Wavestream phono


All,

I talked to Brian at the Analog Room in CA about the Wavestream phono. 62db gain. Tube gain stage. I was told it would work very well with my Urushi. The Wavestream retails for $4500. Sounds like a steal at that price for what you get.

Nothing on the net about it yet. I did read some positive comments on this site. But I want more information.

Can anyone comment? Sound? Build quality? How does it compare to other phono stages like the Aesthetix, Manley, ASR, Lamm?

Thanks

I just talked with Brian at the Analogue Room and he seems to be saying that they (he owns Wavestream) are still in process with how they are going to present the product and that the price will be around $7k. The dust should settle by Vegas. A dealer network will be developed at that time.
I just replaced my BAT VK P10 SE with Super Pak with the Wavestream Deluxe Balanced Phono Stage and the Wavestream really outperforms it in every way. Its ease of loading and unlimited options make it hard to beat. Much more detailed and open with tight fast bass with slam. I can't wait for it to break in!!
