I know it's expensive in the US, but in Europe it's retail price - 17K Euro. I think, I can get it for under 15K with a discount. Regardless of the price, how it compares to Io Signature?
you need to compare this to IO eclipse, not signature

for tube, the Lamm is a pretty popular contender on this forum - i'd love to hear it someday.
Hi Ron,I vote for the Io! I have had an Io for 18 years.
I will be using a ZYX UNIverse Premium to drive the Io.
If you really need 100 ohms you could use 121 Ohm and use an additional resistor on the unused input (RCA or XLR). If you are using the RCA input then solder the additional resistor to the correct fittings on a XLR plug. Call Aesthetix if you need more information.Two box and it sounds amazing on most music. The only minor issue is on vocal as I feel, that, in some cases, it's too dense. It might be a loading issue, unfortunately, the IO does not have 100 Ohms setting, it is either 75 or 121 Ohms.
After the first gain stage I believe the Io is true-balanced.
