Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?


Is the Khartargo or the Stratos worth it??

No. I had a Stratos amp, a Tempest preamp and a Candela preamp. Two of them developed either a hum or spurious noise. I could not get them fixed correctly by the owner. After two years of back and forth shipping to Odyssey Klaus eventually bought them back at a big loss to me. He stated I had bad AC in my home. Never again. By the way, he lended me a Symphonic Line integrated while I waited for my equipment. It worked beautifully and it was very used.

Your first time posting here??? Interesting.

I had Klaus’s  top of the line Kismets mated with Rogue RP 7. Sold them and wish that I didn’t. Currently have a Coda CSiB but certainly doesn’t have the magic that my prior set up had. 
I have had a Candela pre and a few other Khartago configs. It can be frustrating dealing with Klaus as communication can sometimes be challenging. 
He is a one man show and not getting any younger so service down the road may be in question. Also his packaging is probably the worst in the industry. Considerable damage to 3 different pieces that I have had shipped/received. 

Are they worth it - meaning - Are they a good buy, sound quality for the cost?
