Hi Chris,

I never really reached the stage of experimentation: a chum had a Whest phono stage lying about, so I bought that one. It seems pretty good AFAICT, it just gets on with the job. I can't compare it with any others. During my arm-lead-nuisance time, it went back to Whest for a check-up, and they kindly optimised the gain for my Transfiguration Spirit. The whole thing sounds rather jolly. One recent visitor was kind enough to say that it was the first time she'd heard a Naim system play music.
