Since there’s some discussion of possible future products going on, let me ask: any chance of a 230v Cthulhu ?

I take it you are in Western Brazil?

"Biased into Class A" is a misnomor. Let's look at Jason's Class A debunking post one more time:

Interesting. Let's look at this post

what about a 25W class A amp in a Vidar chassis that does 200W into 4 ohms mono

You all know what all this chatter about 25w Class A amps that don't exist yet means, don't you? It means Jason will remember his own early advice and stop discussing product ideas on the Internet until they are actual products and he is ready to launch them.

You ran the Vidars with a C4?! Interesting. I have a feeling I'm going to get a chance to hear the Vidars soon, perhaps on my system. Will they be competition for my beloved XPA-1 amps? Honestly, I'd be very surprised if they were - in my setup. Nothing sticks out in it that gives me an indication otherwise. But I have been wrong before. The proof in the pudding is listening! I think the Vidars chassis however looks fantastic and I like the size. The JC-1's also look interesting. Thanks for the impressions.

Yeah I've been running my C4's (as well as an Evidence center) with a trio of Vidar for quite a while now. According to Sir Stoddard they are capable of 600 watts in 4 ohm mono, and I have yet to be able to send them into thermal shutdown (I have tried on a few occasions). They are definitely worth a listen...

It's better than pages and pages of cat pictures.

At least it shows there's enthusiasim and interest, which I think is a good thing (and is actually discussion about Schiit). People just need to keep it in mind, like Jason said, it's still vapor at this point - there is no product yet (or maybe ever).

I think it may depend on if Jason considers cats to be purr Class A or not. Seeing as how it's his thread, and I don't recall him ever mentioning that cats are unamusing Class D....

I'm not seeing mention of Vali 2 in that chapter...

You will find mention of the Magni 3 knob in the Magni 3 chapter, however, since you were asking about that.

 

[RCBinTN]

I must say...that is the first time I've seen Jason ask that an amplifier discussion be moved to PM.

And, I am sure that y'all heard MJ was deemed legal today in the great state of California.
Perhaps the tone of this thread will bend towards the mellow side.

Well, it doesn’t take much to be better than cat pictures...

Actually if you re-read my question, you will see I was asking if they will switch the Vali 2 to use the same knob as the Magni 3 - the Vali 2 knob is ugly IMO, and figured since the M3 knob is cheaper (as per the chapter on the M3) they might be planning to switch it, if they haven't already. Anyhow its just a volume knob, no biggie.

In the Magni 3 chapter, he mentions that they went cheaper on its knob to keep it under 100. One person's beauty is another manufacturer's not-so-attractive.

I am loving my EITR into Gumby from my MicroRendu. Great combination for anyone interested.

I agree, I have the same. Although I also have Gen 5 board as well in my Gumby and it might have a very (and I mean very) slight edge. But of course much less versatile since it's tied to that 1 device.
