Welcome to the Whest Audio

Whest Audio is a London-based specialist manufacturer of Class-A phono stage preamplifiers, hand-built for vinyl playback since 2003. We design and assemble every unit ourselves, with no outsourcing — from entry-level phono stages for first-time vinyl listeners to reference-grade preamplifiers used in professional mastering studios.

Every Whest Audio phono stage uses discrete transistor Class-A circuitry, ultra-low noise engineering, and precision RIAA equalisation — supporting both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. Our products have been reviewed and used by audiophiles, recording engineers, and archiving specialists worldwide.

This is us — specialists in phono stages and small signal product design. Nothing more, nothing less.

    'The 60Se Pro’s ability to bring the orchestra into your room, to have those soaring violins, the deep rumble of the basses, rasp of the brass, incisive shrillness of some of the high woodwind – yes, the sound quality is magical.'

    Chris Beeching - The ear.net
