Keep it short and sweet - 60Se Pro

Hello whest Team.
Thank you for the chance to write something for your website blog page.
I have been a very proud owner of a J.Sikora Standard MAX turntable which is a great piece of engineering.
The sound has always been very good through my BAT VK-P90 MK2.  I do love the BAT products but one of your clients told me to look at your whest 60Se Pro phono stage before upgrading to a BAT VK-P90 Gen3.  My inital thought was that the whest is much cheaper but then I read on a few forums that price does not equal performance in the audio game and this is reflected in the 2026 60Se Pro.  

The J.Sikora Standard MAX into the whest 60Se Pro is heaven.  It is very different to the BAT in a very good way.  The BAT sounds like Ai where the 60Se Pro sounds like master tape.  The 60Se Pro brings out much more of the J.Sikora turntable than any other phono stage I have tried with this turntable.  The dynamic range is quite amazing to the point where I have to turn the volume down a little as the 60Se Pro is able to reach louder peaks much faster and with precisely too.  The soundstage is definitely much bigger in a more real way.  The BAT is big in an artificial way, much like a tube amp way. 

Other forum users have told me that the BAT VK-P90 Mk2 and Gen3 are quite similar and although the Gen3 is better it is not that much better and not worth the upgrade.  This 60Se Pro is a definitely a BIG upgrade.,  It is not small and should be used with any and all serious turntables and by all music lovers.  Next is a TITAN Pro II but in 2028 maybe.
