Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?

@jonnydurango - Great post and info. I even understood most of it. 

I think I read the hum was caused by a bad batch of transformers.

Mine is working really well 1 + years.   No hum!     Very musical and open sound stage!

Klaus introduced a new 2 chassis stereo power amp at Axpona. Around 6500. He is really excited about it as he has been working on it for 5 years. 
Sounded good in a quick demo. 

My 1st real amp was a Stratos plus from 2000. It was plugged in and mostly turned on for 15+ years straight and sounded great even when I sold it. Great sounding amps IMO, nearly untouchable for the price if you want a great sounding high current 150 watt amp on the cheap-ish. Warm side of neutral but still plenty detailed and slamming bass. Never edgy.
