Hifonics ODIN VI and Hifonics CYCLOPS VI

[seankane]

Hello.

I have acquired these amp off CL list today. They were used as a pair, the Cyclops has a high pass output for the other amp to run off of.

The odin is a 150watt 2 channel and the Cyclops is a 100watt mono amp. They are in very nice condition and from the original owner.

Just wondering if anyone could tell me what year these were made, I can find owners manuals all day but cant find a timeline that these were produced. I have no clue what the value would be either.

I would appreciate all input. Thanks.

I want to say it was 85 or 86. The series vii were selling in 87.

Well than I would say in very good condition these are for that age.

Does anyone know if these amps were reliable or problematic?

The square rectifiers bolted to the center of the heatsinks failed. The capacitors also leaked. Like many amps that use the vertical RCA jacks, the RCA shield ground would break.

Ditto, just like Perry said....
