Aesthetix Calypso Eclipse Linestage

First phase: Internal changes to the Calypso start with .22uF / 600v Stealth coupling capacitors used between the gain stage and output stage. Four total of these exotic capacitors are used. Key Features: Fully balanced differential circuitry with ability to internally balance a single ended input signal. Zero feedback. Discrete switched resistor volume control with 88 1dB steps. All tube amplification and output (4 tubes total). Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel. Bypass mode for home theatre processor throughput. Absolute phase, selectable via front panel or remote control. Full function remote included. Available in black or silver faceplate.

Aesthetix Calypso Signature Linestage

The Signature version uses custom-made inter-stage Teflon hybrid coupling capacitors, replacing the polypropylene units, between the gain stage and output stage (2 per channel). The change in these capacitors results in higher resolution, extension, less grain and more air. Key Features: Fully balanced differential circuitry with ability to internally balance a single ended input signal. Zero feedback. Discrete switched resistor volume control with 88 1dB steps. All tube amplification and output (4 tubes total). Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel. Bypass mode for home theatre processor throughput. Absolute phase, selectable via front panel or remote control. Full function remote included. Available in black or silver faceplate.

Aesthetix Calypso Linestage

Calypso is an all-tube linestage suitable for audio and home cinema systems. Fully balanced circuitry from input to output, including internal balancing of single-ended inputs, results in common mode signal rejection and cleaner sound. The innovative discrete switched resister volume control maximizes resolution at any listening level. Every input is both single-ended and balanced for greater versatility. Home theatre bypass mode, absolute phase setting and full function remote are added conveniences. The all-aluminum chassis is rigid, acoustically inert and simply beautiful. Key Features: Fully balanced differential circuitry with ability to internally balance a single ended input signal. Zero feedback. Discrete switched resistor volume control with 88 1dB steps. All tube amplification and output (4 tubes total). Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel. Bypass mode for home theatre processor throughput. Absolute phase, selectable via front panel or remote control. Full function remote included. Available in black or silver faceplate.

Aesthetix Janus Eclipse Preamplifier

First phase: Internal changes to the Janus start with .22uF / 600v Stealth coupling capacitors used between the second and third gain stages, and the third gain stage and output stage of the phono section. Two more are used between the gain stage and output stage of the line section, per channel. Twelve total of these exotic capacitors are used. Key Features: Fully balanced differential line-level circuitry with ability to internally balance a single ended input signal. RCA and XLR provided for each input. Discrete resistor volume control with 88 1dB steps. Zero feedback. Phono input: 40-75dB gain maximum, selectable via front panel or remote control. Built-in MC cartridge demagnetizer. 9 MC loading settings: 75-47,000 ohms, selectable via front panel or remote control. All tube amplification and output (12 tubes total). Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel. Bypass mode for home theatre processor throughput. Absolute phase, selectable via front panel or remote control. Full function remote included. Available in black or silver faceplate.

Aesthetix Janus Signature Preamplifier

The Signature version uses custom-made inter-stage Teflon hybrid coupling capacitors, replacing the polypropylene units, between the gain stage and output stage (2 per channel). The change in these capacitors results in higher resolution, extension, less grain and more air. The 2uF output coupling capacitors (4 per channel) are replaced with 4uF Dynamicaps. This change provides more drive, bass extension, resolution and dynamics while also reducing grain. Key Features: Fully balanced differential line-level circuitry with ability to internally balance a single ended input signal. RCA and XLR provided for each input. Discrete resistor volume control with 88 1dB steps. Zero feedback. Phono input: 40-75dB gain maximum, selectable via front panel or remote control. Built-in MC cartridge demagnetizer. 9 MC loading settings: 75-47,000 ohms, selectable via front panel or remote control. All tube amplification and output (12 tubes total). Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel. Bypass mode for home theatre processor throughput. Absolute phase, selectable via front panel or remote control. Full function remote included. Available in black or silver faceplate.

Aesthetix Janus Preamplifier

Janus is a full-function all-tube preamplifier with six line level inputs and one phono input. Janus represents the key features of Rhea phono stage and Calypso linestage combined into a single chassis. All tube amplification and output, a fully balanced linestage, discrete switched resistor volume control, versatile single-ended and balanced inputs and outputs, and dual-mono audio boards are all part of Janus. The full function remote controls all preamp and phono functions, including gain, loading, absolute phase and the internal demagnetizer. True to its Saturn Series heritage, the build and sound quality of Janus have won it global praise, including 2010 and 2011 TAS Editor's Choice Awards. Key Features: Fully balanced differential line-level circuitry with ability to internally balance a single ended input signal. RCA and XLR provided for each input. Discrete resistor volume control with 88 1dB steps. Zero feedback. Phono input: 40-75dB gain maximum, selectable via front panel or remote control. Built-in MC cartridge demagnetizer. 9 MC loading settings: 75-47,000 ohms, selectable via front panel or remote control. All tube amplification and output (12 tubes total).
