Check out amplify show @Sajid Amit , he has tried many amps and settled on accuphase integrated for Sus. Im not saying that Tubes cannot pair well with Susvara... I am only saying don't close yourself off to various SS options just because you love tubes. I love tubes too... but I would be open to high quality SS (AT LEAST TO TRY).

What you didn't know is that Sajid enquired about Odyssey via private msg with me sometime ago. I just think he hasn't dip his toes into good tube amps .... yet.

I'm of course open to high quality SS amp. I'm just waiting for Bcowen to send one to me. One doesn't buy a Accuphase without blinking unless he's Uncle Scrooge.

and then after that a CFA3 because @paramesh likes it with Susvara and he heard from it you.
Haha. Paramesh, too, has issues. He wanted to pick up a maxed out CFA3 listed recently.

These are worthy pursuits to delay endgame and indulge a little bit more.

With audio, "endgame" only occurs when your family inherits all your toys after you've climbed the stairway to heaven. 🤣

You mean when they sell your junk off at the local yard sale for $10. Nods. :joy:

On a mission to rescue private Oblivion. I brought Lieutenant Grado along.

I haven't posted here before but I often go to @TheMiddleSky 's place to listen to the Oblivion. I really like how it's tuned and particularly how it seems to have special synergy with planar and low impedance cans. Also it's fun to A/B the Oblivion with other amps because often it comes out as the winner. 😂

I have a question... One of the best experience I've heard from this amp was feeding it with a GS-X MK2 set in unity gain as the preamp. Is it possible to customize the Obli / Citadel from @SonicTrance without volume pot as a power amp?

How does Oblivion compare to OOR, now that you’ve heard both. 😊

Power and tubes are not mutually exclusive.
No, and other things come into the equation like linearity with increases in voltages which SS doesn't do.

Going to be tough for a tube amp to deliver current of a high power SS speaker amp. Not impossible but thats going to get ultra expensive and hot real fast.
It's not necessarily power per se but clean power. A lower powered amp with clean power will outperform a high power amp with poor negative feedback control for example.

It's all in the design tbh.
