How good is Aesthetix audio?

@hiendmmoe Dunno about Eclipse but I have the Mimas driving SabrinaX.  I listen to it on the weekends to the point that my daughter asked my wife if anything wrong w me as I was on my couch all day. 

Comparing w Dagostino integrated, Progression has more bass when listening to Kari Bremnes's Glem ikkje but same amount of drums snares and kicks fr Def Leppard's Hysteria. 

But, I was surprised when listening to Uncle Lucius Keep the wolves away. Dagastino was a bit let down comparing w Mimas as the percussion or whatever the instrument is at the intro, there's more in the Mimas.

Comparing w AR integrated I/50,  there's no contest but I guess that's not a fair comparison. 

I assume the tubes preamp section makes the Mimas the sound I enjoy

I don’t have any experience w/ their power or integrated amps but owned their Calypso pre amp for several years. It was a very high quality piece, performed flawlessly, sounded excellent. The few times I had questions, was able to speak to very knowledgeable folks at the company. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase something from them again. 

I owned the Calypso Eclipse preamp and the Atlas Eclipse (including Eclipse casework) stereo amp until recently.  I was very happy with them.  Great sound.  Fully balanced and dual mono so very quiet and detailed with lovely full midrange.  The calypso is all tube and the Atlas is hybrid so you get a nice detailed sound with plenty of punch.  The calypso is also extremely flexible, lots of connection options including all inputs accept both RCA and XLR.

One caveat.  The Eclipse casework looks much better to me.  It is available for the Atlas but not the Calypso.  The good looks come at a price though.  The Atlas stereo is heavy, about 100lbs.  The Eclipse casework has sharp edges and the feet are short.  I found it literally painful to move around.  You may not have to move it much but be advised.

I would also say the preamp remote is good not great.

I recently replaced them, but to be fair to Aesthetix, they were replaced by much more expensive gear that I had been considering for a long time.  I do not have experience with the phono or digital but my dealer has had the IO with dual tube power supplies as his reference for probably eight years now.

I sold through The Music Room (highly recommended).  I believe my pre may actually still be available.

I hope this was helpful.

I have been hang out at Audio Connection a long time listen to more gear then the average bear but alway go back to Aesthetix 

I have Aesthetix Atlas and Pallene in my system and enjoy them all the time

Fine a dealer and listen for your self 

I have an Asthetix Pallene for sale if anyone is i8.
