I think its the case of keeping the cost and number of iterations under control...but do understand the desire for silver and or black...

By any chance, are you a resident of Oakland Los Angeles Oakland Las Vegas?

I'm ready for you to make me a balanced cable for my HD58X...

Anyone else notice that Freya+ preamps are backordered well into October?

Jason Stoddard mentioned elsewhere that the Freya+ is pretty popular and they are having trouble keeping them in stock.

Wow! They were back-ordered for a long time before this. I was looking for one in June, and they were back-ordered until July 7. I placed my order on July 6, and they extended the back-order until August 7. Fortunately, mine arrived August 9 and they are already on back-order again!

Shoot me a PM, you picking up the Magnius? Looks to be a sweet little measurement based amp.

No joke. Don't like people being compared to black shiit.

My current setup is Modi 3-> Magni 3 -> Powered subwoofer -> Vidar. Right now I have it all on one power strip that I just turn on and off when I want to use stuff. Headphones plug in and speakers turn off.

I'm upgrading to Modius and Magnius and it sounds like I'll have to make some changes. Preamp outs are always on, even when headphones are plugged in, so I guess I need a separate power strip for the Vidar and subwoofer that I can turn off when headphone listening.

Random questions (that might be dumb) which are mostly related to my endgame idea of using two Vidar for balanced everything.

1) Does the SE output work when using balanced input? I'm a while away from using two Vidar for fully balanced everything but will probably grab some xlr cables to connect Modius and Magnius in the meantime if it'll work.
2) Do the balanced and SE preamp outputs work simultaneously? The only way I can think to reasonably connect a powered subwoofer into a balanced system is to use the SE outs for the sub and balanced outputs for two Vidar.

Yep, we're having a terrible time trying to keep up with them. They're a complex product, and even with upsized runs, we're unable to meet demand. If you want one, best to order and be patient. We're trying to move things along more quickly, but we can't do it at the cost of quality.

Yep, SE output works with balanced input, balanced output works with SE input, etc. And everything is on simultaneously.

I was excited to get my Bifrost 2 in black even though my Jot is silver. In my opinion the contrast looks really nice.

 

[Alexnova]

Amazing how much demand there is for Freya+.

"1000x lower" = "X * .001"

It's not that it's not understood.
It's not that it's easier to write
It's not that it's easier to say
It's just not right damn it!

 

[ev666il]

How would you express the same concept in correct terms?

Thanks for commenting, @Jason Stoddard. I *do* want one -- badly -- but my wife strongly prefers it ("...and all the other Schiit you want to have in plain sight") to be black. I gather you probably know firsthand how that decision tree works.

I was speculating the long lead times might be about the supply chain for tubes, which are kinda a critical component. Cheers!

What the hell!!?? Is that a volume knob with a visible dot??

please tell me they’re not considering moving the power switch to a convenient location
