Aesthetix Calypso and Herron VTSP 2

Both of these preamps are highly rated tube linestages with remotes. Has anyone had any experience with them that they can share? Thanks

Kinda off topic but just finished working and am kinda bored. Gonna watch "Dancing With The Stars" with my wife tonight.

I hope to be comparing it to the Herron shortly. The Joule is quite a nice performer though.

However, I was a little disappointed to find out that you can no longer upgrade from the LA-100 to LA-150. That would have been more cost effective for me.
