Forward thinking
Because of our close links with the music recording industry we were able to measure several
Neumann cutter heads prior to cutting a master onto acetate. What we found was that the cutter head
would cut high frequency all the way to 50khz!
With these results and the research acquired from the DAP programme in 2004, we then designed an
hf filter that would complement the RIAA filter we had designed for the famed PhonoStage.20. This has
now been incorporated into the whestTHREE phonostage. Because of the extended hf response of the
whestTHREE Signature, large amounts of information are now able to be heard when it was once
thought there was nothing there!
The extended hf enables you to hear further into the soundstage by bringing to life the lowest
frequencies of a kick drum and positioning all instruments to form a three dimensional soundstage.
It is partly because of the extended hf response that the whestTHREE excels where others just plainly
fail.
