The Aesthetic range of high-end audio electronics is now available in the UK through distributor Audio Reference. Below the company s flagship Jupiter series of pre-amps stands the Saturn series, which includes the Rhea all-valve phono stage at £2995. It offers three separate inputs, with five valves per channel, which can be individually configured through a remote-controllable microprocessor-based interface. Gain settings of 38 to 75dB are available, as well as a range of input impedances from 75 ohm to 47k ohm. The Rhea is said to be based on Aesthetix s statement Io phono stage, with less valves employed.
