Aesthetix Rhea?



I was wondering if the noise issue's that I have read about on audiogon have been taken care of with current production units.
If you own one, how do you like it? and did you change the stock tubes?

No noise issues here. Bought one used a couple of years ago and last year replaced all the tubes with a new set from Aesthetix. This allowed me to go one gain stage higher and drop any remaining the tube rush considerably. Bass tightened and soundstage became larger, more low level/ambient retreival.

One of the finest phono stages around.
I should have added that I run my Helikon at 62 dB (whereas only 56 dB with the original tubes) and at 125 Ohms.
