Just returned to pre/pwr from an intergrated as I was keen to try the amps that were built for my speakers. Will let things settle and then experiment with different pre's. Only a day in with this setup which was poor on switch on but the sound evolved over the first few hours and is now pretty enjoyable.
Defride, if the foundation of noise rejection in the system is not up to the part, you will misjudge the K-10. I understand why you like the Calypso in your system with your existing conditions. Happy Listening
