The key to the increased resolution of the whestTWO.2 Discrete is the all discrete transistor and

ultra low noise Class-A input stage. This all discrete stage has been modelled on the PS.40RDT

Special Edition’s discrete stage so is tried and tested. The ultra low noise level of these new input

stages is partly thanks to the use of a using 50 transistors in parallel and utilising this paralleling

effect to decrease the overall noise floor of the phono stage’s input stage. The increase in

dynamic range is due to the increased voltage and current capability .

Taking the whestTWO.2 further comes the new 2022 whestTWO.2 Discrete.  It is built to complement any entry level turntable front-end but more than that can be integrated into any high-end turntable front-end system because of its inherent high-resolution capabilities.

Like all whest audio phono stages the whestTWO.2 Discrete is tonally neutral and has plenty of current drive making it the perfect partner for any high-end system.  Like its smaller sibling, the whestTWO.2 Discrete owes much to our heritage in small signal design, design of microphone preamplifiers and our understanding of ultra-low-noise solid-state circuitry.

Connecting the whestTWO.2 Discrete 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, 1 stereo pair are available via RCA, for connecting to a main system.  A 2nd output on balanced 3 pin XLR can be used to connect your whestTWO.2 Discrete to a stand-alone digital or analog recorder or headphone amplifier for accurate and low noise transfer work or high quality headphone listening.

With the whestTWO.2 Discrete high-resolution vinyl playback is within your reach.
