whest 20.DP0 - The New Standard in high-resolution playback
type: Product
description: See it playing on Instagram @whestworld The Whest Audio 20.DP0 phono stage represents the most significant advance in mid-range phono preamplifier design in years. Built around a true dual-mono, fully discrete Class-A architecture, the 20.DP0 eliminates channel cross-contamination entirely — each channel has its own independent signal path, power supply filtering, and output stage — for a level of stereo separation and imaging precision that is simply not achievable with shared-rail designs. True Dual Mono Architecture — Why It Matters In a conventional phono stage, both channels share a common power supply rail and often portions of the signal path. This creates a fundamental limit on stereo separation and introduces subtle but audible colouration between channels. The 20.DP0 solves this at source: two completely independent mono signal chains operating in parallel, housed in a single premium chassis. The result is a soundstage of exceptional width and depth, with instrument placement that is precisely locked and completely stable — even at high volume levels and with the most demanding MC cartridges. True dual mono topology — fully independent left and right channel signal paths Fully discrete Class-A transistor stages — no opamps anywhere in the audio path Ultra-low crosstalk for maximum stereo separation and precise imaging Extended RIAA equalisation with sub-0.1dB channel matching across a wide bandwidth Compatible with MM and low-output MC cartridges — user-configurable via rear DIP switches Full 5-year Whest Audio warranty The Phono Preamplifier Behind the 2025/26 whestTWO.2 Upgrade The 20.DP0's circuit topology formed the basis for the 2025/26 whestTWO.2 redesign — a measure of just how foundational and advanced this design is. Owning the 20.DP0 means owning the architecture at the heart of Whest Audio's current generation of phono stages. Hear it on our Instagram page @whestworld
