AESTHETIX RHEA PHONO

 

Rhea phono stage—the ultimate combination with our Calypso line stage, dedicating separate power supplies and chassis for line and phono functions. Ideal for audio or home cinema systems using integrated amplifiers, separate line stages, or surround sound / processor preamps.


• Each input can have its own gain and loading setting that is saved even when in standby mode.
• 40–75dB gain maximum, selectable via front panel or remote control.
• 9 MC loading settings: 75–47,000 ohms, selectable via front panel or remote control.
• Remote control of gain, loading, input switching, mute, and demagnetizer.
• Built-in MC cartridge demagnetizer.
• Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel.
• All tube amplification and output (10 tubes total).
• Full function remote included.
