Here it is. I remembered this as it was a result of a thread I posted. And Albert Porter pretty much summed it all up between the 2 units .... and then a few posts down, so did another contributor. I ultimately went with the Io, had Steve Huntley at GNSC do some magic on it over a year ago and he is looking to do more.....this time on the P.S. To evaluate the Io or the Callisto with stock Ei, EH or Sovtek tubes is silly. These things come alive with some tube-rolling efforts. |
An interesting off-topic here. I can relate as I often associate digital sources resulting in more immediate truncation of the notes. Does this result in more "observed" silence between the notes from the digital source? ..... because the notes exhibited by the analog source carry on a bit longer? I also find this longer-note-follow-through portrayed by the Aesthetix Io and Callisto more than other phono and line stages I have heard in my system. It will be interesting to hear how the Aria WV performs in this key area. |
