Odyssey Stratos

Have anybody had experience in direct comparison between Odyssey Stratos and some highly regarded integrated amps, particularly Creek 5350SE, Musical Fidelity A3, Simaudio Moon I-5, Plinius 8100/8150i, Bryston B-60. I'm interested in impression from the direct AB comparision of sound character and sound quality. Also, one of the comments for Stratos at audioreview.com mentioned that it cause a low level noise can be heard if you get close to speakers. Does there anybody else have comments on background noise either from amp itself or speakers? From the reviews I read, seems like Odyssey is very good communicating with customers. I sent a e-mail to them three or four days ago and haven't got any feedback yet.

Definitely call Klaus on the phone - he is very busy but always answers the calls. I have gotten email from him at 3am which shows how busy he is. As for the Stratos, I recently went from a Primare A10 to the Stratos and the difference is huge. I hear no "background noise". Feel free to email with questions.

My Stratos is dead quiet also. No problems, and great
sound! The above posts are right, Klaus is a busy guy.
He won't answer my e-mails, but he called me at home one
night at 9:30 PM to discuss his Tempest pre-amp! I've been
waiting to read some reviews on this pre-amp, but I guess
there's not enough of them out there yet. The Stratos
is five stars all the way!

There was a recent review of the Stratos Odyssey (vs. a Rotel model (1095?) and a B&K) in one of the spring issues of TAS. I was reading it again last week, and the Odyssey got very favorable comments from the reviewer.
