CR Developments tube amps and pre's, anyone heard


Hi all:

I have been investigating this product to bring into the store. Although it seems to have a good following in the UK where it s made, do any of my respected audiophile neighbours in the USA have any "experienced" thoughts on this line. The Woodham KT88 integrated and the Artemis power amps look very good, but as you all know, looks guarantees nothing about overal sound.

You are the best folks to commission for an opinion, and I truly repect your opinion moreso than that of any audiorag! Here's the Canadian distributors website, check the amps out. www.canadianhifi.com

thanks all, Audiojudge

You say " I am familiar with them" could you please continue, or is this a typo that should have read " but I am NOT familiar with them"
thanks Weny.
I've heard the Calypso in a background system a few times. Just with an adcom tuner and some older speakers of unknown origin. Sounded good - nice warm sound with good transparency. Can't say I heard them in a 'critical listening' environment. They're quite a nice package for the price.

One of my friends who is a major tube guru was working on one when I came to see him. He commented that they were very well made.
