Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp
I have owned an Odyssey Stratos amp, Tempest and Candela preamp and had problems with the gear and very bad service. That was my experience and would not deal with them again. Also got a message from another Audiogon fella who had terrible problem... 
Calling all Vandersteen Fans
Helomech-Sorry to hear about your experience with these speakers. I know you have had bad luck now...twice! But hey that’s ok, just keep looking. Perhaps the Sterlings will work out to be the perfect match, they look to be very fine speakers. I of... 
I need opinions, Schhit Freya+ and an appropriate Amp
I like Line Magnetic Audio tube amps, but Rogue integrated amps sound very good. 
Newbie question about Vault 2i
Galleybob, Glad to hear your getting good sound. You have to have an MQA enabled device to stream MQA files. IMO some MQA albums do sound fantastic! 
Apple iTunes or What Else
That is really good equipment you have and I think it’s similar to what I have. I too was using Itunes and have quite a library of AIFF files on a Western Digital Hard Drive that uses WD MyCloud. Because I have a limited budget, I opted to try the... 
Do I need a new amp?
For solid state amps, I have had three Parasound amps and could not be happier with the Halo A21. Tremendous power, great finesse. Never any hum or noise. I had a Odyssey Stratos and it was nothing but trouble, both with quality and customer servi... 
What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ?
Another pointless and silly thread. 
What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ?
Join the Navy. 
Newbie question about Vault 2i
GalleybobNot sure I understand what you are asking but I do not think the Vault 2i would do a better job of ripping your CDs than your Superdrive did creating AIFF files. The files should sound the same because they are lossless conversions of the... 
Help me avoid sonos, please
The audioengine speaker line up looks good as suggested by leemaze!! I have never actually heard them but they seem to be a great option/choice. I have a Bluesound Node2 streamer which additionally connects to my NAS and I really like it, but neve... 
Help me avoid sonos, please
I would not rule out Sonos. I helped my neighbor hook up speakers in his living room, back deck and kitchen with Sonos and Spotify on his smartphone as a source. He could not be happier. You always have your main audio system, plus Sonos is in tha... 
An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?
Although I have not been to the various big audio shows, I have often heard attendees make statements about room comparisons. Some would note that the multi-million dollar room did not sound as good or better than another room with electronics cos... 
Why all or most audiophiles are men?
May god have mercy on me... I don’t know how dumb I really am.And yes...as much as I luv my current speakers  I would like to update them. 
Why all or most audiophiles are men?
I thought about this too. Although there ARE women who are audiophiles, for the most part women are too smart to buy expensive and over priced boxes of wires that play recorded music.Men are the dumber ones in the species and spend far too much mo... 
An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?
Are you not the same guy who wanted to put reel to reels out to pasture? And now an audiophile is anyone who luvs audio despite monetary status??? Where does that leave guys who dig reel to reels? Your questions are silly and pointless to me. Mayb...
