Herr Klaus sent my Stratos via UPS to Vermont, then my Mom sent it as her luggage with Delta to Atlanta then on to Santiago, Chile! After claiming it in Santiago, I plugged it in and...voila...impecable. No problem!
I even saw that it was "frisked, felt up, and maybe even violated "by Homeland Security!
I guess I shouldn't have declared it a "nuclear-powered amplifier, with a half-life of 20 years"!
Klaus even called me after break-in to answer some of my questions about voltage problems...great customer care.
Moral of my story: 1) Trust in Odyssey 2) Cross your fingers, pray AND point towards Mecca that UPS and the airlines won't screw it up!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Cheers!
