Well, my platinum face plates for my Odyssey extreme monos finally arrived today.
After spending 2 months on a ship between the US and Australia (never use surface mail!!), I found the box that I've been eagerly waiting for.
In my enthusiasm I broke off one of the bolts on the platinum face plate trying to tighten it too much (doh!), but otherwise my monos now look gorgeous.
Here's the final system.
Consonance Reference 2.2 CD Player
Eastern Electric Minimax Preamp
Odyssey Extreme Monos
Odyssey Loreleis
Slinkylink Silver speaker cable and interconnects.
Eighth nerve room treatment
The sound is just captivating. I had used B&W N805s (now on HT duty) before and on a whim put them back in again just to compare. What was obvious was that it had the same detail but that 'seductiveness' that the Loreleis had was gone. In went back the Loreleis!!
I really can't think of any more upgrades than this (other than a bigger house with a dedicated music room).
Klaus is a champ as usual and was really understanding at my hand wringing for the wait.
I will try to post some pictures on the Gallery if I can (never done it before).
Cheers
Charles
