Re: Aesthetix Aesthetix IO Signature Phono Preamp

I am using the older Vector arm that is wired with Discovery Wire. I had A J put balanced conectors on the ends of the tonearm wire. The Aesthetix sounds much better when you use balanced in and out on the phono stage. I do not get any hum or RF noise at all on the line. I know if you use a passive linestage hum may be a factor. I would also address the wire going out of the phono stage to the preamp. I just never liked loading down the cartridge. To me you lose that high end sparkle. I use to own a Benz, but switched to the ZYX cartridge. As far as being bright in your system, it could be the rest of your equiptment. If an amp is a little bit foward in the mids then loading may help. My amp and preamp I am using does not need loading.
