mm and just 60mm high. We have managed to do this by looking at how we could scale down the excellent 60Se Pro without losing too much of the whest essence OR whe-ssence. 

The 20.SPO is able to communicate the vinyl experience like no other sub-£6000 phono preamplifier.
