"Soundstaging is a beautifully three-dimensional and solid. The dynamics are stunningly transient and fine dynamics are elegant and accurate - and with this performance, can claim to be one of the very best phonostages on the market"

I am so proud to say that I am now part of the whest audio family. The new Mastering Buffer Model BII in Black arrived yesterday, just in time for an early Christmas. My CD player is what I consider a very good unit – Roksan M2 Caspian. It may not be the best in the world but it is a very nice player that I have always felt was easy to listen to. What I didn’t like about it was that it wasn’t vastly different to my previous M1 and other players that my friends have purchased. With the Mastering Buffer BII added it is completely different. I don’t recognise it at all. The reporduction now sounds ‘lifelike’. Every instrument has weight and body. Even triangles have weight – if that makes sense. I cannot believe what I am hearing. It sounds so real. I know that there will be plenty of people that will not believe you and this product but it is their loss. This is by far the best CD player combination I have ever heard. Really. I know that my friend Jacques is currently purchasing a unit too for his Exposure 3010 S2 CD. Thank you again Sarah and James. A marvelous achievement.

Your email lit a fire and I ducked out of a Zoom meeting to test the Mastering Buffer. H*LY SH*T !!!! My first reaction is that it makes CDs sound 1000% better. I played Alice Coltrane’s ‘Ptah El Daoud’ first running directly out of my Marantz CD6005 in the the ATC preamp…then I added the Model BII and it was like I’d flipped a switch. EVERYTHING is bigger, brighter, bolder, fuller…ore life, more shape, more presence. I am blown away. This is going to bring me so much joy (I have thousands of CDs)…
I’ll write more as I continue testing it, but I have to say that I am bowled over. I plan to spend the evening listening.

Digital Audio Playback done the whest audio way !!!
I have just plummed in my whestTWO.2 into my system (Thorens TD550/ Jelco 750) and I can instantly hear the improvement over the Naim Stageline/ HiCAP phonostage. It’s a big improvement all around. I can hear more from beyond the loudspeakers and vocals are very well projected into my room now. The Naim was a little weak in the vocal department. Lovely upgrade.

MORE INFO >>Our first product in the world of vinyl playback was the acclaimed 2-box PS.20/ MsU.20 which won awards worldwide and was compared to other phonostages costing 10x its price in the magazines. Stereophile magazine and Michael Fremer (the audiophile guru) put us on the map with the PS.20/MsU.20.
We strive to push the boundaries of vinyl playback with new designs and topologies. We don’t copy like the rest, we don’t guess like the rest and we certainly don’t think ‘in the box’ like the rest. Our testimonial page does speak for itself which is where we find the truth lies.
Since 2005 we have been pushing the boundaries of phonostage and small signal design …….. and we’ve only just started.
