Actually thinking back on it guys when I heard the Schiit RMAF system one speaker was cutting out and one of the guys fixed it. He said it was a prototype and needed new firmware. I did not connect the dots until now. They must have been new amps but looked just like Vidars. I thought they sounded nice. Going to go back and check again today.

Please ask for a flyer/handout and post it here.

That was not a hint lol, I have to build some test equipment, amps are maybe third and fourth on my list right now.


During the week I need to extend my wifi signal so I am thinking through some of that, I need to be able to go 100 yards in a few directions to cover my property as i wish. I am also looking into becoming a sponsor here, but I need to do some prep work before that happens.

You could use a Yagi from your house to an AP further out on the property. I once had to setup a P2P to extend a Nortel system between two buildings ~ 300yds apart. The Yagi was the only way to get a reliable connection over that distance. The AP would provide coverage for the area.

Has anyone had much experience with outside wifi antennas? I need to extend my signal about 300 feet and have a pretty clear line of site. I am running an Asus dual band router at this time. This is for music as well as telescope computer.

These guys seem to have the gear.

Please ask for more specs

I use this one

I have a smaller yard than you however

Thanks for the reply Kosh and i will certainly consider that once I read up on it a bit.

My son uses Ubiquiti in his house and swears by it, I will keep that in mind.

Fortunately I will be coming out of the rear of my house close to where fiber optic enters and my router is located and it would be easy enough to do a yagi. At least for me cable, RP or standard connectors of most any type are things I work with so setting up an antenna is not hard. Thanks for taking the time guys!

Interesting, and ten watts in class A may be quite enough for my purposes with the speakers I have in mind.

What I use, Ubiquiti UniFi AP and Ubiquiti EdgeRouter router. Require a bit of upkeep (firmware upgrades) but they work beautifully, much better than the consumer-grade !@#%? I used before.

So a amp as awesome as this should be needs a full on God name.

Everyone is gonna say Odin, but too obvious maybe?
Thor seems to have some copyright issues
Mike's already got @Baldr , so that would be confusing.

Heimdall
His hearing is so accurate that no sound escapes him: he can even hear the grass grow or the wool on a sheep's back.

Thanks. Are you able to pass me the link? I’d like to follow the conversation granted that its in a forum.

Sounds like a winner. I look forward to hearing it.

How can a proper name have copy write issues? What about those individuals over the centuries and living whose first name is Thor?

I have to say 10 watts per channel in Class A is quite impressive in a Vidar sized Chassis! Vidar is less than half the size of my Parasound JC-1's (monoblock) that are only 25 walls in Class A...

Aegir isn't even a god name.

But Aegir does make much sense.

Aegir (Old Norse “Ægir”) is a giant with white hair and a long beard, he is well skilled in the arts of magic. He might be a brother to Loki the trickster and Karl.
Aegir is married to his sister Ran

 

[yonson]

Yeah, definitely didn't expect it to be named that..

Maybe it will become a contraction, Aggy or some such.

I had to stop in my efforts today to check out some tubes a southern gentleman on here sent me. Maybe late tonight I will plug some into a Lyr 2 but right now I am comparing a Westinghouse tube to others in my collection, one can never have enough tubes.
