I just received my replacement amp today. It's all hooked up and sounds sweet. I'll post some pics of the Stratos' inards, as well as a new updated pic of my entire setup. I moved my Hsu a bit.

More to come...

I'm giddy about this Spiff.
I still haven't cut the Odyssey from my short list yet. It is still in the #3 spot but JUST behind the Anthem MCA20.

As promised...here are some interior pics of the Stratos.

NOTE: This is the first amp that Klaus sent to me. He has told me that the replacement that he sent has an upgraded board. I'll take some pics of that one and post them as well. I left the pictures high rez.

So far so good. I'm diggin' this new amp. I've not yet A/B'd it with my Rotel RMB-1075 for two channel performance. I'll get around to that later and let you know my thoughts.

But it looks so... simple. I'm sure that's part of the beauty of the thing.

I was surprised how simple it was inside too. I guess I've never really looked inside an amp before, but I was expecting it to be a bit more complex.

Amps are VERY simple electrically. Some of the best ones (and I'm talking vintage a bit here) use point to point wiring -that is, no circuit boards. From what I understand, using individual wires helps the designer control issues of capacitance and inductance.

Look like a really well built amp. Those power filter capacitors have a nice huge rating. I imagine that this thing goes LOUD.

Again, as promised (though a bit late) here is a pic of the inside of the new replacement amp.

Are you going to custom-order a lexan case cover for it so you can run it exposed?

Hell no.

I'm not a techno-geek. I much prefer the nice silver finish look.

But boy, it's pretty inside. And it looks better with a red board!
