Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it?

Having read this far in the post, including the very thorough response from Klaus, I find myself thinking:

1. I would really like to talk to this man

2. How can a small variation in the AC line voltage have such a significant difference in an amp’s performance?
 

In my understanding, and experience, the utility company is obligated by law to provide power that conforms to a nominal voltage +/- 10%. Meaning that the voltage coming into my house can be between 105 to 135 VAC. I have measured such swings in a house I once lived in occurring in an interval of less than 30 minutes. I have since moved, and I am now served by a much better utility company.
 

So, on the one hand, I have been lead to believe that a good power supply for any electronic gear, be it computer, stereo, or what-have-you should be able to handle such fluctuations on the input with affecting the power delivered on the outputs, while on the other hand, Klaus is saying the source voltage determines the amount of bias on the output tubes. 
 

My follow-up question might be if this is a design feature of Odessey amps only, or do all designs share this sensitivity to the supply voltage?

If the latter is true, it would certainly justify the cost of a regenerative power conditioner, which I’m told is some cases is itself an amplifier of sorts. 
 

Thoughts, anyone?

Odyssey has been in business for 36 years so if there have been significant ongoing and widespread problems we would’ve certainly heard from many more people here over those many years, and it just strains credibility to think otherwise

I can’t imagine why you felt the need to slam @2psyop, who had bad luck with Odyssey, with a lecture parroting what klaus just stated a few posts before.

@jetter  I was responding to a statement he made to me earlier, and you’ve completely misinterpreted my statement so just save it.  I’m not “slamming” him and acknowledged and sympathized with his misfortune.  I was pointing out that anecdotal evidence over many, many years strongly suggests that his experience is in the minority and shouldn’t necessarily stop someone else from exploring these products if they’re interested.  

I am not an Odessey owner. I have visited Klaus’ room at many CAF shows. His room always sounds great. He always plays interesting music and sets the mood for pleasurable listening. He is easy to talk to as long as you’re polite. 
 

These are great traits for a HiFi company.

To Klaus,

I wish you well. I do not intend to hurt Odyssey or your business. Clearly you are doing well. You have your fans and the people who truly like your products. You bought back the equipment from me and you stated over and over, you don’t usually do that. No issue here except my loss was bigger than yours. At the time I bought Odyssey gear I was spending blue collar money and trying to afford my first hi-end pieces and the facts are, I lost a fair amount during the long period of shipping equipment back and forth and finally selling it back to you. Nothing wrong with my AC or issues with my electrical connections which while scratching your head … you told me I must have. That was long ago. Now it’s really a lot of mud under the bridge. My experience is valid and true. I congratulate you on your success and I have been happy with other equipment I have now. Perhaps one day I will meet you and buy you a beer. And leave the messy situation behind us.
