I have loved and respected my Torii MKIII since 2012! However, some years ago I was worried about ongoing availability and pricing of tubes, so I bought an Odyssey Stratos sand amp. Though biased as tube-like as possible, it was very coarse until break-in, couldn't stand it for more than an hour at a time. What could have been done in 1 or 2 months took 6... I used the Stratos for a couple of years until last October when a speaker cable spade came loose and resulted in loud short or worse... Thank God for my Torii!! 2 new 6922 tubes and 12 gauge speaker cable with locking banana plugs and it sounds great!! The Torii tubes might have handled the short better... My youngest daughter lives with me and is working from home now so I listen with headphones most of the time until her office opens back up.
