Hello, I am looking at a aesthetrix atlas power amp to replace my bel canto ref1000m.

Any one have any experience with this amp.

Also I have a chance for a calypso signature pre amp to replace my audio research ls26 - any experience or thoughts of this vs my ls26?

Thanks for your help

Had an audition yesterday - audio research ref5, atlas driving b&w 302 diamond. Really fantastic sound, dark silent back grounds, high detail, separation sound stage and beautiful tone and effortless marco and micro dynamics.

The atlas was very musical and powerful at the same time.

The calypso signature was not as transparent or silent as the arc ref5, but at the price I suppose it shouldn't be. Note sure that that it is better than my arc ls26.

Atlas at home this weekend, if it works as well with my gamuts, which I prefered to the previous non diamond b&w, then it will be going back!

Audio Research ref5 was truely a , much better than ref3 that although better than my ls26. If only I was an investment banker expecting my well 'earned' bonus this week!
