Aesthetix Rhea or Manley Steelhead

Both are hybrid tube phono stages; both allow 2 or more unique inputs; both are well received by the audio press.

Anyone heard both?

Quite frankly, if a product is difficult to set up and tune, then it is unlikely to acheive its best performance. The Manley allows front panel adjustment of almost every parameter.
