Not sure if I could handle the Calypso if it's a remote only job.It may be that my Kora Eclipse burries the SF in sound quality but I miss having front panel controls.Going by alll th reviews I have a pre that once listed for over $5K though it was lowered to $3600.One of the definte pluses of the Eclipse is thought it's tube it's solid state phono card has both a MM and a MC input.Perhaps what I should do is remove the EAR integrated and use the Elcipse with a dcent amp but I have sold my good amps (had a Krell Intergrated as well liked it's sound with bass but mids were metallic).Wihs I still had my Mesa Baron.But thought that keeping EAR and getting Krell KPA was way to go (finacing the KPA wih the Kora) since I want more than two carts.The KPA would have two inputs but more importantly have front controls for setting for quick set of third arm/cart to go with my VPI).But if I stay with two carts I could maybe do better with what I have.I just know that phase inversion can nmake a big difference with certain recordings.Decisions decisons.Thank you all for the input.
