What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature


I'm not a consistent contributor, but I do like to read the blogs here on the forum.  I find many of them are BS, which I'm sure a lot of you do, but pay attention to some of the older or more frequent contributors, as well as the young. I am 66 years young , but haven't been able to afford the equipment I desire, until that last 15 years.  Priority-home and food.  When I was was a bout 4 or 5, I visited my my grandparents house, and found my uncle, my dads brother, who later was premiered on the American Bandstand, connecting external speakers to my grandmas hi-fi.  He had them strung out from room to room. My grandma loved Tennessee  Ernie Ford, Jim Reeves etc and had a hi fi damn the cost. you know-prioritiemy Anyway, I was hooked from then on.  I had asked for a record player for Christmas.  When I saw what he had done, I immediately went home to disassemble mS player to find the speaker.  I asked for a "speaker" for my birthday and received a 4" square speaker( we were not rolling in money-my dad did what he could). I connected it up to my record player, which had a single tube amplifier and I was in heaven.  Just a little background.  I recently purchased an Aesthetix Rhea Signature along with a Aesthetix Calypso Signature.  I read all the reviews and thought I was buying some of the best, as far a I could afford.  I saw Rual. which I havent seen on here in a while-hopes hes doing well, bad mouth both products.  They sound great to me and guess that's the main objective, but wonder what some of your opinions are about the Aesthetix equipment.I am currently running the Rhea into a Casablanca III.  My CD player (Theta Miles) goes into a Kora Hermes II and then to the Casablanca.  Thought or opinions.

Sidestepping the question: your opinion is the only one that matters. Does the equipment allow you to emotionally connect with the music? Do you look forward to turning on your system? Does it make you want to keep playing just one more record?

If yes, then congratulations, you're set. Enjoy!

If no, why not? What's missing?
