My Odyssey Set-up

Brian · « **on:** 22 Feb 2005, 08:36 am »

Hi guys

As more and more people are getting Odyssey I think it would be nice to know what your set-up's look like. No pictures or long stories, just a basic breakdown of the set-up.

This is meant to be an inspiration to both present and future Odyssey-owners.

My set-up:
Pre-amp: Odyssey Tempest
Power-amp: Odyssey Khartago and Odyssey Stratos Plus
CD: Ah! Njoe Tjoeb CD-4000 (standard version)
Vinyl: Kenwood KD-990 (Old) with ZYX pick-up.
Speakers: Odyssey Nightingale.
Cables: Groneberg Interconnect, speaker and Powercord.

Brian

Since my Extreme Monos are listed as:

Lite DAC60 Tube Dac Modded
Pro-Ject Debut II in Purple Gloss
Rat Shack Phono (my pride and Joy!)

The one thing that i really want to change right now is the Mirages... Once the Odyssey's arrive I will really start looking.
