Here is an earlier thread from August 2003 in which Albert Porter offered his assessment of the Aesthetix Janus preamp which he'd had in his home system for a listening opportunity. You may be aware that Albert uses the Aesthetix Io Signature phono stage and Callisto Signature linestage in his system: http://forum.audiogon.com//cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1060711017&openusid&zzAlbertporter&4&& . |
DAVID I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MINE. I HAD A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS AT FIRST BUT AESTHETIX PROVIDED SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE. SINCE THEN THE UNIT HAS PERFORMED FLAWLESSLY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 4 12AX7LP TUBES IN THE PHONO STAGE AND THE 6922S YOU WILL WANT TO TRY CHANGING THE 12AX7WBS. THEY DONT SOUND AS GOOD AND HAVE RELIABILITY PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD GOOD LUCK WITH SOVTEK 12AX7LPS, GROOVE TUBES 12AX7M, AND ELECTRO HARMONIX. ALL RATHER INEXPENSIVE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN MY SYSTEM IN WHICH I FORGOT ABOUT THE ELECTRONIC. IT IS JUST FANTASTIC TO BE LISTENING TO MUSIC. BRAD PLEASE REFERENCE JANUS IN SUBJECT LINE OF YOUR EMAIL IF YOU RESPOND. I AM SUPRISED YOU HAVE NOT HAD A RESPONSE YET. IF YOU HAVENT MADE A DECISION I WOULD BE GLAD TO TALK MORE |
