If you get an opportunity,could you elaborate on the Beacon/Odyssey combo,,I auditioned the Beacon last year and it mated well with my Quicksilvers.Thanks.
Been asking some questions of Blair of Nightshade Audio about the Beacon Two and he's very quick to respond, much appreciated.

I am running a Conrad Johnson PV15 tube Pre and love it with my Mono Exteme's and Loreleis.  I got it second hand of course.


As per the subject line, I'm soliciting input from forum members regarding their respective experience re: pairing a tube preamp with Odyssey Extreme Monos. My Tempest preamp with 2 set of outputs still performs well and I still like the built-in vinyl stage for MC. However, I've been thinking about making a change and would value input. Yes, I'm aware Klaus makes the Candela and have read much about that preamp, so comment about non-Candela tube preamp pairings would be desired. FYI - don't need a ton of gain since I've gotten some new speakers are quite efficient.
