Gotta love 80/20 extruded T-Slot-

Interesting that you have a Saga in between the Lyr 3 and Bifrost 2. Is it just to control volume via remote?

Correct. Works great for that. It also allows me to send the signal from the BF2 to both the Lyr 3 and the WA6-SE at the same time (2 pre outs).

Nice. So you just set the volume on the Lyr 3 and WA6-SE so that you have a wide volume range on the Saga?

There’s a review of the Folkvangr up on another audio forum. I don’t think I’m allowed to post a link but Google “Schiit Folkvangr review” and it should pop up.

The reviewer’s opinion is that it’s a great amp, comparable in magic to a DNA starlet ($2000) and Ampandsound Ovation ($4200?). He also ranks it better than some pretty expensive grail amps like the Woo WA5 ($6500).

Yup and I can volume match if I want to compare two amps.

Super. This is some best info.
Thanks Audio Friend.

Just received an email from Schiit saying my FV is shipping...already! If I believe what FedEx says, I'll have it next Tuesday. Those guys and gals in Newhall have their schiit together! I wonder if Production has shifted over to all Folkvangr to quell the demand?

What was the promised lead time when you ordered and what color?

Not a glamor shot, but this just arrived on my doorstep. Hopefully I'll have some time later today to unbox and try it out.

7-10 days. Seems like it changed right when I decided to order, which was Tuesday morning. And black - like my soul!

The packing tape looks awesome. I'm assuming they have a similar one for Texas.

Mine just moved to shipped status. That is very good news as I am out of town in July except for next week and the thought of an unopened and unheard Folkvangr sitting outside my office door for 3 weeks was going to drive me batty.
