 With phono sources, a phono preamp or phono stage can provide far more gain than the amplifier. They may not seem to be important but phono preamps make a significant sonic contribution and, because they work with tiny signal levels that will later be amplified many times over, the sonic character that phono preamps impart to the signal will be a major factor in the overall sound of the system.

The phono preamp you purchase is an important choice and we invite you to call for our insight. Let us help you select from the many brands we offer; you're sure to find one to match your taste and budget.

MODULUS 4 - RIAA Phono Stage

Aesthetix president and designer Jim White began his pursuit of the ultimate preamplifier designs over 10 years ago. Jim introduced his Jupiter Series of preamps in 1994. The Io phono stage and Callisto line stage became industry benchmarks, garnering recognition from The Absolute Sound magazine with a Golden Ear Award for the Io and HP Editor's Choice for the Callisto Signature with dual power supplies. These incredible preamps use between 16 and 32 tubes each and in their ultimate configuration, create a six chassis 270lb component preamp.

Jim has now utilized his knowledge and experience to create the Aesthetix Saturn series: Rhea phono stage, Calypso line stage and Janus preamp. The Saturn series combines the sonic excellence of the Jupiter preamps in single chassis, beautifully styled, remote controlled components that elevate the performance of all high end music and home cinema audio systems.
