What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature


I'm not a consistent contributor, but I do like to read the blogs here on the forum.  I find many of them are BS, which I'm sure a lot of you do, but pay attention to some of the older or more frequent contributors, as well as the young. I am 66 years young , but haven't been able to afford the equipment I desire, until that last 15 years.  Priority-home and food.  When I was was a bout 4 or 5, I visited my my grandparents house, and found my uncle, my dads brother, who later was premiered on the American Bandstand, connecting external speakers to my grandmas hi-fi.  He had them strung out from room to room. My grandma loved Tennessee  Ernie Ford, Jim Reeves etc and had a hi fi damn the cost. you know-prioritiemy Anyway, I was hooked from then on.  I had asked for a record player for Christmas.  When I saw what he had done, I immediately went home to disassemble mS player to find the speaker.  I asked for a "speaker" for my birthday and received a 4" square speaker( we were not rolling in money-my dad did what he could). I connected it up to my record player, which had a single tube amplifier and I was in heaven.  Just a little background.  I recently purchased an Aesthetix Rhea Signature along with a Aesthetix Calypso Signature.  I read all the reviews and thought I was buying some of the best, as far a I could afford.  I saw Rual. which I havent seen on here in a while-hopes hes doing well, bad mouth both products.  They sound great to me and guess that's the main objective, but wonder what some of your opinions are about the Aesthetix equipment.I am currently running the Rhea into a Casablanca III.  My CD player (Theta Miles) goes into a Kora Hermes II and then to the Casablanca.  Thought or opinions.

Saying what other people write is BS isn’t a good way to start, especially starting a thread with a spelling mistake in your header. It’s all peoples opinions and they are putting effort in writing here.  I have a Rhea Sig. It’s an excellent phono stage.

  2. Your correct. Sometimes I don’t check spellcheck. Chastising me for my spelling isn’t helpful. I see many who make grammatical errors, but never see anyone chastise them for it. I was hoping to find someone who had the same equipment, to give me their opinion, or someone who has had the same and have found something better.  I like the equipment I have, but ignorance is bliss. 
Loved your story about childhood audio and getting hooked ;-) keep chasing the Dream - I am sure this post will violate the King’s English a time or three. I care about content. I have an Aesthetix Pandora Signature DAC but I have spent countless hours listening to a wide variety of Jim White’s various creations - hard to go wrong as he is both a stellar engineer and can hear !!! Enjoy :-)

Thank you for your opinion. I agree, Just looking for someone who had, or has the same equipment. 
I used to own a plain Janus, not a Signture version.  It was "meh".  Then I upgraded all the film caps, using VCaps for coupling and some very fine polystyrene film and foil caps to replace those bundles of 2uF caps.  Wow, that made a great improvement.  So, I would assume the Sig versions of the Rhea and Calypso are very fine sounding. (Because that's what you get in the Sig version, better caps.)
