Preamp to Match Odyssey Stratos


Will shortly buy Magnepan 1.6's and Odyssey Stratus Amp. Any suggestions for the PreAmp. Any word on the Odyssey Tempest or should I go a different direction?

I have been using a 777ES Sony CD directly into the Stratos and it sounds very nice. If you are looking for the cleanest way to your signal and you don't require a preamp, then you can try a cd player with a variable output. It has enough gain to power the ever so hungry Platinum Solos I just purchased, to fairly loud levels. I also was using the Musical design 2b with the stratos but needed the money for the speakers so I sold it. It sounded very good with the amp. I will purchase something in the future maybe the Tempest if Klaus can get the time to make one. He is too backed up with his amp orders coming in left and right, due mostly to mine and other peoples recommendations. I am tempted to try his Tempest, though I think Klaus leans a little bit more towards the solid state and tube combination philosophy.
