Pre amp for Odyssey amp

Is this the same preamp that you now have for sale on Audiogon?

I use a BAT VK3i and the pairing is wonderful. I just recently re-tubed to more dynamic and revealing tubes, the Odysseys went right along for the ride in stride. Great match.

Yes, there is a remote control upgrade as well as an A/V passthrough.

Can you get the tempest with a remote?

I'm using an Odyssey Tempest with my monoblocks and I love the sound. Very smooth and musical and detailed too. Listening to music on this combo sounds very natural. When you turn up the volume, there's no congestion whatsoever. It just lets more music through. I haven't used the phono section but I'm sure it's on par with the rest of the preamp. The Tempest is exactly the same as the Symphonic Line preamp that sells for $3K.
