Love my Saga, especially in tube buffer mode. Love the relay attenuator, as well.Which Saga? Old one or one of the new + one? Do you miss not having Balanced out? I looked at Saga+, but I'm worried i'd like to upgrade to schiit monoblocks and it looks like you can't do that unless you use balanced.
Schiit Freya + Aegir vs Rega Elex-R
Hi Folks,
I'm looking to upgrade from my Marantz PM5005 and my budget is around 1600$. I think I've narrowed it down to two options. Going for separates from Schiit or staying with integrated and going with Rega Elex-R. My two main sources are a Rega 3 turntable, and a Marantz SA-8005 SACD player. Speakers are Dali Zensor 7s. I like them a lot, so not looking to upgrade those for a while. Nice thing about the Rega is the built in phono stage. But getting a Schiit phono preamp is fine too. Schiit has room to grow, to move to aegir monoblocks if i upgrade speakers and want more power. Anyway, has anyone listened to either of these setups? Any opinions about separates vs integrateds at this price point? I'm going to check in with local rega dealers to see if they have Elex-R available to audition. Thanks!
