No, no, I am only joking because I've had an eye on it myself for very long!

Seriously, its worth its weight in gold and that is a steal of a price for it. The CD67SE, I believe, was the last of the Marantz players that could be modified to the degree that one has been -- moreover, being a musician himself, TS Lim's modifications appeal to the audiophile and music listener alike. I am sure this player sounds far better than any competition at several times its price. It is a very lucky man who buys it.

Well I'm that man!

Not exactly.

I did pick it up 2 days back from Vinny but for a close friend of mine. Must say, Vinny is indeed a very patient audiophile! I think I gave him a tough time with a lot of listening sessions and some completely ignorant questions; thanks to my friend (a nubee in HiFi) who came only 'once' to see his future cdp! Right now the player is enjoying itself at my home. Very nice player - warm sound at its best.

Btw, Vinny himself got a very impressive system. If only he gave some more space for it to breath, it would literally shine. And thanks to him, I'm getting educated on cables finally!

At the risk of a possible diversion to thanks giving; let me thank him once again for his hospitality.

Best Regards.

Yeah...you guys are having too much fun at my expense

I need to get myself a bigger room to do justice my setup...

The new amp is anything what Odyssy mentioned......It is a musical monster.

Unleash. good to hear that you like the cd player. That was a steal.

Vinny, you should think about doing at least a mini review of it at some point, it will be the first on this forum
Cheers

Hi Guys,
It is the odyssey stratos power amplifier(plus version)
Odyssey audio is a venture by Klaus Bunge in the US. The design for the amplifiers and speakers are from the ultra hi-end symphonic line of Germany. They have a strategic tie-up which enables Klaus to sell his hand built gear at reasonable prices. His after sale service is legendary.
Welcome to Odyssey Audio
Manufacturer, Hifi, High End, Duisburg, Germany
I will try and do a mini review soon
