I use the Calypso with 2 Pass Labs Aleph 3s, bi-amping Audio Physic Virgo II speakers. Some threads have called the Calypso noisy...I havn't had that experience. I did change the stock tubes and have rolled thru several nos and used tubes with great success (and lots of fun). I have used all the Pass Labs preamps with the exception of the new XP series. I also tried the Audio Horizons 2.1 and the Pass designed Adcom. The Aesthetix Calypso takes the cake in my system.
Aesthetix Calypso with SS power amp: good or bad ?
Folks, wondering if any of you have tried Calypso with SS power amp?
At present working on my set up and by the moment have got
- Sonus Faber Auditor M,
- CD Electrocompaniet EMC 1up
- power amp Electrocompaniet 250
Searching for preamp and Calypso is on top of the list.
It was advised by few people and it's in budget.
Any other alternative to suggest ?
Cheers,
Sergei
