Other Notes: 

"The Aesthetix Rhea is an all-tube phono stage with 40–75dB selectable gain and nine loading settings from 75 to 47,000 ohms. This dual-mono design utilizes 10 tubes and an all-aluminum chassis to produce a warm, "creamy," and spacious soundstage. It features three separate inputs, each with memory for gain and loading settings, allowing for effortless cartridge optimization without manual recalibration. A built-in demagnetizer and remote-controlled adjustments add to its extreme flexibility. The Rhea is renowned for capturing the emotional "gestalt" of a performance through its deep, layered presentation, making it a highly acclaimed choice for vinyl enthusiasts seeking a palpably musical experience.

Reviewers state "the Rhea sounds wonderful and is as musical as one could ever want with a bit more sense of space." This phono stage is a stable, high-performance cornerstone for any analog setup, delivering a rich musicality that honors the soul of every recording."
