Aesthetix Romulus Signature Upgrade Worth the $3,000 ?


Hi all,

I just purchased a "base" Aesthetix Romulus and am very happy with it. Has anyone had their unit upgraded to Signature or heard the base unit and Signature unit side by side? I am wondering what the sonic differences were and if you think it is a worthwhile upgrade. The vast majority of my units use is spinning cd's on a high resolution system. I would be particularly interested in the difference in dynamics and bass extension with the upgrade.

Thanks for looking!!

The answer is easy based on you saying you spin CDs. I owned this player and you only need the upgraded caps and resistors on the analog board to get the whole Signature upgrade when spinning CDs .  

I replaced the cheap yellow caps with Jupiter copper foil caps and Dynamicaps. I replaced the 4 resistors with the Vishay nude Z foils.
this is all that is upgraded on the analog board with the Signature upgrade. The total cost for parts was about $400.  

You our will have better resolution, darker background, better micro details, and a more airy top end.
