Hi Y’all, I’m a new member and rekindling my love for the audio hobby. I had to give up my auto racing hobby due to age. I’m a long time music lover so with the money I’m saving not spending it on race car stuff, I’m upgrading my system. I started with some Magnepan LRS speakers with Schiit Vidar amplification and it sounds pretty good but I want to bump it to the next level. The front end of the system is a Shanling transport with a Pontus 15th dac. I feel I need more amp to get the most out of the Maggie’s so I’m upgrading. I’m retired and on a budget so I’m looking for incremental affordable improvements. I came across a used Odyssey Stratos Extreme amp needing some work (it won’t start up) but it looked like it was new, pretty solid and a very well constructed unit for a very fair price. So it begins. I’m going to reach out to Odyssey to see if they can resurrect this amp.
