Mcondon, have you done the requisite tube rolling in the Calypso to optimize its performance?
If you have not done this yet, then I strongly suggest you do so before selling it.
I have owned and sold the Calypso twice and I love it and miss it.
If you've already done the tube rolling, then proceed with caution and buy the new preamp before getting rid of the Calypso - just my recommendation.
There are many great preamps, but in the end it comes down to personal preferences and system matching. In my opinion, the preamp is an extremely important part for maximum system performance.
