Anybody know if this is a Stratos or Khartago monoblock?

It has huge Symphonic line Caps in it. I would venture to guess that at least internally it is a Odyssey Kismet circuit  :scratch:

A forum member just told me its a Stratos but without the additional 60,000auf memory bank. Unless there were different values for the caps 3 or so years ago.

Looks like a Stratos to me to based on the height of the case.

The cases are Stratos but what threw me off was the number of caps next to the transformer. All the pics I've seen of the Stratos have 8 caps in a monoblock.

Like Bunky said, those are much larger caps in your photo than on the website photo. Amps may have been upgraded at some point.  If you can give Klaus the serial numbers he should be able to tell you.

But the board looks black in the picture, so it looks closer to a kismet.

Early pair of Kismets in Stratos cases.............8 caps are only for Stratos Extremes.....
early meaning that it doesn't have the full 100 % complement of all Kismet parts of the last year, but is 90 + % there....
