If you like what the Khartago is bringing , maybe you are looking for more of that Odyssey sound. There's a Stratos for sale on USAM right now for just $850. Maybe it's worth it to you to try it. I went from a Khartago Extreme se to a Stratos and I feel it was an upgrade. (get this, got the Stratos for $250!) You may find it's the upgrade you're looking for and save a bundle to boot.
My Amp is good but probably the weak point
I have an Odyssey Audio Khartago Stereo. It’s got the larger tranny, upgraded wiring, RCA and Speaker posts. It might have one step up from the baseline circuit board (I don’t recall). It’s the first piece I bought and it’s been great.
but as my system has come together I feel like it’s a choke point though I feel the sound of the system is superb.
So with that I began researching and feel like the Coda #8 would be a strong contender to replace it. My research has also included a JC5 and sending my amp back to Klaus to upgrade to Kismet level.
As of now:
sl1200GR (KAB damper, Isanoe feet)
AT33PTG/II
Sutherland 20/20 MK1 (+ LPS)
Denafrips Athena line stage
Odyssey Khartago
Klipsch Heresy IV
Rythmik L12 (pair)
RCA, XLR, speaker and power cords are Audio Envy
anyine have thoughts? I feel like a part of me wants to go Kismet but that’s 2-6 months to get that done. I have a Vidar as a backup amp but it’s not anywhere near as good as the Odyssey.
$5k limit and looking used. Solid state only.
