| Crown vs Vidar A forty + year old amp will soon starting having issues if it doesn't already. The capacitors alone should be replaced immediately.While I somewhat agree with the above sentiment that SS amplification has already reached sonic nirvana, that kind ... | |
| Trying to get a general idea of SQ hierarchy for combo pre/DAC vs separate boxes I have to chime in here, as I’ve owned 2 Schiit pre’s with the relay volume feature. I’m not sure what a “driller” is or what one sounds like, though I own a few drills. I can emphatically say that Schiit’s volume design is not a loud intrusive no... | |
| Emotiva xpa 2 gen 2 power amp I thought the current XPA line had some kind of switching supply? | |
| ?Morrow or ZenWave Power and interconnects? The OP doesn’t say, so just to touch on a fundamental, every component in the system should have an upgraded power cord for best results. That said, since he mentioned a neutral to warm sound, I’m not sure Morrow is the right option. I’ve got so... | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? No offence to Rockrider, but I concur on his speakers being the limiting factor. I’ve got a Schiit Vidar, and am amply impressed with the the, uh, amp.I’ve read some owner’s opinions of the Aegir on SBAF forum, and there is a consensus that it be... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Interesting that people are comparing the Gungnir to DACs costing twice as much. | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp Doesn’t Odyssey recommend a really long break in time on their amps? I’m going by memory here, I thought I’d read that somewhere. Ive got the Vidar and have become really impressed with it. It’s clearly superior to the Adcom amp it replaced as ... | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? Mcreyn, I'm guessing that you posted that with a straight face. The Adcom GFP 750 is the best pre that Adcom ever released, and is legendary. It goes used for about what the Freya sells for new. That said, you provided none of the details aroun... | |
| Tekton tweeter design Snapsc, most people would agree that talk is cheap. For example, it’s easy to say that the looks of his speakers could be improved, etc. It’s quite another thing to actually do anything about those very plain looks,My comment was in part an obse... | |
| Tekton tweeter design On the ugly comment, I'm surprised they haven't done something about the looks by now. It could be a real money maker to upgrade all of the cabinets with curved sides, magnetic grills or even some nice wood grain finishes. The woofers seem to be... | |
| Adcom GFP-710 to Schiit Freya - upgrade? I've owned some Adcom pieces, and one of their pre's from about 2007. I've read a lot of owner's comments on Adcom pre's as a result. Most pan the later Adcom stuff. I know that I had issues with mine.These days I'm running a Schiit Saga and af... | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! Clearthink, try not to stoop to bigotry. Surely in this forum I should think there’s room for Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Christians and such without people taking shots at their various holy men. | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? Exactly, Wolf. They make products that have some of the best performance per buck out there. They have discrete circuitry at a price level unheard of previously. They may not use boutique brand parts, but that just means they pass on the saving... | |
| Schitt turntable anyone? You are free to go against conventional wisdom of course. That is why there are marginal products of every kind, to suit people who must be different.That’s pretty funny, conventional wisdom that is. It’s conventional wisdom that has seen the... | |
| Parasound service problems Gdnrbob, the op has been having an email conversation with Phil Jackson, so yes they have been answering their emails.i concur that a dealer is the best way to do this, that’s what they’re there for. To bad about the jc though, hopefully it isn’... |
