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.

All, thanks again for all the opinions. Regardless of wether I agree, I am happy to get them anyway.

it’s true I like my Heresies, so with that said, in my signal chain what do you consider the weak point?

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.

"as my system has come together I feel like it’s a choke point though I feel the sound of the system is superb."

Why a choke point?   You say the sound is 'superb'.  I'd settle for less than 'superb'.

Be happy.  Take wifey for a nice holiday.

The coda is a Great amp, and preamp excellent they don’t advertise but I find them  Best Buy a shoot way above their price point ,and 3 amplifier power choices 

their best effort is their pure class A 100 watt amp. But not cheap that being said 

their amplifier is a no brainer  , the biggest potter transformer out there3000 Va all others are not even potted super low noise ,and 10 year warranty over 120 amps on demand for incredible Dynamic control, Dale and Co were all engineeers with Nelson Pass at Thresholds classic Stasis . 
i own their latest CSIB integrated amp and  very happy !!

Amazing how it's always the folks who say they hate Klipsch who are th first ones to recommend getting rid of your Klipsch speakers!  (I could say the same thing about beryllium tweeters, but hey, that's just me...)
