I have been using my PS Audio Dac straight into my power amp along with my memory player for some time now and have loved it but was always curious about the pre amp…after reading numerous reviews and speaking to several people i took the plunge and ordered the pre amp and i must say I am truly thr…

[image] Does it sound good when you turn it down?! Preamplifiers I’ve got a total of 162 hours on my BHK Pre. I’ve listened to it, Roon -> DS feeding, M700 driving, for half of those total hours. One true measure of a system for me is does it (continue to) sound good whe…

Just curious, has anyone compared the BHK preamp to the Calypso from Aesthetix? Paul has for sure, since I think he owned one prior to the BHK. I just wanted more feedback. I own a BHK myself.

I like how the Calypso has dual outputs for the RCA and XLR. Wish the BHK had that, at least for the XLR for bi amping

I bought my BHK to replace a Calypso Signature that was damaged when a tree crashed into my house. The Calypso was sublime.
