My Fav Topic. I have posted this sometime ago but will try my luck once again.

REQUEST for AC Re-generator from Schiit. Power rating 1kW or 2kW.

110V @60Hz / 230V 50Hz -> DC (Storage/Huge Cap etc) -> 110V @60Hz / 230V 50Hz. Flexibility of user switchable.
I keep buying products in USA (Save on cost and time) and I would like like this AC regenerator to be able to take in 230V @50Hz -> 110V @60Hz so that I can use products purchased in USA.

I also would like to buy used equipment from US portals which are 110V @60hz, this flexible AC Re-generator will come in huge handy.

Thanks in advance!

... And yes i forgot to ask (again), next generation Vidar dedicated MONO only with minimum 250W or more please. I backed out of 2x Vidar for the scare of use them in Bridged mono (my own schiit theory of not to operate in bridged mono whatever ... )

Your "theory" is incorrect.

Your "theory" is incorrect.

... and demonstrates a misunderstanding about how amplifiers work.

My advise to home users: if a manufacturer has designed something to be used in a certain way, it is OK and proper for you to use it that way.

Ooohh.... This schiit is ugly...
It's almost modern art.

It's not ugly. It's functional, in the best engineering sense.

Ahum.... Yes, that's what I meant.

Hey Jason,

How about a retail version of Dave's power supply...

I like modern art but this makes me want to poke out my eyeballs. There is functional(like Schiit with screws)and there is just plain hideous.
Being an engineer is not a valid excuse for not caring about how the world around you looks and feels. It`s sad that a lot of engineers see ~not caring about looks~as some badge of honour.
Design should always be part of engineering. Not caring is ugly.

This is Perfect Jason!. Thanks for telling me that my thought about "bridged-mono operation could be problematic", is wrong.

Jason,
I live in the cold state of Illinois. I need a Schiit 30W pure class A amp to help heat the house. Something similar to this beauty http://www.thevintageknob.org/pioneer-M-22.html.

The Pioneer M-22 is the original power amplifier from the Series 20 : old style Class A with no circuit trickery or audiophile touches - except where it really counts : power transformers, capacitors, resistors, chassis and ground paths.
The M-22 is a sound bolid.

"Open-guts" style with massive diecast heatsinks and chassis, four 33,000µF caps, full dual-mono layout.
If you don't mind having loudspeaker cables running in front of your rig... not very tidy.

But if you have an M-22 just for its sound qualities... all's fine : good-looking box that acts as room-heater on the side and ultimately makes wonderful music.

Thank you.

I'll make an enclosure for it that doesn't hurt the eyes.

Thanks for sharing this link. I would quickly pick them up for my home country use. Maybe pick couple of them for now. Best part is i also found exact plug type for use in India.

My concern is the freq input. 230V @ 50Hz and output will still be 110V 50Hz. Will this affect lets say example, Freya with input 110V, @60Hz. Is there any heat generation in either the Transformer (converter) or the one inside Freya? Or I m told (Happy to be wrong ) that there will be some hum noise in the system which could affect the SQ and also transformer inside the Freya (or any other equipment ).

Thanks,

Which, by the way, reminds me of a certain audio company's attitude about "audiophile sculpture."

The lower frequency lowers the music to Verdi pitch

All the transformers in all our products are rated for 50/60Hz, so no worries.
