Used Aesthetix Calypso Signature, if you can find one. I started with the Calypso, mistakenly strayed... found a used Calypso Signature about 3 years ago and have no intentions of trying anything different.
Advice on a preamp
I am looking to replace my preamp as part of my next upgrade(itis). I am currently using an Opera Consonance Reference50MkII tube pre into a Sanders Magtech Amp to drive Monitor Audio PL300 speakers (3 way, 4 ohm). Does anyone here have any good experiences with a particular preamp with the Magtech? I listen mainly to Classical, Jazz, Blues & Rock. Cheers

@shamus2211Your Sanders Magtech Amp has 100kohm input impedance, a perfect candidate for a passive preamp. You could try the Schiit Sys for only $49 and it’s returnable, it also has 2 inputs. This should give you more transparency/dynamics and a tighter/controlled bass than what you have now. http://schiit.com/products/sys Cheers George |
Any one knows how much does it cost to upgrade from Calypso to Calypso Signature. From what I read, Aesthetix provided such a service. According to an email from Glenn back in June of ’16. It’s usually $2500 to upgrade from a Standard to Signature, but I think it depends on when the Standard was made. It’s $3500 to go from Signature to Eclipse and $5500 to go from Standard to Eclipse. I thought about being the guinea pig for the Calypso Eclipse but decided just to get an ARC Ref5SE instead. |
