Io line out mod?


I have an Aesthetix Io with volume control. This is really a phono stage but in my system it works fine as preamp. However, it lacks line out (only xlr + rca variable outputs) which I need for recording purposes. I think this is sometimes easy to fix by some soldering. Does anyone know if it is possible in this case?

I would contact Aesthetix about this.

It might be fairly easy to tap off a pair of connections in the circuit just before the volume control. Hopefully the device connected here has a high enough input impedance to not affect the Io's circuit. You would need to punch out a couple of holes for the new line-level jacks on the back panel. The Io's back panel is already fairly busy as you know so this might be tricky as well.
I owned an Io with that feature. Jim White did it when Aesthetix upgraded my Io to Signature level. It shows that it can be done. Contact Aesthetix directly and find out what they charge.
Thanks a lot, especially Jafox, and also Gerrym5. Living far away., with huge shipment cost, I think about doing this myself. If it doesn't work I can remove it. Tell you more when i've tried it. Greetings, Oystein.
