A story worth telling here. A year after I got Oblivion, I was in the hunt for different amps again. So at the start of this year, the purchase started with a He1000se followed by the Questyle CMA 12, Violectric v280, Schiit Mjolnir 2, La Figaro 339i, SMSL Sp200, Elekit TU-8500 and TU-8200 and Auralic Taurus Mk2. So I was listening with He1000se and all these new toys and Oblivion was untouched. Then I decided to invest in a custom amp call Odyssey. That started the process of selling off all these amps again.... after a few months.
It was only in the last week that I really sit down and enjoy music with He1000se, LCD-3f, He6se with Oblivion. I can now say that I've wasted my time and energy chasing other amps when the best sounding amp is right here with me - Oblivion. An amp that has all the tube goodness, stunning details and amazing soundstage without the need to roll tubes. An amp that is super quiet and cool to the touch. An amp that does not boast expensive transformers, sockets, capacitors. An amp that even have speakers out and at 2.3w can drive my Axis Voicebox S at nearfield listening with no problems.
An amp so cool I can even rest the He1000se on it. I'm still on my 1st set of tubes since Oblivion came to me on 23rd Dec 2019. Tubes has never been changed once.
So the question is ... how will Odyssey fare against Oblivion? We have a double O here.
