40 Watts... it's on the Schiit website, http://schiit.com/products/

Like I said earlier, an amplifier is an amplifier.  All audio amplifiers are power amplifiers.  A pre-amplifier or preamp controls signals at line level and does not have sufficient output to drive loudspeakers, although they sometimes have headphone power amplifiers built into them.  A specialized type of power amplifier that also contains preamp functions is called an integrated amplifier.  An integrated amplifier that also contains tuner functions is called a receiver. 
 
All audio systems from a transistor radio to a multi-million dollar high-end setup consist of a source, a preamplifier and a power amplifier, driving some sort of output transducer like loudspeakers or headphones.  These functions can each be separate (and indeed can have multiple components for each main function) or they can be contained all in one box.

​40 watts at 120 volts means it consumes about 1/3 of an amp.

Yep. thanks.I just got mail from Schiit saying something similar.
 
I was asking because I have a conditioner protection strip limited to 10 amps and I already have several devices plugged into it, including a serious power amp. Obviously at low amps not an issue. Just wanted to make sure.

Shipping confirmation received...happy days ahead!

I look forward to auditioning Yggy+Freya+Vidar and seeing how it compares to a much more expensive NAIM setup.

 
Having heard the set-up at RMAF, I am of the opinion that the 2-channel Schiit Kit will equal or better the performance of a lot of gear costing a lot more money. I am curious to see if "old school" 2 channel folks will be able to get past their biases regarding price, fancy casework, name brands, and so forth, and be able to truly hear the performance of this gear regardless of price point.

Got my shipping confirmation also. Now the long trip to Florida

Amps depends on your mains voltage (here it is 230 Volts). I don't see your location disclosed.
Use Ohm's law:  Amps = Watts / Volts.

Can anyone help me on finding the portion where Jason writes about not releasing product details until the product is complete?

And all cars are racing cars, but some are not very fast and don't handle too well, but you can race them.
 
There are generally accepted meanings in context - in domestic stereo (or 2 channel as it seems to be now) typically a power amp accepts line inputs and has outputs for loudspeakers and fixed voltage gain. 
 
N.B. by "loudspeakers" I don't mean people with a high verbal SPL.

He has talked about that several times, here's one of them...

The best one is in chapter 2015-7. He really gets animated, and I respect that.

yours beat mine by 1 minute- at 2:15pm EST I got the notification. Tennessee is closer to California than South Carolina is so I have hope that mine might still beat yours to the door LOL jk

Ok, who will be the fist tor...?

Dunno. Does a costume come with the job?
