Aesthetix Pallene

Update for @jafant  I have been helping a local guy w TREO CT get system dialed into room with MIMAS he has the Aesthetix card based DAC option and is streaming from Apple TV box to DAC via Toslink cable - speaker wires are AQ Rocket 33 in a bi-wire configuration- sound is punchy and super smooth - no hint of glare in a fairly large reverberant room. I can highly highly recommend this integrated amp w Vandersteen

Thank You for the update on the Mimas integrated amp.
Monday,  I took delivery on an AYRE AX-5 integrated amp.
The presentation and sound is superb especially matched w/  my DX-5 universal spinner.  I have only heard this combo w/ AQ cabling.
Anxious to try a different brand as a starting point. Strongly considering Transparent Cable, as I am a previous owner of the MM2 Musiclink Super models.

Happy Listening!

Guys, does anyone know the gain and output impedance of the Pallene?

Hi hasmarto
input gain is 24dB maximum w/gain jumper @ 0dB
input impedance 470 Kohms single ended or balanced

sorry I can't find the output impedance in the owners manual 
what amps are you thinking of using it with 
You can always call Jim White at AESTHETIX great guy and I'm really enjoying my Pallene if I can help you any more you can PM me

Enjoy the Music
Tom
