Odyssey Extreme Mono Amps

Hi there,

I am looking to purchase amps (separates). When I go to showrooms
and test other hi end amps by raising the volume (source is off)
I here an annoying humming out of the speakers, for me very disturbing.

Extremely few amps didn't do this. Considering pre-amp is quiet.

I'm thinking in the near future to order Odyssey extreme mono amps,
do they exhibit this annoying humming noise or are they quiet
(free of humming noise).

Currently I have a modwright SWL 9.0se Pre-amp. QUIET.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I second what rosconey says. Mine works great and with my new loreleis it is indeed music to my ears... I would suggest using a dedicated AC outlets for your amps and don't use a suppressor but plug directly into the wall.

Well, to be honest here, some systems with our amps do give you a bit of buzz, which is AC derived. That is actually normal for 90 % of all systems, but it should only be audible through the tweeter up to maybe 5-10 inches, where it never interferes with the music or becomes a bother.
Any amp manufacturer making a different claim, well....
