Up for sale is my highly acclaimed and well renowned Odyssey Candela Preamp. I’ve enjoyed this awesome piece for about 9 months, but as most of you can relate, the need to crawl down the perpetual Rabbit Hole beckons, so I’m putting this beautiful piece up for sale. I am the second owner.
This is also the AXPONA 2015 demo model which heeds itself to some pedigree (at least I think so!
). The previous owner took it home from the rack when the event wrapped up. Many of you heard this preamp at the show or have read reviews of the room in event coverage. The AXPONA room sounded fantastic and the unit was brought straight to his dedicated listening room and has not moved since it was shipped to me.
The Candela is loaded with virtually every option, and of course it's sonic performance reflects Klaus' confidence in using it to showcase his company @ AXPONA.
SOLD!Specs include:
- Remote option (Klaus was using a Symphonic Line remote at the show, so this unit comes with a Symphonic Line branded remote. Functions as designed)
- HT Bypass
- Factory upgraded tube sockets
- Chrome knobs
- Upgraded Amperex 12AU7 Long Plate D Getter Foil Strip NOS tubes from Brent Jessee recordings (
http://www.audiotubes.com/). I believe Brent sells these for $250 pair, but as a used set it's hard to really say what the value is.
I believe retail would be around $2,100, but I don't have a box for it. Also, since he just grabbed it off the demo rack on the last day at AXPONA, it did not come with a power cord. I used an upgraded power cord the whole time. I can include an OEM-type cord if needed.
Shipped via UPS or Fedex. Local auditions and pickups are welcome as well!
