Not the first ever, but probably the first commercial one.
Mjolnir is already SS; creating another SS statement amp so soon will likely cannibalize sales from it.
Who knows how many owners will actually send a unit back to swap between tube & SS? I'd rather Schitt spends their resources optimizing SQ
Jason just ignore the Bryston troll... I don't think anyone is taking him seriously. Wow talk about trying your best to shill for one company. He's obviously jealous of all the attention Schitt is getting and record breaking profits/sales that have occured in the last couple of years. I don't see too many threads filled with excited chatter over Bryston products, while Schitt has so many threads it's hard to keep up.
Well, I think that making an SS version of the statement amp does make sense.
Relay-switched stepped volume control makes a significant technical upgrade, as each relay is matched. And I don't think it's the only upgrade that is gonna come.
I'm not American, but Made in the USA means know-how.
...As for French wines, Russian dancers, Italian shoes, Japanese samurai swords or whatever else has been made in the same wherever since centuries ago.
Never underestimate know-how. Each crafter has secrets he would tell no-one. Secrets that come by generations of experience.
Chinese producers don't want do s..w you, it's just that s..t they couldn't foresee, happens.
The chinese have know-how falling out their butts.
To be honest none of us know what either the BHA-1 or the Mjolnir will sound like as of yet. Nobody will know what either of these amps sounds like for a long time. There is no real point speculating which of these would sound better due to these reasons.
+1 For all we know the MJOLNIR will be huge flop. I don't know enough about Bryston to say whether they're awesome or not, maybe they are. Just find it annoying when someone comes to a Schitt thread and starts bashing the company and the entire line and starts proclaiming the unfathomable superiority of a Bryston product that hasn't even been released. I think the prices alone say they're not direct competitors. Now if somebody wanted to post a specific grievance about Schitt or their products that's great, fantastic, but I find it annoying when someone kicks them around for being a young company that offers cheaper products, as if those two things make it impossible they could offer excellent value/quality.
Just to remind you of world history....
The chinese were making sophisticated tools, building a wall that can be seen from space, creating music and art, and navigating much of the globe since before America (as white people define it at least) even existed.

We live in a global society and with the internet and the number of people studying abroad I should think that we've moved past nationalistic rhetoric.
Some of the best products in the world are made in China. They also make some cheap junk. Some products made in the US (or insert country name here _______ ) are excellent. Some are complete junk. It's all the same.

I want to know what is wrong with Swiss lovers? Isn't either Inga or Helga Swiss? Don't tell me I have been dreaming of pretty Swiss girls for nothing!
