What in Judas Priest am I looking at?! That. Is. Sniff. Beautiful.

.......Thank you Master bcowen. :ksc75smile:

I swear if @bcowen is as thorough with his record cleaning as he is with his tube preparation before he plugs them in, I do not want to be around for that process. I believe the druids had fewer rituals. I believe the man never leaves the house except to buy more cleaning supplies. :ksc75smile:

Nice to be included in something for a change. I'm in the 18 - 65+ group. :relaxed:
I'm actually pleased to see the 20-40 range more popular than me. Um, ~7% users that identify as female. Not so much. :triportsad: When I was in teacher-college (all hail the glass tower of knowledge, OISE-UT), our pedagogues claim that girls hearing (in a classroom setting at least) was more acute than a mob of teenage boys (I was trained to modulate my volume and tone when speaking to different genders and personalities). My gut instincts tell me young men and women really do seem to communicate differently. Meh, my 2 cents. BTW, the following links give me some hope of possible gender equity in this field (that, and I like signal boosting and adding content to newsgroups):
(a) ...2018 episode from S.G.... showcasing, Margery Budoff ....

(b) Here's also a 2009 CNet article showcasing the confessions of a female audiophile.
(c) Meet, Cynthia. The Audiophiliac-For-The-Day...

(d) ...and Melissa. The Audiophiliac-For-The-Day...

(e) ...my spouse and I hash it out. (Acceptance) > (tollerance), eh...

(f) &&&&& And, Ato gets the last word:

Sincerely (not an ally... more of a collaborator),
ScubaMan.

Again I just need to say a giant thanks to Schiit...those other prices aren't even in the ballpark of the ballpark of the ballpark of prices I can even think of affording. My Aegir monoblocks were pushing the budget as it is. But to be able to have such amazing giant grin-inducing sound quality in our house is truly a wonderful gift. Thank you for putting astounding SQ in reach of the 99%...

Holy cow!

Jason's undercutting everyone :wink:

Seriously that is totally insane that Aegir is in between all of those "down-payment-on-a-house" cost amplifiers.

I know this was the advertisement under Vidar, but LOL some accurate marketing here: "Okay. Let’s blow up this high-end nonsense. Here’s your ultra-high-end amplifier, without the ultra-high-end price. Welcome to the revolution."

I have a Vidar with my speakers, which is plenty, but I have thought about moving the Vidar down to handle lower frequency duties (the Vidar delivers incredible bass) and have an Aegir up top. Wonder if anyone here has done this? It seems most do monoblock configurations though.
