Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Sep 27, 2023 at 8:10 PM Post #127,264 of 155,074
Happy new Schiit day everyone, what're our guesses for the product teasers in the livestream/meetup tonight?
A new phono preamp or turntable, just based on what Jason has mentioned recently.

I've been considering an upgrade to my current Audio Technica... I have a feeling I will be departing with hard earned disposable income soon.

Hey all, I know everyone is probably focused on the Schiit preview tonight but I am still trying to dial in my Schiit pre-amp/amplifier pairing for Zu Audio DW6 speakers (high-efficiency, semi-concentric driver, 12-ohm load). What is everyone's thoughts on the difference in sonic character, or flavor, between a Kara driving an Aegir vs. a Ragnarok 2 integrated? [There's a black Just an Amp in B-Stock right now.]

My assumption is that the Kara/Aegir combo would be a bit richer and maybe more tube-like and the Rag2 would be a little more precise and analytical and clear. Does that sound right? I think my preference would be towards the former but I don't know how critical that is for me yet on my audiophile journey.

If it were me and you don't mind multiple boxes I would go with Kara/Aegir. You could also add a second Aegir later on,

This is a first build of a Swedish fishing knife and not up to my standards so it is going to a handyman working for me. Once I improve the process I may build other versions.
But if it's made in the USA, how is it a Swedish knife?

Wait....you didn't move without telling us did you? :laughing:

You guys are really killing the vibe with your dac talk. Can we please get back to canned meats and mispronounced city names? :relaxed:
OK.

Since nobody has brought it up:

Back in college days you could get 10 cans for $1. Of course, $1 was a crapload of money when *I* was in college. 🤣

They know about fish, maybe you know about fish sticks when your wife defrosts them. 🤪🤪 Listen to some ABBA or something you human paraquat.🤣🤣🤣
