Callisto Phono Tube Amplifier

Previous Page Home Parent Page Next Page

 

Callisto "Class AB" Integrated AmplifierThis all tube phono amplifier tantalises the aural senses and adds stimulation to any listening experience. True musical appreciation is achieved through this pre-amplifier.

Designed originally to match with the Kastor pre-amplifier, Callisto offers true clarity from a valve phono amplifier.

No design compromises were made when the original product concept was formulated and only the finest materials and circuit techniques were used. Matching to the original RIAA equalisation curve is very precise, allowing the finer musical points to be reproduced faithfully.

Although designed for use with Kastor, this phono amplifier will work equally well with other pre-amplifiers. Using it connected directly to Artemis or Tantalus offers an all-analogue pre-power combination. Using it with one of the CR transistor amplifiers will also produce some superb results, showing an excellent marriage between tube and transistor.

The mirror-like finish of this amplifier adds an extra dimension to this already desirable creation. This appearance is easy to maintain since all the surfaces are hard and enduring.
