You might consider the Aesthetix Calypso. I have the full-function version (Janus). It is better than the Supratek Cortese that I owned in every regard.
3 great choices
The Supratek Cabernet I ordered in January is still not ready to be shipped, so Mick Maloney is prepared to refund my deposit. If that is to happen, I will quickly be in the hunt for a top tube line stage preamp. Currently on audiogon I am interested in making an offer on the following:
VAC signature MK1
Mcintosh c2200
Supratek Cabernet
I would welcome any thoughts and advice. My amp is a Mac 352 driving B&W N802's and my source is a Sony 777 XES (sic) sacd player. Any other used preamps in the 4 to 5 thousand dollar range would be considered. Thanks for the opinons!
