The new Well Tempered Labs Phono Stage is the product of several lifetimes in high end audio. The WTL Phono allows MM cartridges to bloom and involve in a way I’ve never heard before and also works it’s magic with low output moving coil cartridges. In both absolute performance and value for money it is quite simply the best phono stage I have heard. This is an assertion that obviously warrants qualification so our detailed review explains why.
"The new Well Tempered Labs Phono Stage sets new standards in both value and performance for moving magnet cartridges. In doing so it causes us to question the assumption of placing precedence of the cartridge over the phono stage. On top of this, The WTL Phono Stage also works it’s magic with low output moving coil cartridges, and with an extremely broad range of easy to adjust settings, is compatible and indeed optimal with virtually any phono cartridge and amplifier on the market today.
The WTL Phono is our best performing phono stage offering you real material value for money and build quality. It delivers exactly what the Well Tempered Labs promise – ‘new music from your records’, making analogue both relevant and viable for any enthusiastic music listener."
