Odyssey Stratos vs Parasound A23?
I'm toying with the idea of changing my power amp. Currently have the Parasound A23 with a Consonance 6SN7 based tube pre. My source is a MacBook,MHDT Stockholm 2 DAC, Audiophileo, and speakers are Gallo Stradas and an M&K sub. I lean toward a warmer sweeter sound and wish I could afford a truly high-end tube amp, but I'm on a beer budget. I love 3D soundstaging and lifelike presentation too. The Parasound is decent but I've been researching Odyssey products lately and have also become intrigued with a Rogue Cronus Magnum I saw for sale. Anyone have experience with the A23 and the Odyssey Stratos or Cronus? Also open to other suggestions. I listen mostly to jazz, 60s and 70s classic rock and funk, and some classical.
Thanks for advice! Hoping to spend under $1500 and open to integrateds as well. Could always sell my amp and pre.
