Hi Suteetat
Thanks for Lamm info, i need flexibilities, you never know when you changing carts, IO Eclipse is good phono, i know is a big jump from sgn. When i upgraded from Callisto sgn. to Eclipse what a big improvement. i have NOS, just correspond to Glen of Aesthetix. the Power supply changing EL34 with Nos will improve sonic.
I am sending back next month my Eclipse for calibration for some reason is off balance.

HI Suteetat

i am thinking of either upgrade my Callisto Eclipse with 2 Power supply or upgrade my IO sgn. to Eclipse.
But the upgrade IO to eclipse is $7000. Is the lamm phono very quiet, the IO has a tube rush noise on my speaker on 28click on Callisto volume but on CD player is dead quiet.but when cannot be heard from where i seat, might be pick up by cart.
I did not have A/B with Lamm and IO eclipse.
As for amp upgrade hopefully this year, i think i have to stick with SS because i needed for Home theater system,
One thing having krell FPB600 it never ever run out of power and Hansen Emperor is 87db, probably might drop to 84db therefore high power amps for me is needed.
i am hoping to get a used Burmester 911mk3 or 909mk5 if i have a better year if not Krell evo900e which is about $18000 used. i heard good thing of the evo. i believe krell is phasing out this evo production.

Hi Suteetat
Thanks for your respond, so busy this week.
Which Ayon you have? Your magico look like bigger than Q3 in the picture.
Reason I ask about amp is I have been using krell fpb600 for almost close to 10 years, hoping to upgrade.

I needed powerful amp to run my Hansen emperor as it 87db 6 ohms.
As for tube minimum of 150watts.
The solid S considering Burmester 911mk3 or 909.
Here my system

Aesthetix Callisto eclipse with 1ps
Aesthetix io signature with 1ps ( hoping to upgrade to eclipse)
Sony scd-xa9000es
Vpi classic 4 with dyna xv1s
Hansen Emperor
Richard Gray power house - power conditioner.
Nordost Valhalla , IC and speaker cable.PC.

Hansen wizard centre speaker for HT.
106" widescreen.
Room size 15ft wide x 25ft length x 9ft open to right side 15ft wide.
Is in the basement.

Any suggestion on great power amps, I could like to hear from everyone having similar experience in upgrading their system.

Well, I am right now listening my system at 7.24am Western Canada time, Beautiful British Columbia . Beautiful Burke mountain that where I live.

Hi Suteetat
Can give some advise to Jadis JA200 you had before, i guess Lamm must be better.
Jadis JA200 seem no one is buying the amps had been listed for quite awhile, i guess VTL siegfried is a better buy. Anyone have any good experience with VTL siegfried.
