| Tube replacement for the Calypso? I have spent quite a bit of time and money testing tubes on the Calypso. First off my experience with the stock 12AX7 Sovtek tubes was very bad. Ive had three sets and they all were very noisy. I tried a fourth Cryo-treated Sovtek and it was bett... | |
| Has anyone used the aesthetix calypso preamp? Rwd, no I have no access to one. Write me if you want to discuss trying some tubes.Msaines, My opinion with standard Sovtek tubes fits yours. Very noisy and uninvolving. With good tubes this pre-amp simply is silent, great depth and excellent deta... | |
| Has anyone used the aesthetix calypso preamp? As a quick note. I have been trying the Calypso pre amp for a few months now. First off it has surpassed my Placette Active line stage in all ways. I have it hooked up to Plinius SA-102 amps at 47ohm input and have had no issues. I have found the ... | |
| Biwired Speakers - silver for high, copper for low Tom, I agree the problem is not in your system which makes me think you already have what you need with the Nordost. I would consider working on small adjustments to your speaker placement and your isolation of components. I have been amazed at ho... | |

| The best way to isolate my subs from the floor? I use Aurios isolation bearings under my Dunlavy IVa's. It's amazing at how quite (non vibrating) the floor and speaker cabinet get. I know it sounds like an odd idea to put speakers on bearings, but it actually makes sense if you tjink about it. ... | |
| Sony SCD-1:Is it time to tweak or upgrade to new? I wrote a three part review after Ken worked on mine. You may want to read it, it should explain what to expect. As for a new machine, I do not think you'll find anything as good for the same cost you'll have into the SCD-1 and the mod. I think at... | |
