JUPITER SERIES Callisto Line Stage and Io Phono Stage
Each Aesthetix unit is hand
built. All units undergo a rigorous test procedure, which includes
auditioning in a high quality audio system.
The Aesthetix High
Resolution Volume Control is a 46 position, true balanced constant
input impedance stepped attenuator, custom manufactured to our
exacting specifications. Aesthetix dual mono circuit boards use one
volume control per channel, truly balancing both legs of the signal.
The Callisto Line Stage
optimizes both single-ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR) inputs and
outputs. The Callisto audio chassis contains one main amplification
section and an output buffer section. The first section is a medium
gain, low noise, zero feedback (or 6 dB feedback from single ended
sources) differential amplifier composed of a 6922 tube and a 12AX7
tube. Lastly, the signal is buffered and sent to the output jacks in
balanced form. 
The Io Phono Stage's
high gain/low noise, all-tube audio circuitry is capable of
successfully amplifying today's ultra-low output moving coil
cartridges. Flexible gain and loading adjustments make the Io
perfect for all cartridges. Io Phono Stage with Aesthetix volume
controls is the ultimate dedicated phono pre-amp for the vinyl
connoisseur. The Phono Stage contains three main amplification
sections and an output buffer stage. The RIAA filter is next
in the signal path, a purely passive design with the highest grade
capacitors and non-inductive wire wound resistors throughout. Back
panels reflect true dual mono circuit boards and balanced circuit
topology.

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.
-
Brushed anodized chassis and side
panels. 
-
Bottom of the chassis integrates into
front panel for enhanced rigidity.
-
Top cover is acoustically inert and
allows easy access for maintenance.
-
The transformers are encased in a
stainless steel cover that provides electrical and magnetic
shielding in addition to providing structural rigidity.
-
AC wires run from the enclosed rear
receptacle through the channel up to the transformer cover,
reducing unwanted noise and increasing clarity and dynamics.
-
Audio circuit boards are derived from
the Jupiter series and are dual mono, providing excellent channel
separation for superb imaging.
-
All the circuit boards interconnect
with minimal wiring for efficient, reliable manufacture and
shortest possible signal paths.
-
Power supply design is derived from
the Jupiter series. Two separate transformers, one for the high
current, low voltage vacuum tube heater supplies and the other for
low current high voltage, solid state and control circuitry. Choke
input power supply on the high voltage transformer. All vacuum
tube heaters are DC regulated.

CARTRIDGE DEMAGNETIZER
|
|
 The
first American designed and manufactured cartridge demagnetizer, the
ABCD-1, keeps your analog front-end sounding its best. Once a week,
simply plug in your turntable leads to the ABCD-1, then activate the
gently ramped, up-and-down cycle of the ultra-pure demagnetizing
signal.
Today's best moving coil phono
cartridges use very strong magnets such as neodymium and samarium
cobalt. When the moving coil absorbs some of the magnet's charge, the
sound becomes murky and less defined. This is because the magnetized
coil does not generate as great a variation as it moves within the
magnetic field of the phono cartridge.
The ABCD-1 neutralizes the
unwanted magnetic charge of the moving coil, restoring full
performance in a matter of minutes. Demagnetizing your moving coil
cartridge with the Aesthetix ABCD-1 every 1 - 2 weeks will prolong the
life of your phono cartridge, increasing your enjoyment and
appreciation of the music.
The Aesthetix ABCD-1 was
designed to meet a specific need in today's marketplace: an affordable
MC cartridge demagnetizer which restores your cartridge's potential
without residual sonic signature.
