DETAILS? SS? Twin sets of outputs? (why this last item?)
The BAT SS preamp latest ver could do that for you a friend here whom I value his imput has said to me the Rowland Capri. Perhaps a nice Krell?
Personally, if them amps aint changing anytime soon, and they arent balanced truly, Id stay with a tube pre. Some Thor 1000 MK II are being sold now at most attractive $$$. They are a super buy, despite the lack of current support. Paul, took a powder on us.
Theyve superb build and only use 4 tubes. Self biasing too. Plug and play, virtually. They do sound best with Thor amps, but I do so dig mine! Its a keeper for sure as it would be well beyond my means to improve upon its performance alone . And every amp Ive attached it to has been taken to antoeranother level. SS or HS..
Im certain other preamps can and will do the trick for ya, but I can not really say as Ive not tried them all with Odyssey amps.
Long as you stay in the active preamp camp, and get a well made, well designed, and good performing unit, Id say you cant go wrong if at all. Especially with the input impedance of the Extremes. They are 100K each, right? Thats hard to mismatch a preamp to 100K. Thereafter, its a simple matter of tastes. I simply like the input of tubes some where and a preamp seems the usual suspect for me.
oh... and I do listen to rock too... just not exclusively.
Good luck
