Whest Audio 60S Pro - Single Box Phono Stage
Entry-level into VERY high-resolution vinyl playback: the 60S Pro.
60Se Pro Review here
Built to complement your already high-end turntable front-end, the 60S Pro represents 20 years of precision audio design expertise.
Like its bigger siblings, the 60S Pro is tonally neutral, allowing you to hear everything at their correct levels. Neutrality is just one thing that is needed to be able to hear your cartridge’s signal properly.
With the 60S Pro, you get a totally NEW hybrid input stage: a hand-selected monolithic opamp driven into a high-current all-discrete transistor Class-A output stage. Yes, it is a bit of a mouthful, but this configuration allows for higher resolution and a complete departure from the ‘opamp’ sound. This ultra-low-noise input configuration is the finest example of whest ingenuity - thinking like no other manufacturer.
Our hybrid extended RIAA filter has been the mainstay of our designs for the past 20 years. The new 60 Series utilizes this tried-and-tested configuration, but now it is even tighter and still channel-matched to within 0.1dB across a wider band - 14Hz to 80kHz.
The output stage is again all Class-A and all transistor. Like the input stage, the output stage is built as a module for maintaining low noise and to ensure that the delicate cartridge signal gets through unscathed.
We use four times as much copper on all of our circuit boards compared to other manufacturers. This attention to detail takes us to a very different level and is just one area where we excel over others.
Connecting the 60S Pro like all whest audio phono stages is easy and flexible. 1 pair of audiophile quality RCA connectors for the input section with a substantial ground post for the turntable ground. For outputs, 2 stereo pairs are available via RCA, for connecting to a main system and a headphone amplifier. A 3rd output on balanced 3 pin XLR can be used to connect your 60S Pro to a stand-alone digital or analog recorder for accurate and low noise transfer work.
High resolution vinyl playback is just a skip-hop-jump away from being part of your system with the 60S Pro.
