I have owned a Calypso for approximately one year with no problems at all. It is also very quiet. It is an outstanding piece. I have compared running my Berning ZH270 direct from my Audio Aero Prima CD player to the same with Calypso in the middle. The Calypso adds body and texture. Very nice. Not as "tubey" as some pre-amps. Depends on the sound you seek.
Aesthetix Calypso and Herron VTSP 2
Both of these preamps are highly rated tube linestages with remotes. Has anyone had any experience with them that they can share? Thanks
