Mine is a lowly CBS Hytron 6SN7 GTA, but it sure sounds nice! Someday, once the kids grow up, I hope I can afford what will be left of the more rarified NOS tubes out there -- if only out of curiosity as to how they sound! I'll add, though, that one of the things I like about the Saga is that...

When I first received my vanilla Saga, I tube rolled a bit (I don't have much spare cash to spend on such things, so I was getting inexpensive used tubes off of ebay). Of the tubes I tried, I found a surprisingly large delta between tubes through our 2-channel speaker set up. Luckily, I...

For those who haven't heard the Sagas, I absolutely love mine. I am listening to it now as i write this. I hope you don't kill the Saga+. I couldn't have afforded the Freya and still can't. But the Saga was just within reach and provides just enough bloom to add a wonderful dimensional character...

Hi Rensek, so sorry to not reply in a timely manner - I mostly browse without logging in and, due to having to deal with some family issues, have been preoccupied with other things. You are correct in how I have things hooked up. Putting the Sys inline between the Saga and our kitchen amp...

Hi Rensek, I actually use a Saga in conjunction with a Sys and am quite happy with the results. In my case, so far I only use two of the inputs on the Saga (a DAC and a turntable through a phono preamp) and I use the outputs to drive a speaker system in our living room and another one in our...

@Jason Stoddard and @Baldr , I'm hoping that the wildfire approaching Santa Clarita doesn't affect you or any of your staff or your families. Stay safe and out of the way, if at all possible! All the best. A good friend & colleague of my wife has already had to evacuate in Ventura to get...

Yay! I, for one, will be really interested in this when you launch as it's the only way I can afford your products at the moment... I'm sure that there are lots of folks who would like to help clear out your backlog and cosmetics are far less important to me than sound.

  This, to me, is the key in the latest MQA announcements and is great news.  And it probably speaks to how much response Meridian got from DAC manufacturers (i.e., not enough to go on insisting on hardware-based decoding).   If the move is now to software-based decoding (via Tidal app, Roon...

    Of course, there are always exceptions, especially with a large corporation...

Baldr's trumpet?   (sorry, back in my box now.  Those of you w/kids ~6-10 years old should recognize it, though...)   And Jason's harp...  

    I'll bet that they worked their tails off in the run up to Christmas.  Hope they are getting a break now...

An amazing album from an artist cut short in her prime. Through the Schiit Saga with a CBS Hytron 6SN7GTA, it is sublime.        

[Edited...]    Sorry, more appropriately posted here

  Not to mention often more expensive...

I don't get what you mean.  Freya and Saga have plenty of inputs (five SE inputs on Saga and 3 SE + 2 balanced on Freya).
