Aero Capitole as a preamp?

Im thinking of rearranging my system and wonder if the Aero will be a good preap for my analog system, and is it better, worse or the same as my current preamp. Currently I have a Aesthetix Calypso and the analog front end it TNT 5 with the Whest phono stage. The Capitole would replace the Calypso, Sony 9000es VSD level 5 and one interconnect and one power cord. Does it make sence?

Thanks

I have run my prestige everyday for a year with NO problems.
In my system I disconnected the pre amp section and experience
a nice sonic improvement(more drive and extension). I believe
the AA with the preamp disconnected, running direct sounds
best in my system. That said I would not sell your pre amp,you would end
up buying another down the road.

hi Clipsal, I disconnected the input section not the
volume control. I have tried running through another pre amp and still prefer it direct. I wish I could bypass the the whole volume control section but really haven't investigated it. It has a beefier sound now.
