Aesthetix Calypso or ARC LS26?


I'm considering both of these preamps, and was wondering if anyone has ever been able to compare the two. I'll be coupling it to an ARC 100.2 amp.
Thanks,
Tom

Standard Calypso vs. ARC LS26 is close, signature Calypso is hands down Aesthetix. I love the Calypso for it's simplicity, two tube sets which can be easily rolled for great results. The bass is wonderful, midrange near perfect and treble is clear and clean.

The dynamics of the standard is suspect, but the signature should resolve this issue.
