Aesthetix Callisto owners help please

I'm contemplating this pre and would like to get input from current owners on sonics with and without any tube rolling. I may or may not get the chance to audition locally, but have spent time with a Janus and have some grip on that sound as a point of referen

I own the Aesthetix Io with volume controls and not the Callisto. My experience with the Io is that the stock tubes give superb results, as our local audio group would attest, and I expect the same will be true of the Callisto. You would have an opportunity to improve by rolling tubes, but you will have an incredible sonic treat just keeping the stock tubes in place.
