Jason,

This sweet slightly tubey class A amp you speak of going in a Vidar chassis, (we'll dub it "VidAr ClAssic"), it is a stereo amp? Or mono block or configurable as a mono block?

It will be a fantastic option.

Just another vote here for the low-power class-A amp!

I vote for the Washington DC area... specifically Silver Spring, Maryland

Come down to Sarasota! World's favorite beach at Siesta Key and I'll work for minimum wage and no bennies 30 hours a week (and in Florida, that means FEDERAL min wage and no bennies means I pay you for processing my time cards!)

Adding my support for this potential future product as well.

Serious question for those interested in the potential 25W class A amp: what does this do for you that the current Vidar does not, other than support for high output into 4 ohm speakers?

They can double as space heaters.

Let me compare Vidar to my recently refurbished Pioneer M-22 30 watt all Class A amp from the late 70’s.

The only place Vidar comes close in sound quality is bass. And even that is not really all that close. The Pioneer kills it in midrange and highs. There is more depth to the music. The soundstage is more defined. There is more detail and clarity yet still sounds more musical.

I would hope that Jason would get a quality Class A amp to compare his design to so he can make it sound as great. If Schiit could make a Class A amp that sounded as good as the Pioneer M-22 for $1200 or less, they would sell all they could make!

Yes please.

Well of course there are record turntable sales... what other kind of turntables are there?

 

[shultzee]

Class A Amp for me too!

Vidar may not officially support 4 ohm mono, however in my experience it does an awesome job of it!

 

[yonson]

I also would be all for the Vidar sized Class A amp!

"What about a 25W class A amp in a Vidar chassis that does 200W into 4 ohms mono"

Yes, Please.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone here (and your cats). I hope you all have joy in your hearts and music under the tree.

Thanks to the folks at Schiit for the enjoyment and sanity your product brings to me throughout the year.
