    Well, it's confirmed. I haven't had the Odyssey in the rig lately and I have been listening to different Carver amplifiers. I can turn the rig off and back on with no real sonic degradation or warm up time with the exception of the Jolida tubed CDP which usually stays on all of the time.

    I'll be reintroducing the Odyssey again here in the near future and I'll see if once again the same thing happens. It happened every time on the rare occasions the rig was completely powered down and the Odyssey was in the loop.

    What kind of speakers are you using? If they're SDA's, I'd recommend you send them to me immediately...

    My Odysseys sound horrible when powered down for more than 24 hours...

    But after about 3 days of being left on, they sing - boy do they sing.

    It would be logical to begin at the beginning. I would only buy gear that begins with the letters A, B or C. After sometime has passed, please feel free to proceed through the alphabet.

    Holy crap Trey, I just noticed that you now have 15,000 posts!

    That's a lot of blabberin'. Congrat's dude and BTW three days is what it takes for mine as well. Day two I just can't even stand to listen to it as it's actually worse than day one. But, like you said on day three she just opens up and sings like no other. Every aspect of what has been FUBAR over the past two days just all comes together in a wonderfully orchestrated way. Sing baby sing........

    You mean like Antique Sound Labs, Blue Note and Cary? Yeah, I could do that but it would take me a while to make it all the way up to the Manley Neoclassic 500. :eek:

    However, ASL would be a great start.......

    Am I really at 15,000

    Man I stopped looking at that about 4 years ago! lol

    Thanks --- yeah Odyssey gear is strange, the Candela was a real weirdo when I first got it. After about 30 days, it sounded completely different.

    Lucky for me, EarlyB's buddy had already done the initial break in for me. Congrat's on the 15K mark bud!

    Sweety balls? You mean those sweet Italian cookies with the powder sugar on them? If that's the case thanks for the compliment.

    I'll catch up with you later. PS: did you get your rig up and running yet?

    Them's be the goooooood cookies!!! YUM! YUM!

    Rigs not back together yet, the NAD had to back in for repair. Stephen gave me a nice preamp to hold me over till it gets back. Also, on a side note he might be taking on the MF line shortly. Great stuff.
