I’ve had an aesthetix Io phono stage for about 20 years. Sent it in for the signature upgrade last year and had a Boulder 1008 phononstage in the meantime. The aesthetix is a vastly superior phono stage in my opinion. And I use Boulder amplification
How good is Aesthetix audio?
Aesthetix audio always seems to run under the radar. They have been around for awhile but don’t seem to get a lot of attention. Here on Audiogon, they seem to pop up here and there, but never with any consistency. I have always heard good things about them but how do they stack up against their peers? Their top of the line Eclipse range has always fascinated me, especially their power amps, but kinda risky not having ever heard one or even knowing much about their sound.
