Suffice it to say that if I’ve dedicated half a year of my life working to afford and finally owning the BennyAudio Odyssey, it speaks volumes about its incredible capabilities. Mine is all black, with the engraving painted in a light blue metallic and pearl finish. Other colors are available, including silver and white, and Thomasz is reportedly working on more options.

If you’re seeking the ultimate turntable to elevate your system and ensure decades of satisfaction, the Odyssey should be at the top of your list. Its performance is unparalleled, and I can’t imagine anyone not being fully content for a long time.

However, if you’re looking for a competitive advantage in a spitting contest with your audio buddies, spending a lot more money won’t necessarily translate into a significant improvement in sound quality. As I mentioned earlier, there are turntables that cost much more and have more intricate features, but they often come with unobtainium and can’taffordium bits and pieces that don’t always equal a relative improvement to the sound and add more complexity.

In my opinion, it’s better to save the extra money and invest in more reference vinyl or upgrade the cartridge. That, in my view, would be a more prudent choice. You simply can’t get a better bang for the buck.
