Thanks for the offer Scott, but i contacted James Henriot at Whest audio, and luckily they had one that i have agreed to purchase. Although it was more than i wanted to pay, it will be checked over and will come with a six month warranty, so i'm really pleased with that. :)

[daytona600]

no problem andrew , glad you found a nice whest unit

I had to look that over a while to work out this was not a joke.
What sort of kit does it compare to ?

[lewis]

Cheers Scott. :cool:

[lewis]

Have you heard one ?

No, but i'm going on reviews and recommendations. If it doesn't suit, i'm sure i won't have any trouble selling it on.

I work on that basis when I buy from Ebay. (not that I've sold anything yet !)
I've heard Martin T's PS30 and was impressed.
Assume the 20 is nearly as good
The Whest B items look interesting on price. What did you pay ?
PM if you don't want to publicise

I paid £650, and when you consider it will be checked over and come with six months warranty i can't complain. There's one on ebay now for £925, so i'm very pleased with mine. :)

Oh yes nice price
I misses out on a couple of Twos recently at just under £350

no joke mike , bluecircle top products are 30grand

this uses components/design from there top phono stages like the BC703
to save costs they put them inside a plastic drain pipe filled with silicon
thingee is a range of products built at customers request to save money
you can upgrade the power supply and add capacitor banks
I do not sell the usual black boxes

I've had another reply from James at Whest Audio today. I mentioned to him that in future i want to upgrade to a low output moving coil, and he suggested converting the ps.20 to a dual input mc, with 55db, and 65db outputs. I can use the 55db output with my current dv20, and the 65db output when i use a low output mc in the future. This extra work will bump the price to £730, so an extra £80, but i will have a top quality phonostage, with all the updates available, and it will also come with a 12 month warranty.

I'm happy with that!
