I have heard the Aesthetix IO signature but I would not list it as the best I've ever heard.
I have heard the Boulder briefly, but seriously, $25,000??? If I had the money I would still not buy a $25,000 phono section.
The Rhea is good, but a little too noisy for me.
The best one that I've spent any time with is the Pass Labs X-Ono.
Based on information I have gotten directly from friends who are owners of the Manley Steelhead I am think seriously of buying one.
So there, you have another post that really doesn't offer much help...
