Ghost - The Callisto is more $ for good reason
.the Calypso sounds like a toy compared to the Callisto.
Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp??
Budget <$3500. Would prefer new but not ruling out newer used. Do not need a phono stage or DAC, so linestage (tubed not ss) - but don't want passive...need some gain.
Just starting to put together a short list. Looking to upgrade the Consonance Reference 50 pre I'm using. Hoping to find dealers allowing in-home audition or money back trial period.
On the list so far:
Doge 8 SCR
Eastern Electric Minimax
PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium
Checked past threads to see if this might have been covered. Couldn't find it. If there's something relatively current I missed, do please point me to it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
