** SOLD **
No need for introduction on HF -- the Schiit FV is Among the finest OTL headphones ever built, and the most expensive amps ever sold by Schiit Audio, with a distinctive OTC/OTL topology and production strictly limited to 250 units. The Folkvangr drives both high and low-Z phones alike with its innovative impedance multiplier switch, while providing astonishing musicality across a wide variety of headphone designs. From the OG Schiit presser:
"Folkvangr offers a switchable impedance multiplier—an electronic circuit that operates similar to a transformer. Stoddard emphasizes this is "not a buffer, it's output is in parallel with the tube stage, and has the same distortion profile." The impedance multiplier makes 32 ohm headphones look like 256 ohm headphones to the amp, which is a much better load for tubes. The impedance multiplier is also completely switchable out of the circuit, so owners can choose to use only tubes.
Folkvangr also features an oversized, 400VA transformer and discrete-regulated high-voltage rails at +/-100V and +200V. Coupled with over 10,000uF of filter capacitance (yes, on a tube amp), Folkvangr is truly overbuilt."
Mine is in the preferred black/silver finish, 115v and is in mint condition. It was purchased directly by me from SA in 2022 and has seen relatively little use due to travel and a move overseas. It will ship insured at buyer's cost with its OEM packaging, tube complement, unused power cord and additional NOS power and input tubes.
These amps went fast and are thin on the ground. Asking is 2395.00. No trades at this time please. I do not respond to lowball offers.
