if the rest of your system is suitable, a passive linestage might work very well - TVC or resistive
Linestage needed
Hi, I have recently purchased an Aethetix Rhea with reference mods done by Great Northern sound of which I am very pleased. The linestage is provided by an AR sp9 mklll
also with ref mods by Gnsc. The problem is the sp9 is inherantly noisy, by that I mean when you attenuate the volume without source there is a hiss from both speakers equally. Now without buying the Calypso to go with the Rhea is there another linestage out there that would not be noisy and not cost a fortune? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard
