Is a preamp needed ???
The question is if the preamp stage that is built into the Lumin is better or worse than an external preamp?Doesn’t matter, as the Lumin’s "preamp" (output stage) is still in the signal path, there is no bypassing it. Why run one preamp into anot...

You’ve still got to have the last say, which doesn’t make it right sunshine, because it was your insistence with your lack of tech knowledge skills that turned this into a **** fight thread not helping the OP or Odyssey one iota.

Anyone interested in returning to the subject of this thread(WITHOUT the spin) You started and repeated the propaganda "spin", with the false claims of 35w Class-A on the Odyssey (lucky to be 5w) your not doing Odyssey any favours. To those here,...
