FYI, the Nuforce STA 200 is not a class D amp ( it is A/B, using a Goldmund circuit design ), as I believe it to be the only non class D amp they make. George, I do not think that was me, as I spoke about passive, vertical biamping with a pair of STA 200s,.....enough with the arguing already. Music touches our hearts, our souls, and it is for enjoyment.
Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp
I am downgrading my amp to a smaller size and considering either Odyssey Khartago Stereo Extreme or the Schitt Audio "Vidar" Therefore, I need some feedback about which amp might sound better and more compatible with a Conrad Johnson PV-14L SE pre-amp. Also, which one would be more compatible with a variety of speakers
My current speakers are Golden Ear Technology model 7's which might possibly be replaced by Magneplanar .7 speakers, or something better than the GET 7's.
Thank you,
S.J.

To those here: I have nothing against anyone’s equipment. I just take issue with the sort that make unsubstantiated claims, like, "....you’d get better sound...", never having heard, or compared, the pertinent components. Again: class of operation isn’t all that’s involved, as regards final sound quality. Grind on, George! |
Whatever, you’ve already shown your knowledge with the BS statements you presented on Class-A that you have no technical experience whatsoever on at all, which explains why your a "fuser" as well someone pointed out below. Replacing the fuses with HI-FI Tuning or Synergistic Research will make a difference too(if you haven’t already). |
Just out of curiosity as to your supposed "friend" who had the Odyssey amps in for evaluation in Australia what specific amps were those and more importantly what year exactly was that?Looks like your a bit of an Odyssey fan Jack, you may not like my answer. https://forum.audiogon.com/search/index?utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=Odyssey&username=jackd He imported the samples which look like they are still current models, a few years ago, two stereo's and two pairs monoblocks, I believe Khartago and Stratos. We, 8 of us (6 potential customers), listened over a few hours to the Stereo's and thought well of them both, even into a hard to drive pair of Infinity Epsilon. Then we listened to their bridged monoblock versions. We thought to a "reasonable level" the stereo's were far better, if you wanted to party the bridged mono's were the way to go. Then we opened them up to see what the story was, and I pointed out the mono's were just bridged stereo's. The two stereo's sold that day, the monos he sold off later. needless to say he never became an importer. Cheers George |
