I tried the Calypso with my 700cx. It sounded good but not as good as the PCA-2 by PS Audio which I bought. I preferred the dynamics of the PCA and the flexibility.
i have Aesthetix Calypso with FPB600, so good that i have ordered Aesthetix IO sgn. with one PS, still waiting for Io to come.
My next move will likely up grade to Calypso sgn. or most likely to Callisto sgn.
I ran a Calypso with a Krell FPB 300-C. Great combination. Only get the Calypso if you are willing to roll some tubes - that is what makes it so magical. The stock tubes are installed to simply allow people to break it in before putting "real" tubes in it - IMO. So if buying a Calypso, plan to add several hundred dollars for tubes to allow it to perform properly. There are lots of posts and comments on tube selection for the Calypso - read those.

In the end, the Calypso with Krell FPB 300-C to Wilson speakers was my best sounding system ever!
Thanks for ur infor.
No further information Krell KRC 3 pre at all? I want to accurate decisions before paying.

The KRC-3 was never one of Krell's best models. The KRC-2 was better. But they are older designs and I would choose the Calypso over them.
