| AXPONA 2011 Atlanta reports/thoughts? The small system in the NAPA room sounded remarkable...considering the miniscule size. Certainly not of reference quality, but very musical, indeed. I went back several times with different friends, and was duly impressed each time. In fact, on Su... | |
| Any criticisms of Odyssey Stratos Personally, I have found no faults with the Stratos (mono's or HT-3's), in almost a year of use. They have provided a noticeable improvement (in all sonic areas), over my previous Audio Research amps. They are very detailed, and articulate, very d... | |
| Your favorite blues album? If you are a fan (or wanna be) of heritage blues, then check out http://www.musicmaker.org they are a non-profit organization devoted to preserving the music of elder blues artists...before they are lost forever. Most recordings are excellent...we... | |
| Need Help for Pre-Amp Since you already have the Odyssey Stratos, I would suggest you give Klaus a call and talk with him about the Odyssey Tempest. They are sister products, and should perform very well together. I have multiple Stratos amps, and I am seriously consid... | |
| Where might I find cheater plugs? Most hardware stores...in their electrical department. | |
| Best Compact System? You might have him check out the newer Linn Classik (it lists for about $2K, but if he looks around he can probably find one for around $1500 or maybe less). It's an amp (75W), preamp (w phono), cd player, and tuner...all in one small chassis. I h... | |
| DIY Subwoofer If he has any (reasonable) woodworking skills, then he can look into kits, one of the best being ACI Titan. You can find info at http://www.audioc.com/ | |
| Odyssey Tempest pre-amp any good? I have multiple Odyssey Stratos versions...mono's, 3channel's, and stereo's. They all sound wonderfully musical. I haven't heard the Tempest, but my curiosity is way up (as well). If any Tempest owners can share their experiences, we'd all be appr... | |
| Does Odyssey = ODL? same company? Absolutely not! Once upon a time the ODL owner was part of the Odyssey company. However, they parted ways and he immediately started up his new company using technology and production, brought from his experience at Odyssey. Hence, the look alike.... | |
| Odyssey to drive B W 801 III ????? I'm driving Aerial 10T's (with mono's), and 7B's with (3-channel). Absolutely no problems driving either. However, I would suggest you call Klaus (317)299-5578 and ask him directly. He'll be most happy to answer any questions that you may have. Pl... | |
| odyssey quality amp???? Yes. The Odyssey is a very high quality amp! The build quality is very impressive (especially for the price), and if you saw it in a retail store you would expect the price to range from $2500-$4000. However, it's greatest strength is its ability ... | |
| Is All The Hype About Odyssey True? No hype...they are for real! I had used Audio Research amps for years (both ss and tube), and the Odyssey just blew them away. They are more detailed, and harmonically right...music sounds like music, instead of a recording of music playing. To be... | |
| Switched from well known Amp to Odyssey I've had several different Audio Research amps, and last year switched to the Odyssey mono's. They simply 'blew-away' the AR amps (both tube and ss). The build quality is amazing, as well. I have begun to feel that other high-end companies are not... | |
| What does it all mean Mr. Natural? Since you're looking in the $2k range...I would suggest you check out Odyssey Designs. Their Stratos amp is one of the best amps I've ever had in my system, and it only costs about $1K. Don't let the price fool you it betters amp costing 3-4X as m... | |
| Proceed, Aragon, Levinson, or other? Save yourself lots of money! Look into the Odyssey Stratos (sells new for about $1K). Don't let the price fool you...they are sold factory direct (saving you all the markup). I replaced my Audio Research amps with the Odyssey, and my music has nev... |
