Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?


Is the Khartargo or the Stratos worth it??

Odyssey also offer numerous upgrade options on each model, as well as customizing to meet your requirements...mine were totally reliable over a number of years...

I have to disagree with you again... sorry man. If you go to audiocircle.com and go through his own Odyssey Audio thread you will find all the problems. Has he gotten new suppliers for his transformers? Who knows.

For all here who did not have any issues with the gear, I am happy you had a great experience. I am telling you about my experience and my opinion which is what the OP is asking. Again, I am happy for anyone who has trouble free equipment regardless of who made it. That was not my experience.

Not to bad mouth Odyssey, but I had a few problems and finally decided to just wash my hands with the brand. The Kismet mono blocks were excellent amps, but other issues were there that I could not overlook. 

There are better preamps to be had but Klaus' amps are audio gold for the price.

My Kismet is dead quiet, sounds resplendent and never leaving the house ...

 

I had similar issues as per giantsalami and 2psyop. Got rid of it at a loss and never looked back. Much happier with the class D monos that replaced it.
