Did you mean any pot calls or just slate pot calls as you listed a crystal there. I also loved that Primos Power Crystal, for a $20 production pot it sure killed turkeys for me. Try some of the custom pots by OG members, you'll be amazed how realistic they sound. My favorite pot call is Halloran's Crystal Mistress, favorite slate pot is Cane Creek Pro Custom. In the right hands and on the right day they're all capable of killing birds.

My favorite slates are made by Doug Camp, AKA Camp Callers and an Andy Kaiser slate. They have helped me harvest quite a few gobblers. They are always easy to run and the turkeys seem to really like them as well.

I have a sassy ceramic and crystal mistress from dave halloran, a slate birds eye pot and double glass from lon trice. Wet one slate, sliver fox aluminum, timeless glass, sidekick glass in a corian pot, from enticer turkey calls are my pot calls. For box calls I have the woodhaven real hen and the lynch's world champion call. For diaphragms I run the Matt van cise triple pack from mad. I always carry the box calls and the mouth calls. The pots are switched around constantly depending on weather forecasts time of season and style I am hunting. More often than not though I find the lon trice double glass or the crystal mistress in my hand. As for a conditioner for glass dave halloran sells them on his site for 5 dollars. And lon trice sent one complimentary to me with the purchase of my double glass and the slate I bought. Good luck figuring it out I am now addicted to purchasing new custom calls

I bought a great laminated slate call this year at the NWTF from Jimmy Schaffer/Oak Ridge Turkey Calls. It went right into my vest. I also have one of his trough calls that is also in my vest. Can't find a nicer guy either. Done shopping for a great slate call.
I also have a great laminated ceramic from Andy Kaiser/Kaiser Kalls in my vest that I bought a couple of years ago. I haven't found a better ceramic than the one he made me. Andy makes a great call and would hunt with any call he makes.
They are probably my two favorite pot calls right now. Getting a better aluminum and glass call still on my bucket list.
