Testimonials

Only the best things to say about my experience with Paul and Odyssey. From purchase thru delivery, Paul actively guided and assured all phases of the process. He found exactly the console I was looking for at the price I was willing to spend, made sage recommendations for tech, shipping & set-up, smoothed the bumps and bruises. Paul was instrumental in every facet of creating the perfect console-buying experience. Paul delivers!

I chose Odyssey Pro Sound for a recent purchase because they offered a considerably lower price than other online retailers. But when the unit arrived and we realized that the I/O was not going to work out with our current setup (our mistake), I experienced the remarkable customer service here at Odyssey Pro Sound. Paul was incredibly understanding and extremely helpful in resolving the problem, even though it was our own fault! Thanks, Paul!

I've been involved in music and sound production for the past 36 years.
Paul Savasta at Odyssey Pro Sound is the best salesperson I have
ever worked with. I'm enjoying the Manley Massive Passive, Manley
Vari Mu, Chandler TG1, Chandler Zener Limiter and Crane Song STC-8
I purchased from him. Plus, the Antelope Audio 10MX Atomic Master Clock
makes everything sound amazing!
Paul offers the best prices and follow up support of any audio dealer on the planet.

I tried Odyssey Pro Sound in 2001 upon recommendation of a friend. Since then, it's been one successful transaction after another, buying and selling, plus exceptional customer service, 14 years and counting!!!

I have been doing business with Paul Savasta at Odyssey Pro Sound since 1994. I found his ad in the classifieds of Mix Magazine while looking for microphone preamps for my then 1" 16 track demo factory. At that time there were no shortage of used equipment brokers to take your money for some sight unseen (even by them) piece of audio gear. It was difficult to distinguish the integrity level of the various players in his game from their ads, and being I wasn't looking to buy an 8078 at inflated pricing, finding the guy who would find the 'best deal for me' was the quest. Talking to Paul on the phone led me to two realizations: He admittedly didn't know everything there was to know about Pro Audio gear, a rarity, and he actually cared about your level of happiness, an even bigger rarity.
It is now nearly twenty years later, and even though Paul's level of knowledge has mushroomed, his ego hasn't, and my first call when I'm searching for a new 'tool' is 978-744-2001. I've had his number memorized for that long. Through all those many transactions I can honestly say there has never been a bad one; Once, an item was not as advertised by the seller and Paul quickly intervened to make it right.
In summation, as I sit in front of my classic Neve console with Flying Faders and a collection of the greatest microphones ever made, typing on an iPad before today's session, I know that HONESTY was the trait that kept me coming back year after year. The Pro Audio dealers who survived the economic Holocaust in the music production business are very good at what they do, the sleazy ones were weeded out, the older veterans retired, and I've patronized almost all of the current ones at one time or another, but Paul is my go to guy!

If you are considering selling your used recording equipment, look no further than Paul Savasta at Odyssey Pro Sound. I have been doing business with Paul for many years and have only great things to say!
Whether it was selling my consoles (TAC Magnum, AMEK Big) or purchasing my tape machine (Studer A827), I knew that I could buy and sell my equipment without worrying whether I was going to get paid or if the equipment was in the condition the seller claimed.
Believe me, when you live in Miami and you are buying a tape machine that is in Chicago, the last thing you want to be worrying about is the broker's assurances!

Among the many clients in the satisfied customer base of Odyssey Pro Sound, I may rank as one of the most recent, and I am honored to write this testimonial. My first contact with Paul Savasta and Odyssey Pro Sound was a mere 2 years ago. It was during this time that I decided to build a home project studio;but with a twist. It had to be all analog; you know tubes, valves &reel to reel multitrack. I am a "fossil" in this digital/computer based age of, well everything, including music. As a songwriter/ one man band, I have owned and operated several studios since the early seventies, when I was much younger and lived in N.Y. I "cut my teeth" as the expression goes on the beauty of the analog sound. I knew from the start it would be a tall order to source such equipment but after all I naively thought, how much could have changed in a decade or two. I couldn't be the only analog man left! So,began my search. I tried all the industries usual suspects of today; the Home Depots of the equipment world. It took just a few frustrating phone calls to well intentioned, but nonetheless very ill informed order takers that the analog recording process had been relegated to the dust bin of time, along with Hula Hoops and Yoyos. Heck, they didn't even know the basics!Either I had to give up on my idea, or find a different source. Out of pure frustration I searched Vintage Recording Equipment and AH Ha, There I found Paul's' website. From the very first phone call, Paul and I connected both on a business as well as personal level. Before even speaking about the first piece of equipment, we spoke of our backgrounds,our families, our shared love of songwriting and creative music production techniques ;Eureka! I had found a kindred spirit in Paul. In my many dealings and purchases since then,Paul's' detailed knowledge about the condition and functionality of the piece of equipment I was inquiring about was and is very reassuring. Because most of what I have bought is used and in many cases no longer manufactured, Paul's' insight is crucial in my decision making process.From a pair of LA-4 compressors to an Otari MTR 10 for mastering and a ton of other gear in between ,every item has performed as advertised. Oh, and one more thing of equal importance. Paul will never sell anything that he believes does not fit YOUR individual need. In my case, he knows exactly why I built my studio in the first place( I just love creating music) the equipment that's there already, how I work, what the inherent limitations are to my current set up, and the END GAME. After all, this is a hobby, pure vanity you might say. Consequently, he will never try to up sell me to a U87 when a reasonably priced microphone will give me the same overall desired end result. Said another way, he will never let me throw my money away on something he feels is not justified for my situation' just so he can make a few more dollars. How great is that? someone who knows his product and makes sure you don't squander your kids inheritance. Sounds like a win-win to me!
I will continue to buy anything I need for my studio from Paul. Period! In my humble opinion, there is no-one better in the industry than Paul Savasta and Odyssey Pro Sound.

It started in the early 60’s with my first recording session at Columbia Studios, NYC and has continued ever since. In the early 80’s my wife asked me to get my stuff out of the house, (it was everywhere) - in the early 90’s she asked if she could have the garage back so she could put her car back in, (most of us have been there too …) and in the early 2000’s I opened my first ‘Real’ commercial studio. As soon as I realized I needed ‘Real’ Gear, I realized I needed someone who understood ‘Real’ Gear. Today we have Ebay, which is great for some things, Sweetwater and Musicians Friend that are great for some things and Paul at Odyssey Pro Sound for the ‘Real’ Things. I would draw the following parallel: You can do all your stock trading with a 1-800- discount broker but when you need serious financial or retirement planning you seek out a registered Financial Adviser, and you pay them for their skill and experience. You also get the same person when you call back. Paul has been there, answering the phone for years - helping with the serious investment in the Gear in my studio and keeping me from making mistakes that would have cost both time and money, something most of the ‘pick it yourself and go to the shopping cart checkout area' of their on line websites can’t do. As long as I am in business, Paul from Odyssey Pro Sound will always by my first, and usually my only call.

I have been a customer of Odyssey Pro Sound for over 20 years. During this time I have purchased and sold a massive amount of high end gear (microphones, preamps, compressors, FX units, etc.) through Paul and Odyssey.
I have always found Paul to be an honest and reliable broker who genuinely loves music and the industry. His knowledge of vintage gear is unequalled among pro audio dealers and his integrity is second to none. He offers great support for all the products he sells and has a naturally positive vibe that is refreshing in this world of cynical gear heads.
He is also the only broker I will use when it comes to purchasing and selling vintage microphones.
There is simply no other choice as far as I am concerned.

Ive been dealing with Paul from Odyssey Pro sound for the last 20 years and I have always been pleased with his service and great communication. Many dealers are interested only in the sale, but Paul always took time to talk about family, music etc. I've owned a production studio (studiofrisson.com) for the last 25 years. And when I needed a piece of equipment Paul always found it for me...even a Fairchild 670 which is rare.
Transactions are always super smooth and pleasant.

Mainly every time I want to buy a new or used piece of studio gear, Paul Savasta is the man and I'm writing this based on my own experience with him.

Thanks Paul

Dear Odyssey Pro Sound / Paul Savasta,

I would like to take a moment to thank you and recognize you as being one of the greatest audio companies I have ever had the pleasure to deal with with.

First, your company is outstanding in many different categories. In being a customer of yours for years now, buying equipment from you has been always easy and an excellent smooth experience with very low reasonable prices for the products.

As you know you have sold equipment for me which has been absolutely outstanding for me. With the above said, every transaction has been very very smooth. Better than I ever expected. This has not been the case with other companies that I have dealt with sad to say.

Also your customer service and advice has been extraordinarily valuable to me. You have never steered me wrong in advice for either selling or purchasing a piece of equipment. I can count on you and on Odyssey Pro Sound to deliver whatever it is that I need to have done whether it is sell or purchase of a piece of gear.

In my 40 years (since the early 70s) dealing with musical and pro audio sales companies, service, and tech-support, as a producer, audio engineer in the studio, and live sound, you are one of the rare companies out there that follow through with their customer sales service and support. I feel very honored as a customer with you.
This is very rare to find a company like yours, and a person like you who truly cares about the customers.

I can honestly say I can call you at any time, or email, and get an answer to a question about advice, service, or tech-support concerning pro gear. You always either answer the phone or if I leave a message you call back in an extremely short timely manner. I can count on Odyssey Pro Sound for all of my sound needs.

This is outstanding !!! I look forward to a long future business relationship with you for many years to come for our recording studio, and live audio needs.

Thank you Odyssey Pro Sound for your excellence in service to the audio community. You and Odyssey Pro Sound, are a seven star company to me. In today's day and age, it's hard to find people like you that care as much as you do. You're a true professional, always kind and polite and know the right answers.

Thank you.
