The new Gold Standard
Since its very beginnings, WBT has had difficulties attracting the attention of the hi-fi community to its products and innovations. Often dismissed as a triviality, the Essen-based company refined its diverse plugs and sockets into high-precision, state-of-the-art high-tech gems that meet audiophile requirements. The best example of this development is WBT's "Nextgen" line, which uses constructive tricks and a combination of metals and plastics to reduce eddy current and memory effects, thus making a significant step forward in terms of sound quality.
