| Integrated amp + dac for Focal Focals love current. Something that’s stable to 2 ohms. | |
| Marantz PM8006 vs NAD C375BEE I have a PM6005 and it has a nice sound. I'm selling as it doesn't have the current to drive my Focals against their impedance.Overall I liked the amp a lot for what thats worth. | |
| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp @wig and @scarbpaul12 What type of music do you play most often? I'm curious as to whether a Don Sachs preamp is right for me and my very non audiophile approved music. | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? Odyssey Khartago (with a few upgrades). A runaway garbage truck couldn't knock the smile off my face. | |
| NAD C 275 Bee @adman227 Even though Focal lists the Chorus speakers at 8 ohms, assume 4. I used to run a Marantz PM6005 which is 45 watts and it gets my 807v's plenty loud BUT, the impedance curve in the mid bass is too much for the Marantz so its scooped in th... | |
| 7" Singles I will always buy the 12” if there is one. I only buy 7” if it’s the only way/only affordable way to get a song. | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @italian yeah, more and more I feel like Candela is the way to go. I guess I should learn to be more patient and follow my original plan.thats not to say other pre’s won’t work but I don’t want to play musical preamps until I find one that works. | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @bondmanp Thanks, thats good perspective! I am not after ultimate fidelity (HERESEY!) but rather a nice sound. I have tons of badly recorded + mediocrely pressed reggae albums, I don't want to render them unlistenable. I like detail and dynamics a... | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @georgehifi I hear ya, but I wouldn't say that to them. If I was buying 10 of them I would, but I doubt they care about a single complainer (not that they are indifferent so much as busy). | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @bondmanp Thanks, one of the things I have to compensate for it that I don't listen to "audiophile music". So, though I have seen CJ stuff used I haven't really given them much thought as I believe I read/am under the belief that CJ stuff is tube/... | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @giantsalami Can you shed some light on what the Modwright did better? Also what kind of music? | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @georgehifi Thanks. You almost make me want to try one again. The release of the Vidar was what got me thinking separates in the first place. Which then lead me to Vincent, then AVA and then Odyssey. All told, I'd rather get a Candela but I am rec... | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @georgehifi I originally bought the Freya/Vidar and the Freya was kind of a mess. Horrible microphonics, the tubes we’re unusable, and I agree with some about the clicking volume.As others said, and I echo this as well, that the JFET and tube stag... | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? I’ll be running a DAC (think Topping D30/SMSL Sanskrit/Schiit Modi Uber) and a phonostage (outputs .25mv) so would it be a dumb question to ask if a passive would work given Odyssey’s low impedance? | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @tomic601 thanks. I will look into that@jackd I’m on there but since Klaus is also in there I choose not to post |
