This thread goes so fast, it’s tough to tell whether this is asked and answered:

Now that Schiit is no longer all-discrete, all the time, are we going to see the Jotunheim or the Mjolnir get a Heresy treatment? I don’t know when it happened, exactly, but it seems like the world went topsy-turvy, and all the very quietest amps on the market are using some feedforward opamp setup or other.

Never said where the couch would be located.

Depending on one's income, $20,000 speakers might spur a divorce.

It all depends upon your personal priorities.

Jason...

So do you still have that "vette"?

Here is my "66" Stingray Coupe!



Unfortunately I dont have it anymore....but it got me my beautiful wife of 50+ years, many years ago...4:56 rear end, headers, 500+ hp and never lost a drag race...

My original "LYR"...

I'm waiting for mine to be built.........

I just noticed Saga S isnt listed anymore on the website, it lost the thunderdome?
Anyway, one question guys, a shelf with 15 cm high, is enough for Freya +, or it need more space to breathe? same question for ragnarok 2.

thanks

what happens if the divorce court awards you just one speaker?

Trade her the speaker for the car.

I think the Saga S and Freya S both lost in the thunderdome to their tubed counterparts, Saga+ and Freya+, respectively. Jason mentioned something about accidentally re-ordering additional parts for some preamps that are selling slower than they hoped.

Try playing some Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. ELP turned me onto classical. I still listen to Aaron Copland because of my early love of ELP and prog rock. Plus, it presents classical music with a beat, which makes it easier for non-classical listeners to swallow.

Or go even earlier and listen to "America" by the Nice.

A Trabant is only fast if it is being dropped from an airplane.

Didn't Top Gear do that?

I miss the era in which cars were really distinctive-looking. I will even take the 80s boxy designs over the shapeless curve-fest we have now. If you are going to do curves, you got to do them properly, like my favourite European non-supercar of all time, Citroen DS.

I had the model after that, kindly christened by my "friends" farting Nell as the hydraulics settled after being switched off.

Great car!

Yep, here it is with Eddie's coupe...

Looks like the car in the front has two dashboard locations and you can change location of controlling parts to the passengers seat.
That must be extremely convenient if you have custom chairs but two riders.

I don't have any inside information to the sales at Schiit, but from my standpoint, Saga S always seemed like the most likely candidate to lose out. Saga OG was already a great SE preamp. If money was an issue and someone only needed SE inputs/outputs, finding a used Saga OG would be a bargain and a great choice.

There was a review that was done after a bunch of people listened to all four of the new preamps in a blind listening test. I think the results were 1 vote for Saga+, 2 votes for Freya S, 3 votes for Freya+. I have seen lots of people on another site who are very happy with the Freya S, but I don't think anyone would have expected Freya S to outsell Freya+, unless reviewers ended up absolutely raving about Freya S.

I have a Freya OG in my system now, have a used Freya S arriving possibly tomorrow, and have ordered a Freya+ (on backorder). I'm going to compare them and have some other people over to compare them as well.

Or the couch...

Just curious if anyone has tried any Schiit in a car.

I did. Got my face slapped
