Description

Aesthetix IO Eclipse

Jupiter Series Eclipse Reference Two Box Phono Preamplifier

Io is an all-tube phono stage suitable for the most demanding cartridges including low-output moving coils. A proprietary differential circuitry design achieves high gain with extremely low noise. A separate power supply chassis removes any possibility of transformer noise corrupting delicate audio circuitry. Peter Moncrief Stealth Capacitors are used in the Eclipse Edition for unparalleled sound quality. An optional innovative mechanically-switched discrete resistor volume control yields precise resolution at all listening levels.

High gain / low noise capable of handling low output moving coils.
Zero feedback.
80dB maximum gain, internally selectable down to 56dB.
Flexible user selectable loading on the back panel from 47Kohms down to 10ohms.
All tube amplification and output (16 tubes total).
Separate vacuum tube regulated power supply utilizing 8 tubes.
Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel.
Input can be either RCA or XLR.
Optional: Innovative and unique mechanically switched discrete resistor volume control with 46 positions using Roederstein resistors, one for each channel.

Io is available in three versions: Mk II, Signature and Eclipse. The Mk II version uses high-grade Rel-Cap polypropylene coupling capacitors. The Signature version uses exotic and expensive coupling capacitors and other critical parts to bring the performance to a higher level. Eclipse is the ultimate realization of the true capabilities of the Io, incorporating constrained-layer damped machined aluminum panels and Peter Moncrief's Stealth Capacitors. All versions of Io can be factory upgraded to Signature or Eclipse.

Jupiter Series Io and Callisto are available in (and factory upgradable to) an Eclipse Edition. The Eclipse transformation takes already industry standard setting products to a whole new level of performance. Io, Callisto and their respective power supply receive enhanced internal parts, improved chassis construction, and stunning customizable casework.

StealthCap Capacitors

Musical signals passing through a capacitor are blurred or clouded as signal reflections bouncing off the capacitor plate corrupt the original musical signal. StealthCap capacitors created by Peter Moncrief aim to cure this problem by dramatically reducing reflections along the capacitor plate. The "Stealth Technology" is made possible by a combination of laborious precision handiwork and costly exotic materials including new conductors, dielectrics, and composite resins. The resulting signal has a quieter background, rich and detailed spatial imaging, time focused musical coherence, and a broader more impactful dynamic range. The Io Eclipse uses eight .22uF / 600v Stealth coupling capacitors made of exotic copper foil. These are used between the second and third gain stages, and the third gain stage and output stage. The Io and Callisto Eclipse output stages also use eight 4uF / 400v Stealth capacitors in a unique balanced configuration.

Chassis Construction

Eclipse Edition chassis feature an extremely rigid and acoustically damped design, delivering new levels of articulation and clarity. Three separate side and top panels are machined from aluminum billet. Each panel is constrain layer damped with advanced 3M adhesives, requiring a labor intensive application of heat and pressure for proper mating. Advanced interlock material and machine screws are used to attach the panels for easy tube access. Harmonic Resolution Systems Nimbus Couplers, specially made for Aesthetix, are used to intimately couple the chassis with the equipment rack, greatly reducing mechanical noise.

Casework Design and Customization

Eclipse editions feature a stunning multi-piece front panel which includes detailed machining of the front panel casing, inlay and logo. Jupiter Eclipse customers may personalize the appearance of their unit by selecting metal finishes for the faceplate, rings, knobs, dials and logo.

Why Choose Aesthetix

Aesthetix is an American high-end audio manufacturer renowned for producing valve-based electronics that combine extraordinary musicality, engineering sophistication, and long-term upgradeability. Founded by celebrated designer Jim White, Aesthetix products have developed an exceptional reputation within high-end audio for delivering holographic sound staging, tonal realism, and dynamic authority while maintaining the refinement and emotional engagement valve amplification is admired for.

What makes Aesthetix particularly distinctive is the company’s philosophy of combining fully balanced valve circuitry, substantial power supply engineering, and modular long-term product evolution into platforms designed to remain relevant for decades. Rather than forcing customers into constant replacement cycles, Aesthetix allows owners to progressively upgrade products throughout their lifespan through Signature and Eclipse enhancement pathways.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Aesthetix products consistently stand apart for their ability to reproduce music with enormous scale, dimensionality, and emotional realism while still maintaining excellent control, transparency, and dynamic capability.

Signature Design and Sound

Manufactured in the United States, Aesthetix products are engineered around fully balanced valve topologies, substantial linear power supplies, premium analogue circuitry, and highly refined grounding and isolation architectures designed to maximise musical coherence and spatial realism.

The Mimas integrated amplifier has become one of the company’s most important products by combining genuine high-end valve performance with modern usability and exceptional system flexibility. Delivering substantial power and remarkable musical engagement, the Mimas presents music with rich tonal density, expansive sound staging, and convincing dynamic authority while still maintaining excellent loudspeaker control and everyday practicality.

The Romulus CD player and DAC platform continues Aesthetix’s analogue-focused digital philosophy, delivering a presentation that feels highly organic, dimensional, and emotionally natural rather than sterile or mechanically analytical. The combination of valve output staging and refined digital implementation allows recordings to retain texture, space, and musical flow in a way many digital systems struggle to achieve.

For customers seeking reference-level separates, the Calypso preamplifier and Titan power amplifier combination represents the company’s ability to combine enormous scale and authority with remarkable finesse and holographic realism. The presentation feels spacious, layered, and physically immersive while still preserving transient speed, tonal texture, and low-level detail retrieval.

One of the most unique aspects of Aesthetix ownership is the company’s long-term upgrade philosophy. Products can initially be purchased in their standard configuration before later being upgraded to Signature specification, incorporating substantially higher-grade internal components and further refinement throughout the signal path. Beyond this, Eclipse versions take the concept even further by mechanically isolating critical circuitry from the chassis itself, reducing vibration interaction and elevating performance to an even higher level.

Importantly, these upgrades can be performed at any stage throughout the life of the product, allowing customers to progressively evolve their systems over time rather than replacing entire components. This creates a remarkably sustainable and emotionally rewarding ownership experience rarely seen within modern high-end audio.

Aesthetix Product Range

The Aesthetix range available through HeyNow Hi-Fi includes integrated amplifiers, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, DACs, CD players, and reference-level analogue electronics designed for listeners seeking extraordinary musical realism and long-term ownership satisfaction.

Products including the Mimas integrated amplifier, Romulus DAC/CD platform, and the Calypso and Titan pre-power combination showcase the company’s ability to combine valve refinement, dynamic authority, holographic sound staging, and highly sophisticated upgrade architecture into genuinely world-class audio systems.

At HeyNow Hi-Fi, Geoff and his experienced analogue and system setup team provide assistance with amplifier matching, valve system integration, digital configuration, and complete system optimization to ensure Aesthetix products perform at their full capability within each customer’s listening environment.
