Is there anyone here using Odyssey amps. I am considering a Stratos power amp. The only thing putting me off is that they a factory direct. There isn't a UK distributor or stockist. They seem to be a lot of amp for the money.

ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Steve, a word from the wise.
Just get yourself a Neurochrome 286 or 686, there have been a couple of 686 builds on the forums recently.

I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
Based on what ???
Just saying; and in my opinion it can be seen as unprofesional to make sweeping statements like that on an audio forum, unless of course you have extensive knowledge and experience of every Amplifier out there, if on the other hand, it is your opinion, then its always better to state that.

Hi Anthony, hope you are well there.
Good point about a 'sweeping statement', the fact that it was has me thinking people might realise I have heard a few amps in my time.
It's not one I have any professional involvement in, in fact I shelled out my own wonga to buy one.
IME it is the most transparent amplifier out there, having heard/borrowed/designed a lot of different ones/types.
Without getting into published figures 'it does what it says on the tin' to borrow an advertising phrase.
That's my opinion, but I certainly haven't heard every amplifier in the world, or am ever likely to, particularly ones that have telephone number pricing.

Was it the Neurochrome 686 that I heard at yours a few days ago Alan? If it was then all I can say is that in your set up driving the Quad statics it was certainly impressive, very open, great depth and sound stage, I was surprised by the bass depth from the Quads and the control. Very similar I would say to my Krell KSA-80 but I am sure there are subtle differences. would be interesting to do a side by side comparison.
Alternatively I think Steve would not go far wrong with one of these or even one of these if in good condition:-

Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
