| Valve phono stage Have had the Aesthetix Rhea signature for a number of years. Balanced out, multiple arms supported, MC demagnetizer, and with some late 50s Amperex or Millard 12ax7 and 6dj8, for the money, it’s very hard to beat. You can find them used often, a... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso Tube rolling-what did you do? I went with Andy B over at VTS. Super stellar guy. Takes the time, wants to ensure you know what you are getting.

Looking forward to the see what the change will be. I'm certain for ... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso Tube rolling-what did you do? Thanks for the response. I have spent a good deal of this weekend crawling the web and it seems the Amperex Bugle Boys may be right up the alley for the 12ax 7 positions. Now to figure out the 6922, maybe Amperex 7308s? Maybe telefunken? Not t... |
