I remember checking out the price of the Nirvana down under, $9299 Australian dollars is not cheap. I feel like I stole a Auris Nirvana when I picked one up off of Headphones.com buy/sell forum for $3200 US dollars that was only 1.5 months old.All very good gear Bryant. It was a listening session of Chord Qutest > Auris Nirvana > LCD4 that made me want a custom amp and LCD4. That pairing of Nirvana and LCD4 is very good but Odyssey and LCD4 is even better.
The world has not known Odyssey yet but that's the level it's playing at and much better and more versatile in my opinion. Not to mention a lot cheaper.
The versatility of Odyssey and all the different tubes is one of the attributes that makes Odyssey special, along with the transformers, Yamamoto tube sockets etc... I love the ability to use different power tubes with Chameleon. Still find the EL156 to be my favorite. I'll be posting some pictures and a write up soon in the Eric McChanson Headphone Amp?? forum.
