My Amp is good but probably the weak point


I have an Odyssey Audio Khartago Stereo. It’s got the larger tranny, upgraded wiring, RCA and Speaker posts. It might have one step up from the baseline circuit board (I don’t recall). It’s the first piece I bought and it’s been great. 
but as my system has come together I feel like it’s a choke point though I feel the sound of the system is superb.

So with that I began researching and feel like the Coda #8 would be a strong contender to replace it. My research has also included a JC5 and sending my amp back to Klaus to upgrade to Kismet level.

As of now:

sl1200GR (KAB damper, Isanoe feet)

AT33PTG/II

Sutherland 20/20 MK1 (+ LPS)

Denafrips Athena line stage

Odyssey Khartago

Klipsch Heresy IV

Rythmik L12 (pair)

RCA, XLR, speaker and power cords are Audio Envy

anyine have thoughts? I feel like a part of me wants to go Kismet but that’s 2-6 months to get that done. I have a Vidar as a backup amp but it’s not anywhere near as good as the Odyssey.

$5k limit and looking used. Solid state only.

i will buy your weak point khartago and it can be the weak point in my system 😁

otoh i wouldn’t use your speakers if they were offered to me for free

just kidding (but not really...)

to be slightly more serious, if op is sticking with his heresies, he should consider a lower powered single ended tube amp

heresies won't image very well they are more a wall-of-sound kind of speaker, one that benefits from efforts made to smooth them out, make them less aggressive and raspy

odyssey amps have a very fine treble for a class ab standard topology power amp, but the speakers by my estimation (and my ears) need more help in the 'refinement' area
