VAC Standard limited edition preamp

The VAC Standard LE is a very nice preamp and fits in well with this group. Overall though, IMHO, the Aesthetix Calypso is the winner of this group, I would place the VAC second. The VAC is a tad sweeter, while the Calypso is a bit more resolute, so depending on what you are seeking, YMMV.

Thanks for the answer.

I've tried the Calypso in my system.It was to resolute for me, especially in the highs. I could not perceive my usual bloomy midrange anymore. Probably tube rolling or different cables could have done the job. Probably mismatch too. Listened to a VTL 5.5 and was better than my CJ preamp. Now there is a VAC passing along my path and I wonder if it is closer to a Calypso or an old fahion CJ.
