Preamp Deal of the Century

I just heard the Odyssey Pre-amp at the SF show! Everyone who walked into his room was blown away.... then he told them the price and there jaws dropped!!! No one is talikg about this company in the trade mags because hes blowing the preception of what you need to spend to get unbelivable quality.

How about a QUALITY Pre-amp for 1000.00 that has the same design as the super expensive Symphonic Line Pre-amp.

Call Klaus at Odyssey and at least check it out.

How is Syrah pronounced?

Like the wine variety, Sear-a (soft a, accent on Sear)

Funny from the first time I saw the spelling I saw it as Sarah and have pronounced and spelled it as Sar-ah since. Now it's Sear-a? Very nice tone to it, I like it.

While we're on the subject of wine, just in case everyone doesn't know already, Mick's top end preamp, the Grange is named after what is generally considered Australia's finest bottle of wine - The Penfolds Grange. I think the preamp is well named, because the Grange wine is unique, mysterious, lasts for decades and cannot easily be compared to another wine. It basically sets the standard, as I'm sure does the preamp. I have the Syrah right now, but in a year or two I'd consider taking the plunge and getting the Grange. If I do, I think I might treat myself to a bottle of Grange at the same time. I think they'd go well together :-) (Incidentally, if you do buy a bottle of Grange, get the 1998 vintage. It's rated 99 points by both Wine Specator and Wine Advocate - almost perfect - you'll have to dish out over $220 for a bottle though, if you can find it :-) Cheers,
Outlier.
