How good is Aesthetix audio?

Aesthetix audio always seems to run under the radar. They have been around for awhile but don’t seem to get a lot of attention. Here on Audiogon, they seem to pop up here and there, but never with any consistency. I have always heard good things about them but how do they stack up against their peers? Their top of the line Eclipse range has always fascinated me, especially their power amps, but kinda risky not having ever heard one or even knowing much about their sound.

I’ve had an aesthetix Io phono stage for about 20 years. Sent it in for the signature upgrade last year and had a Boulder 1008 phononstage in the meantime. The aesthetix is a vastly superior phono stage in my opinion. And I use Boulder amplification

Aesthetix audio is an established company with a long time reputation of high quality components.  There are plenty of positive reviews, but not as much lately as the press usually covers newer released products.

Well, having replaced the tubes with nothing too fancy, and just on initial listening without them having burned in, we've gone from the worst my speakers have sounded to the best they've ever sounded.

At least everybody wasn't lying - this is quite the amplifier!
