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.

Sorry for the response delay-was getting past my hangover🙃. For those who asked, I’m running my analog thru my Rhea and Calypso. For my Theta Miles, I’m going into Kora Hermes II, then into my dbx 360 and then into my Casablanca. My amps are Ev 600 Krells and Speakers are Wilson Maxx Ii. 
addendum:  My front end is a Scoutmaster with a DRT XV-1s and a Pioneer PL 71 with a Koetsu Uriushi Black
I would skip the Casablanca. Not sure why your using that when you own such a nice preamp. You own some really great gear. If your looking for opinions, your turntables may be your weakest link. Two great cartridges by the way.

+1 on Aesthetix gear and Jim White. I had a completely McIntosh top end vintage system and went totally to Aesthetix. I chose SQ over good looking meters bouncing around.  I started with Signature models and then upgraded all to Eclipse: Atlas, Janus & Romulus. great improvement in depth, tonality and punch. As mentioned above, replacing the EH and JJ's with NOS took it (for me) to a new level. Especially noticeable with ultra low noise Amperex & Telefunken in the phonostage.  The only change I would possibly make is to go monoblock Atlas eclipse. 

I cannot say enough good things about Jim and Glen at Aesthetix. Accessible and helpful. Jim once came to my home and we discussed his hybrid design and passion for great sound reproduction at a realistic price point. I demo'd the Metis at home for 2 weeks and it was incredible - but would have had to sell my Janus and buy a separate phonostage, cables, etc so I passed. But it's a great preamp too.
