Description

The Whest Audio whestTHREE Discrete MM/MC Phono Preamplifier Adds High-End, High-Resolution Vinyl Sonics to Your System

The whestTHREE Discrete MM/MC Phono Preamplifier represents an important step forward for acclaimed brand Whest Audio. The whestTHREE takes the Signature version’s performance to the next level. In keeping with Whest's deep commitment to exceptional build quality and trailblazing innovations in phono stage design, the whestTHREE Discrete employs an internal suspension to separate the main sensitive audio circuitry from external vibrations.

Like its larger “sibling” components, the whestTHREE Discrete is utterly tonally neutral. As a result, you can experience the same quality of sound that you can hear from a phono stage that costs four times as much. This level of clarity, detail, and dynamics—along with the unit's ability to convey so much information from vinyl grooves—sets it apart from the competition.

Setting up the whestTHREE Discrete is easy. It has one pair of audiophile-quality RCA connectors for the input section, with a substantial ground post for the turntable ground. For outputs, one stereo pair is available via RCA, for connecting to a main system. A second output for balanced 3-pin XLR can be used to connect your unit to a stand-alone digital or analog recorder, or a separate headphone amplifier.

The whestTHREE is your pathway to endless listening sessions, allowing you to achieve a new level of appreciation for your favorite music. With the whestTHREE Discrete, the process of getting high-end, high-resolution vinyl into your system is a breeze. Plus, the whestTHREE preamp comes with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee.
