Whest Audio Titan Pro MM/MC Phono Preamplifier Features Obsessive Attention to Detail and Flagship Technology: Boasts Suspension System for Circuit Board and Much More

Whest Audio isn't modest when it comes to the arresting sound of its Titan Pro MM/MC phono preamplifier. Engineered to provide copious dimensionality, reference-grade harmonic resolution, lifelike musicality, and microscopic focus, the one-box unit claims flagship technology and a level of attention to detail that extends to innovative paint utilized within the interior to effectively damp the casework and reside any potential ringing. Yes, we're talking about the inside, not the exterior. With Titan Pro, Whest overlooked nothing.

Take, for instance, the OCC cabling throughout. Or the presence of a suspension system built just for the circuit board. It's another interior feature you won't regularly see, but, along with the aforementioned paint and the rigid, computer-machined, hand-welded, damped chassis, contributes to a virtual immunity from vibrations and distortions. As for that circuit board: It uses ultra-low-impurity copper throughout, and its copper weight is approximately twice that found in the majority of high-end preamplifiers. To maintain signal integrity, a new regulator system gets employed for the all-new Class A discrete input stage, itself based on the company's MC REF V MK4.

Titan Pro's hybrid RIAA equalization proves just as impressive, and trimmed to a tight tolerance for both curve and channel matching. Channel matching is within 0.12dB and RIAA curve accuracy to 0.18dB. (Both figures are across a bandwidth that spans from 9Hz to 62KHz.) Eight gain and eight load selections, along with a 76dB maximum gain, up the user-friendly flexibility, as does easy underside access to the controls. Factor in a pair of audiophile-grade XLR outputs, a pair of RCA inputs, and two pairs of RCA outputs (meaning you can permanently keep Titan Pro simultaneously connected to your stereo and computer for archiving), and the versatility continues to speak for itself.

Complete with ultra-matched critical components in the audio and DC paths, all done by channel so that each channel behaves exactly as its mate, Titan Pro will delight you with etched imaging, fluid soundstaging, and palpable low-frequency extension. Developed and tested with Ortofon, Lyra, Audio-Technica, and Van den Hul cartridges, it checks every possible analog mark. 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guaranteed.
