Accepts 12ax7 with no problems. Great tone from this medical grade Amperex Bugle Boy 12ax7 with white paint. 12ax7 gain factor is a 100. See my volume knob position driving the Boston speakers. Running this in triode mode with no feedback.



This is the 12ax7.

I've been asked how it sound with speaker taps. I will try it later but with my spare HD650. Will do that later today.

This is my speaker taps cable of pure silver and I had it connected to the speaker terminals. It's playable and there's no noise using my LCD4. However I don't find the need as the headphone outs of Odyssey are already so powerful but it's possible if you want to use it. Definitely lots more power.

By the way that 'final song' that you post is nice.

Yeah! I've no idea who she is other than she's Dutch but, what a voice! I came across her from some speaker reviews.

 

[baronbeehive]

Thank you for that. I mean, like a lot.

We must persuade UT to use a "Matt" finish on his knobs with his next amp .

Who makes the cable?

Who makes the cable?

@Yetiman72 Owner of Destiny-2 and a friend of mine. He's been hiding lately. Also make the silver cable for my LCD4.

Odyssey tone transforming before my ears at the end of the 2nd day. I love the burn in process and I won't rush it because I can hear the sound changing. Tone matures and you lose the initial metallic zing. Soundstage opens up. It's like a flower bud opening up.

This is lovely tube tone with amazing clarity and weighted bass. Roll in the GEC KT66 and using Telefunken EL11 in UL mode.

Be careful with that GE tube, the GE inquisition will soon punish you.

Odyssey looks stunning Matt your a lucky fellow, Your got Abyss coming too WOW...

Good grief, man. Even Yamamoto sockets will wear out at some point.

Pity you can't come here Shane. Abyss powered by Odyssey is something I look forward. Should be great. It's tube tone done right.

Yeah, not enough tubes in the world to wear them out.

Yamamoto sockets is a great choice even though it's expensive. However Tomas's suggestion to using Sowter transformers is pretty spot on. I don't even know the brand Sowter then. I only know Lundahl but Lundahl wouldn't do custom transformers unless the order is above 100.
