Whest Audio 60S Pro Phono Stage
The Whest Audio 60S Pro is an entry point into high-resolution vinyl playback, designed to complement high-end turntable systems while delivering the tonal neutrality and detail Whest is known for. Built on over 20 years of design expertise, it provides accurate signal amplification without adding coloration.
At its core is a newly developed hybrid input stage, combining a hand-selected monolithic op-amp with a high-current, all-discrete Class A transistor output stage. This design delivers higher resolution while avoiding the typical “op-amp” sound, resulting in a more natural and detailed presentation.
Key Features:
• High-resolution phono stage for analogue systems
• Hybrid input stage with monolithic op-amp and Class A output
• Fully Class A transistor output stage
• Hybrid extended RIAA equalisation
• Channel matched within 0.1 dB
• Modular internal design for low noise
• High copper content PCB construction
• Designed for tonal neutrality and accuracy
• Flexible system connectivity
Design & Performance:
The 60S Pro uses Whest’s hybrid extended RIAA filter, refined over two decades, now offering tighter performance across a wider bandwidth of 14 Hz to 80 kHz. Channel matching within 0.1 dB ensures precise stereo imaging and tonal balance.
The modular Class A output stage maintains low noise and preserves the integrity of the cartridge signal, while the high copper content PCB design improves conductivity and overall performance.
Connectivity:
• 1 × RCA input (turntable connection)
• Ground post for turntable grounding
• 2 × RCA stereo outputs (main system and secondary output)
• 1 × Balanced XLR output (for recording or external devices)
Technical Highlights:
• Wide bandwidth: 14 Hz – 80 kHz
• Channel matching: within 0.1 dB
• Hybrid input stage for improved resolution
• Fully Class A output stage
• Low noise modular architecture
• Designed for accurate, neutral sound reproduction
