| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp @georgehifi - Thinking about it; I’ve been challenging you, regarding personal experience and assumptions. The specs that I quoted, were from one article, then repeated in another, neither author of with whom I’ve had any personal contact/experien... | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? Sure as hell is! As many times as I've been to his site, I never paid attention to his header. Thanks for the correction, Tom. | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp OP: Odyssey= 20 year warranty(which covers the second owner) and 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Hard to go wrong! Happy listening! | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp Those figures were the result of bench-testing, in one of Odyssey’s many favorable reviews, NOT the idle currents of the amps. Perhaps ’The Audiophile Voice’, that mentioned the Stratus’ figures in their review as well, read something incorrectly(... | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? "3 times"? Nonsense! However; the confidence that I will receive actual NOS tubes, that have been comprehensively tested and will provide the performance paid for, is worth a premium(to me). There are some other tube mongers, that provide e... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp No sense of humor? | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? Magnepan recognizes, that it’s speakers have a, "break-in period’(second page of their 20.7 manual, last paragraph): https://www.magnepan.com/pdfs/manual/MG-20.7.pdf One would think, a major manufacturer like Classe’ would know better: https://man... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? @mijostyn- You began your post, mentioning pain and ended with, "fiction". Those two words bracket, what they so aptly describe. | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? Amperex/Bugle Boy and Philips/Miniwatt tubes tend to ride a line, between the warmth/romaniticism of British tubes and the clarity/transparency of the likes of Siemens and Teles. Contact Brent Jesse, for info. Reviews/listening opinions, here: htt... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp Given you’ve ignored my second question, I’ll assume, the answer is, "No!", to both. The design parameters of Odyssey amps(base models) provide for slightly over 23% of their first wattage, to be Class A. (ie: 35 W, out of the Stratus’ 150 W / 23 ... | |
| Speaker Break In...? Or listener “Break In”? How about the fact that there are a plethora of designs, incorporated in speaker systems(ie: domes, cones, ribbons, Mylar diaphragms, horns, two spiders, one spider, horn loaded, bass reflex, acoustic suspension, cloth or rubber surround, etc), ea... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp I asked a couple questions, that you left unanswered. Did you directly compare the Odyssey Khartago Extreme, with the Schitt combo, or- are you making assumptions? To expand slightly, on the second: have you any personal contact or experience, wit... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp So- assumptions, now- to include Klaus(as being a fool, regarding EE design). Have you personally met him? I have(and been to his house, more than once). It’s been my experience; there’s much more to the sound of an amplifier, than just the operat... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp Hey, George- Have you actually compared the Odyssey Khartago Extreme to the Schitt combo, or- are you making assumptions? | |
| Where can I hear highly respected speaker brands not represented Locally? If it isn't, it's one hellova imitation! |
