I'm a die hard tube head, but I heard an Odyssey system today that knocked by socks off. A Tempest and Dual Monoblock I think was what it was. Totally blew me away.
I read the "Set up and Tweak Tips" section on their web site. For those with more technical savvy than myself, does that make sense? Why shouldn't I be able to turn my system on and off and have it sound good every time I want to listen to it. My Carver solid state gear and my Dynaco and Bottlehead vacuum tube gear has always sounded fine with no warm up or extensive break in. I always wonder about manufacturers that indicate that their equipment must be "warmed up" or "broken in" to sound reasonable. Opinions??
