At HIGH END Vienna 2026, Wattson Audio, CH Precision’s sister company, will present the world premiere of the Madison Phono. Developed and manufactured entirely in-house in collaboration with CH Precision, Madison Phono extends Wattson’s engineering discipline into one of analog audio’s most demanding stages. It offers advanced cartridge loading, multiple EQ curves processed in the digital domain, and digital output for use with high-performance DACs, including Madison Streamer.
Madison Phono can be configured for three distinct input architectures, including an optical input for DS Audio and other optical cartridges. In Vienna, Wattson will demonstrate the new phono stage with both traditional moving-coil cartridges and optical phono transducers.
The Wattson system will be built around Kroma Atelier Stella loudspeakers and Organic Audio Reference cables, with Madison Streamer, Power S, and Madison Amplifier operating in mono mode, at Stage 1.3, Tech Gate Vienna, directly across the street from the main show.
