The manufactures dislike the blind ABX test.Less profit?Ma... | |

| Mother of All Ground Loops This can be dangerous!!!Does your home have properly grounded outlets? Check to see if there is a ground lift switch flipped. The Odyssey amps look like they have a grounded plug I think?You could call them and ask if they are. The ones on their w... | |
