Second Tvad's suggestion. If I where pushed to select, I would go for the K&K. I've owned a Rhea and have heard the K&K along side my Alaap. The K&K is far and away more preferable to my ears. Your Coronet should be a great sounding unit given what I've heard from other Hagerman gear. It would probably benefit from a larger, more over-built power supply. That is also my impression of the K&K, but to a lesser degree, and I haven't heard all of Kevin's mods.
K&K Maxxed-out vs Aesthetix Rhea
I'm thinking of upgrading my phono pre, now I'm using a Hagerman Cornet made with naked Vishay, PRP resistors, Mundorf, Sonicap and V-caps.
My system consist of Michell Gyro, tecnoarm, Shelter 90x, Atma-Sphere M-60, Atma-Sphere MP-3 (line only) and GMA Eos HD.
I was thinking of spending around $2500, witch is the price for a used Rhea or the price for K&K kit with all the options.
I was wondering if somebody had the chance to compare these two phono stages?
Thank you
