| 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 | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @jackd thanks. I will look into those. Good call on the sensitivity.@tomic601 I absolutely believe you but the wait times are getting hilarious. Like do I want to wait 3-8 months? | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @mofojo thanks, I am very wary of Jolida but I will take a look. | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @giantsalami thanks! I will definitely look into it. | |
| Preamp Suggestions for hot-rodded Odyssey Khartago? @jackd Thanks, have you heard them together? | |
| Thinking of changing my solid state pre amp @georgehifi The Freya would be a giant step down from any CJ preamp in my opinion. | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? Freya has issues. I’d stay away. The only thing it has going for it is price. I bought one with a Vidar and it was plagued with microphonics and I, like many, had to place heavy items on the case to stop it from ringing.i think it could be a god p... |
