Is this amplifier a dual mono design?

Hi,

If you read between the lines it indicates that both the khartago and stratos stereo amplifiers only use one transformer.  Odyssey used to sell a dual mono stratos but that was quite a few years ago. Its unlikely that Klaus could option the cyclops was a dual mono due to the size of chassis.

I hope this assists.

Yeah, when they modified my Adcom 555 they stacked one transformer on top of the other.
