"We have to say we've never before come across a turntable-and-arm combination that's been this pernickety about its set-up. At some point we'd be keen to put the Calypso through its paces with another tonearm to see if it's the Encounter that's responsible for this super-sensitivity. In the meantime, this turntable gets the thumbs up it thoroughly deserves for the fine performance it provided in the end."
For
- When properly set-up, the Calypso offers a delightful musical performance
- Rather attractive if you're a fan of post-modernist looks
Against
- The Calypso-Encounter partnership seems unduly fussy about its set-up, which is perhaps fine for enthusiasts but might be off-putting for turntable 'civilians'.
Verdict
If you're a patient and methodical sort, happy with turntable tinkering, the Calypso will reward. Whilst perhaps not an ideal deck for a first-time buyer, when correctly set up, the deck will delight with its looks, musicality and perky performance
