Pass Labs Xono vs. Aesthetix Rhea


Has anyone had both of these phono stages in their system?.
I may be adding a TT soon and these were recomended to me.
What are the strengths and weakness of these two phono preamps.

Thanks

Pass Xono
+ silent, good gain, reliable
- sounds sterile, thin and analytic, far away from the real thing

Aesthetix
+ multiple Phono Inputs, Remote, lots of settings and gains
- in higher gain the noise is too strong, lacks detail
