Classical music-Calypso or FS Presence ?

Any opinions on the best line preamp for classical music, particularly considering the Aesthetix Calypso Saturn and the First Sound Presence Deluxe Mk.II ? Also, best recommendations for phono stage preamp and classical lps.

Based on my experience living with the Aesthetix Io Signature, and what I've heard with the Aestheitx Calypso and Rhea, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more satisfactory line state and phono stage than the Aesthetix. .

He will tell you very directly and openly what tradeoffs he hears in the Janus as compared with the Calypso/Rhea combination. .
