Thanks for the input and help. I bought a 1 year old stock Aesthetix Calypso. It may be similar to the Audio Horizons 2.1, but that's a large part of the fun in this hobby... trying something new and hoping it sounds good in your system.
Preamp help.
I am looking for a preamp to take the place of my Pass Labs X-0.2. I recently tried a Audio Horizons 2.1 at it's $2050 base price. I liked it but knew I would be spending another $1500 on upgrades to bring it hopefully up to the sonic level of my Pass Labs 0.2 (if that is possible). I sold my X-0.2 for extra cash and to try something new. I would like to keep the cost to a max $2500. I may go back to a used A.H 2.1 with all the upgrades or try a recommendation from Audiogon members.
I am currently bi-amping with Pass Labs Aleph 3s and my speakers are Audio Physic Virgo IIs.
