Tomas, take a low light shot of Telemachus with the amp powered on please. Those are VU meters and not mA meters.

Those meters look familiar

Looks like you may have finally found the right sound signature for you? This is what I found after the experimenting I don't really want to keep changing it any more I'm liking what I hear so why bother! Of course I'm not saying stop obtaining new amps, for people that want please carry on LOL!

Are you a psychic? Yesterday I was totally satisfied with Odyssey. Today I know what a 300b amp with Odyssey DNA will sound. So now I'm only 90% satisfied.

However 4 months after Odyssey arrival, I still find that it's the best tonally with He1000se. My ears of course. Could have stop here right now.

Can you hear any difference with and without feedback?

With feedback, I find it's quieter. Just a little. Also a smite less power. Again not by much.

Could have stop here right now.

 

[whirlwind]

Can the amp be built with both, and some sort of selection switch to choose between the two?

Ha ha....leave it to you brother....always stretching the boundaries of having more is better

Odyssey was suppose to be simple. You know the KISS principle? However it has all these:-

Triode / UL mode switch.
Speaker on/off switch.
Impedance switch.
RCA Input selector switch.
Drive tube selector switch.
Feedback on/off switch.

I find all of these useful and did not regret having any of them.

If I had known it's possible to have ss or tube rectification switch, I would have it.

I know I'm assuming but it sure looks like Telemachus is going to the US or Canada with the 120V input. If Telemachus lands in your area hopefully you and others will get to hear Tomas's latest creation!

Well spotted. Maybe it's going to you Bryant or Bill?

Back is almost similar to Odyssey right?

I wish! Lately I've been spending money like a drunken sailor. Came home, from working all night, on the morning of the 4th of December and checked out what was left of Zach and Bevin's stabilized Friday night sale. The Colorada seemed to speak to me, "take me home". Since Colorado is my home state it just seemed natural. So I bought them. Then the following week on the 7th I pulled the trigger on a LCD-4 auction. Then on the 12th I won an auction for the controversial DCA Stealth. Then I left I needed a Grumpy Goose headphone stand. And to top it all off for traveling the iFi Pro iCAN Signature Amplifier. Perhaps I'm in need of some therapy! Headphone Musical Therapy It Will Be!

You have done well. All lovely purchases. No therapy needed.

Haha you know I like my selection switches

I will be putting:

Impedance
Gain
Source Selection (Likely at the back)
TR/UL (Likely at the back)

I read your comments on the feedback - do you think it is worth it?

What are you using as volume pot?

 

[UntilThen]

I will be putting:

Impedance - Yes
Gain - Yes
Source Selection (Likely at the back) - Yes
TR/UL (Likely at the back) - Yes

Feedback in my case is only for the EL11 driver tubes. Since you're not using that, check with Tomas whether feedback is necessary or beneficial.

Not idea what my volume pot is but it is smooth and it's also a logarithmic potentiometer.

Are you using the same chassis as Telemachus?

Then the following week on the 7th I pulled the trigger on a LCD-4 auction.

An iconic headphone. One that will remain in my stable. You've pick up one in very good condition.

A most relaxing tone with Oblivion and Odyssey. I'm listening to Elton John now and I've not heard Elton John for a very long time. All the classic starts to come back. Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Bernie and the jets, Candle in the wind. By the time I got to Daniel, I've relive my childhood.

What's precious about this LCD4 is that it seek me out. I did not seek it. A friend sounded me out and told me it's mine at a low cost for his few months old LCD4 if I want it. It's his way of saying thanks for my 'advise' to him and friendship. How touching.

So here we go.... Daniel.

Your right Matt, the LCD-4 has a most relaxing tone. I've been listening PC>Eitr>Sonic Frontiers Processor 3>Freya+>Loki Max>Auris Nirvana>LCD-4 and it's just sublime.

The mids are so creamy. Really enjoying Sheryl Crow & Emmylou Harris Perform 'Nobody's Perfect' | CMT Crossroads, AC/DC - Thunderstruck (Official Video), Snowy White and Friends - Slabo Day (2012) / official live video, Pink Floyd - " PULSE " Live 1994 Remastered and many more...........

At times the visual que can really add to the musical experience/enjoyment. Oh ya, when I was in California I went by the Schiitr on the 18th and picked up the Loki Max. Got home on the 21st and hooked up the Loki Max. Couple of hours later the Loki Max was having issues. Schiit just happens sometimes. Schiit was great in doing an exchange and the new Loki Max works as advertised. Still not sure I'll keep the Loki Max but it has been nice to turn a knob and make a few tweaks here and there.

Just getting ready to enjoy Marantz SA-14 v2 spinning Tubular Bells>Yggdrasil A1>Freya S>Cavalli LAu (Liquid Gold OG)>LCD-4

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.
