Description

Selling on behalf. It’s 4 years old, in like new condition and comes with its box and manual. RRP $34500.00.

Rhea Eclipse is an all-tube phono stage, suitable for moving coil and moving magnet cartridges. It offers high maximum gain at 75 dB, making it ideal for low output cartridges. Rhea broke new ground as the first phono stage with 3 phono inputs, the first with gain and loading settings stored in memory for every input, and the first with full remote control adjustability. Dual-mono audio boards provide superb channel separation and soundstaging. A cartridge demagnetizer is a built-in convenience that can also be operated by remote control. The all-aluminum chassis is designed for rigidity and acoustic inertness, the brushed anodized panels are beautiful too.

The Rhea Eclipse is the highest specification version of the Saturn Series, featuring upgrades such as Stealth copper foil 4uF/400v coupling capacitors in the output stage, which improve low-frequency response, and high-frequency tuning capacitors that are hand-adjusted to achieve a tight .1dB frequency response standard. Additional enhancements include transformers mounted on isolation mounts, Harmonic Resolutions Systems’ Nimbus Couplers replacing the standard rubber feet for improved noise reduction, and a new power supply with enhanced ventilation and refined trace routing to reduce extraneous noise.

Three RCA inputs Two sets of XLR and two sets of RCA outputs per channel. Each input has its own gain and loading setting that is saved even when in standby mode or the unit is turned off. Zero feedback. 40-75dB gain maximum, selectable via front panel or remote control. 9 MC loading settings: 75-47,000 ohms, selectable via front panel or remote control. Remote control of gain, loading, input switching, mute, and demagnetizer. Built-in MC cartridge demagnetizer. All tube amplification and output (10 tubes total). Full function remote included.

In trade.
