| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” Aesthetix Mimas should be on your list. Retired myself in Feb 2024, bought Mimas on June 2024! Very nice sounding Integrated. I added the built in DAC which is also very nice sounding. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Mofi 45's of American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, and Neil Young's Decade | |
| New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k The Aesthetix Pallene should be added to your list... | |
| Decide between ARC Ref 6SE and Aesthetix Calypso Eclipse The new Aesthetix preamp (though its been available for awhile) is the Pallene. It's the pre-amplifier that is featured in the Mimas integrated amplifier, and is $6500. It's also a hybrid design with a tube output stage. | |
| What are some good things to do when going to an audition take the gummy a solid hour in advance for full effect........ | |
| Upgrade from Rogue RP-7 You could add the Aesthetix Pallene, though not sure if its sold in Signature (yet). Backert Labs also shows up alot in the RP7 area. | |
| Vinyl Newbie - So Many Questions! as its an old post, I'll just add the Hana ML - $1,080/$1200. | |
| Recommendation for integrated amplifier for Paradigm Studio 20s v.5 Sheese! I have no idea why the Font ended up so large! Not yelling or anything......:) | |
| Recommendation for integrated amplifier for Paradigm Studio 20s v.5 You may want to look into a Belles Aria Integrated. New, its slightly higher ($2495) than your budget....but should be worth exploring. | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? Aesthetix Pallene - this is a hybrid pre with just 2 tubes at output. | |
| The one time you want to pull out but she says no. Did they come with plugs for the rear ports? Maybe that is an option? | |
| Would There be a Significant Difference appears you've narrowed this down to these 2, but would add that an Aesthetix Pallene (preamp section of their Mimas Integrated) would also be worth a look at. Its a hybrid design with a tube output stage. $6500. | |
| Best driving music. Comfortably Numb...real loud! | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? wish i didn't know now what I didn't know then...Against the Wind... | |
| Looking to replace a CD transport... Hey Andrew - (dont mean to derail your thread), I dont have any further transports to suggest given the good ones noted before, but I do have an interest in the Mimas and specifically your thoughts on the DAC card. I have my sights on the Mimas (... |
