in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
For Sale: The Odyssey Audio Stratos Solid State Power Amp. Purchased by me less than 5 years ago and checked over by Klaus since then. Warranty will be transferable. This has been my primary power for the last three years or so.

This is the Dual Mono Extreme amp. It has two power supplies and two boards, one for each channel. It carries the full compliment of 16 caps, 8 to a side. It's also a beast @ over 70 lbs. Massive heatsinks on both sides. This is NOT what Klaus would consider a Kismet version. But this is the version just prior to the Kismet.

Selling due to a recent acquisition that nullifies my need for this.

Specs Kinda here: http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-stratos-stereo.html
Klaus no longer sells (but he does support) the dual mono amps.
Here's the monoblocks: http://www.odysseyaudio.com/products-stratos-mono.html


Polky Price is $1600 shipped/insured, you pay fee's if applicable. I do accept and prefer paypal friends/family. I just shipped a similar one so my cost is about $100 to ship and insure.

I'll also include two heavy 14g power cords.

    Pre Weekend Bumpy. $1500 with above terms.
    If you can pick it up or need it delivered within 100 miles of Rockford, IL make it $1400.

    BIG Bump...

    $1000 - you pay shipping. Depending on where you are that could come to about $100.

    The rest of the Odyssey gear has gone and I really don't need this one here anymore.

    EDIT - the Kismet gear remains!!!! Only the past system is about gone. Tempest is gone and the Candela is just waiting payment.

    Dayng!

    Hey Aaron, what are the general specs on this, since it's dual mono? Couldn't quite figure that out from the product pages.

    Having met Klaus, seen his shop and heard his creations, I can attest that his stuff is first rate. I’d never previously heard of anyone doing a 20 year warranty. He also loves doing upgrades, so this dual monk could open up a wide road toward your audio future.

    Smartbuttt… :D

    You can always take a chants with Klaus and Odyssey Audio. It's really not even a chants you're taking.

    I always wanted to be a Gregorian Monk. But I never got the chants.

    Had enough?!!! >:):D

    maybe...

    at an average cost (non-organic and organic) of about $1.40 each...

    Can you provide 800 avocados in good saleable condition? Should come to about 300 lbs. you pay shipping.

    Hmm, I will check with my suppliers along the southern border... First, if you could remit $500 as a good faith deposit to the royal crown of avocadoism, and in return, once we have clearance for said product, I will pay this fee back along with interest in addition to the purchase price.

    Also, do not worry about shipping, I have comrades in your area who will pick up and arrange shipment.

    Please, feel peace in our transaction as I am royal blood.

    Best regards

    Mr. Prince said he won't do it for less than $50,000. Something to do with small change, prison and transfer rates.

    2nd Price drop - $900 for the weekend.

    That's cool, being stoned and all, I understand.

    There is the possibility that this may replace the Butler I picked up from Tony. Just getting to that time to experiment a bit. There's also the possibility that the Joule may, MAY, go on the market. I'm probably going to pick up a PSA BHK pre and check it out. I'm kind of liking the idea of a complete PSA system.

    Also interested in a comparison between the Butler and Odessey. Tony spoke highly of how the Butler and Joule matched up. I have had the Butler high on my amp list since picking up the Joule from him.
