Aesthetix Rhea Signature and IO MK2

Your dealer is correct. The Io is much better than the Rhea, I have had both in my system and compared.

thanks Mr. Albert
i might stretch further to get IO signature will it be a big different against IO MK2. Now my pre is Calypso with NOS tele and amprex. this i will up grade to Callisto much later.
or should i stay with IO mk2 and put the saving towards Callisto std.
and up grade 1 year later. did anyone did that and regret.
thanks any feedback is appreciated.

Save the NOS tubes from your Calypso and use them in the IO, the IO is one of the finest phono stages ever built, I don't think you will ever regret going that way.

Callisto is equal to the IO, one of the best ever. Take this one step at a time, go for the best you can afford even if you have to wait on the other until later. In the end it will save several exchanges and trades and you will wind up with less money spent to be where you want to be.

As for standard versus upgrade, Aesthetix can upgrade later and you only pay for the parts needed to take it to the next level. Call Glenn (at Aesthetix) and ask, he's a great guy and easy to talk to.
