Tube Integrated for Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE

will look forward to your thoughts...

I too look forward to your impressions, Grant. How ironic that my last system had the Odyssey Stratos Extreme(stereo, not monos) and now I'm changing to the new VAC Auricle Musicblocs. I did enjoy the Odyssey Stratos immensely, but there's something about a well-designed tube amp. Who knows? Maybe I won't like my VAC amps and will want my Stratos back. We'll soon see.

Sherod, I've had a handful of first class SS and digital amps in my system and none have encouraged me to put the tube amp on the auction block. That's why I say we'll see how the Extreme Monos perform. They certainly have enough power and current to drive my VR4 HSEs in a manner that will be different than the VAC.

Different is the key word.

You're going to love the Musicblocks...and will be lusting after a Phi amp in no time at all.

Thanks a lot for planting that seed of "lust" in my heart for the PHI's. I need to be satisfied for a while with the Musicblocs. Let us know how the Odyssey Stratos Mono's work out.

I own the extreme monos Oddyssey stratos I never regret
having them.They are very natural sounding amps.I am
thinking of selling them, but it has been a year now.
I am having a hard time letting them go.
