This
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.
