Pass Labs Xono vs. Aesthetix Rhea

Has anyone had both of these phono stages in their system?.
I may be adding a TT soon and these were recomended to me.
What are the strengths and weakness of these two phono preamps.

Thanks

I have owned the Rhea and auditioned a recent Pass phono (XP15 I think).

I found the Pass very detailed but tonally thin and sterile. electric guitars were just wrong.

The Rhea was pleasant, on the warm side, but a little noisy.
More to discover
