I have the BAT with upgraded caps and new transformers. Too tight for tube bloom for sure. I'm sure the Aesthetix has it's own positives, can't speak to that. The BAT hammers the music home though.
Aesthetix Rhea vs. BAT VK P-10 Phono Stage
Has anyone ever had the opportunity to compare these great Phono stages? What if anything are the sonic differences? They look a lot alike on the insides. Both have 10 tubes.Which one has more micro information, bass and air? Is one better than the other? What tubes are best?
