For you Odyssey Audio Stratos amp owners


What preamp are you using?

This brand has more of a following over on AudioCircle.  You might get more responses if you asked over there.

@shtinkydog  no worries, lots of fish in the ocean, for you and for klaus

@twoleftears yes klaus is online and active on his particular section of a-c - another way to get a hold of him

Mine is a Stratos case Kismet. I’m using a Hegel P20 preamplifier. It seems to pair well. I’m still tracing some minor hum. I’m pretty certain it’s not related to the amp or the preamp, but wire/cable related. 

I purchased a pair of used Stratos a few years ago on Audiogon. Klaus upgraded them to Kismet References. My preamp is a Cary Audio SLP -05. I also have a pair of Cary Founder’s edition amps. Odyssey Audio punches well above its asking price. One of my audiophile buddies prefers their sound to the Cary’s . I go back and forth between the amps as they each have their strengths.

Thank you for the responses, guys.

I took twoleftears advice and went over to audiocircle where there is indeed a big Odyssey following and the information I seek.

But by all means, if anyone has info to add here, it is still appreciated.
