Conrad-Johnson ET-2 vs Aesthetix Calypso


I'm currently running my Reference 3A MM deCapo speakers with a PS Audio GCC 100 integrated amp, but it's time to move into separates I think. The GCC 100 can be used as just an amp so my plan is to get a preamp first and then upgrade to a separate amp down the road. I think I've narrowed it down to either the Conrad-Johnson ET-2 or the Aesthetix Calypso and I'm wondering if anyone has compared these two preamps?

I haven't heard the ET-2, however I moved from a CJ preamp to the Calypso. The truth is that these couldn't be two more different sounding brands. This isn't an endorsement for either, but rather an encouragement for you to decide which house sound you want. Have you had a chance to hear either?
