Hi All,
I have been reading about Odyssey's Cyclops stereo integrated amp as well as the Khartago power amp.
As I understand, Cyclops is a Khartago amp with a passive pre-amp. Now I have done some reading to further understand passive vs. active pre-amp with their respective pros and cons. As usual, I have found different school of thoughts. Net-net, I have found good reviews of passive pre-amp too and Cyclops integrated amp comes highly recommended. However, I am keen to know from members on HFV on their thoughts on these two amps including the implementation of the passive pre-amp.
One can also always buy the Cyclops and then add the Candela tube pre-amp later on to manage the budget better.
Thoughts welcome.
