If you open up some of these schiit products and actually understood electronics, you would realize these are equivalent to a 4 cylinder engine packaged In a beautiful muscle car. They're not special, they're just packaged well.
Man I'm convinced. Jason is in full class A goodness when theres a sip or 2 of wine in his system. Lots of great information in this video. Thanks for making it.
Coming back to this after the Rekkr and Gjallarhorn were released, thought I doubt Jason and the others will see the comment. I got my Gjallarhorn today and it is great. I was the one who had posted the question about the smaller size amp. I saw the blog post on Friday night and instantly knew I needed to order one. I then struggled with the 1 Rekkr vs 2 Rekkrs vs 1 Gjallarhorn to replace my Vidar 1. Watt anxiety got the best of me (even though I never got the Magni Heresy in low gain mode up past 25% or so on the Vidar) and I ordered the Gjallarhorn. It's great and now I can leave the volume at about 33% in low gain mode. Maybe I should have gotten 1 or 2 Rekkrs. I just wanted to say thanks for a great amp. My desk space is reclaimed and this seems to run much cooler than the OG Vidar.
I think I can confidently say I'm the only one in Massachusetts, as of now, with a brand new Mjolnir 3 beast of an amp! I'll keep it until I'm gone and then if it's still working my daughter will continue to enjoy it! Thank you Jason!
So much fun listening to you guys! I learned a lot. Glad to see Mike and hear the latest wine reviews from Jason. Always looking forward to new Schiit!
The problem is the cd production, compressed dynamic range. I just got a turntable after my late uncle left me 2000 LP's. They sound so much more dynamic, even though they should not.
@@r423sdex That’s a problem with a lot of new music, the compression is not due to the CD format, it’s fine to make it listenable in poor quality Bluetooth or car stereo speakers.
@@1jhnpennington Nono, you can't master a vinyl *too hot*, which defeats the point of compression (loudness). But if the compression is *already there*, there's nothing stopping you pressing a compressed (not clipped/brickwalled, mind you, but still compressed) signal onto a record. Granted, usually when mastering for vinyl they will use less compression. But sometimes, these days, they don't even master for vinyl. They just RIAA-curve the digital transfer.
I have two Vidars and they sound amazing! Originally I bought one and it was such a huge difference between what I had previously, a class D emotiva 50 watt amp, so I got a second one about a year afterwards. I've got really big Tekton speakers so two Vidars are good for those. I can definitely rattle the foundations if I want, but just get super clean output with good soundstage.
Likewise. I’m running them in mono block mode through a Freya + so everything is balanced all the way down. I’m running some Buchardt s400 mk ii’s and was I was a bit concerned about the 2 ohm rating, but the Vidars handle them like a champ. I seriously considered Tekton as well. Some day I’ll get something bigger.
@@04ddm15 I haven't experienced the Aegirs but they should be able to provide enough power running two. I'd probably go with a pair of Tyrs if at all possible, they're supposed to sound really nice
I used to watch these interviews for Mike's hilarious contributions and comments. Now I feel so sorry for him since obviously he has some health issue(s) causing his virtually lack of comments in this interview. Just goes to show that age, along with various health issues, are going to get the best of all us eventually.
Off topic but I have a Schiit Eitr, and I wish I could have bought it from you guys. Unfortunately you've discontinued it and I'm in the UK so the distribution would've been a nightmare to begin with! It's a great little box, the simplest and most marketable DDC and you guys could've really educated people on the non-snake-oil importance of digital signals from the position of trust you're in. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Class A amps!
I bought and own quite a bit of your products and I can tell you without a doubt and I'm sure I'm not the only person to have ever told you so, but what you really guys really need to do is. number one: a higher end phono stage, and I know that the mani 2 is fantastic and sounds great doing it. I kind of get the impression you guys kind of hinted about it here a little bit or maybe you were hinting at a step up transformer of sorts for like a moving coil using the Nexus stage. number two: a tube power amp, or maybe some sort of hybrid style configuration. you guys have talked about it before and have talked about having built a prototype tube power amp but it would be nice to have that as a functional product. The hybrid style has become quite fashionable over the last decade, with a lot of companies making highly received products that effectively have some sort of tube input stage feeding a solid state output. I know Jason has his thoughts on things when it comes to how things work and how he wants them to work and how a hybrid style power amp would fit into that mentality, I'm not sure, but that would be a fantastic product. oh by the way I know you guys hinted at it but I just ordered a Gjarrarhorn for my bedroom system and I'm so excited to receive it. Heck I may do a video with initial impressions just to get people interested in it.
I have eleven Pieces, 8 metal, 3 black. I also own a Marantz Model 7 tube pre amp which I use . It has the original tubes , labeled Marantz. It sounds great, very natural.
Part of the issue in the wider "Hifi" industry is that from a PR perspective many amp manufacturers will claim to be "Full Class A" but in reality they are A/B with a strong emphasis in Class A. It is a bit of a lie much more prevalent in power amps. A problem with Real class A is that from an energy and power perspective it's very inefficient a great deal of energy is lost to heat. So the "greenies" and the government have pushed people towards A/B and D to be more energy efficient. Real Class A is a lift dualie pickup truck roaling coal and a pair of testicle hanging from the tow hook. The Prius and Tesla drivers hate us but the sound is oh so sweet. For example even Luxman and Accuphase will advertise as full class a or pure class a when they are not.
Interesting comment about Class D within speakers, I do pro audio and these days most people are using powered speakers that have Class D amps. They can sound sound fantastic for that application.
To clarify, and you got a question about this, at 5:16, I think you mean to say class "A" has these characteristics, but you say A/B is more natural... ...clarity...etc., right?
Guys, I asked this question like million times, and I hope someone will finally give me a piece of answer: if I use Freya + in solid state buffer mode only (find it eventually to give more depth to sound stage and more precision, trading off dynamics etc) would Freya S work better for me (my system)?
I have a freya S, and have compared it. I've never had a solid state have more depth than tube. Going from freya s to the far more versatile freya + and better than stock tubes....there is no contest. That being said, the solid state floats your boat (I read Jason prefers the S) then save your money and just get the s.
@@scottlowell493 hi, thanks for taking effort to share your thoughts. I'm not sure I got which versions you are comparing? FS to F+ Solid State? Or F+ SS to F+ Tube? Please clarify. I will also elaborate a bit on my experience: I used to run Freya and then Freya+ on Tubes only. Number of configurations (though different for each). I found tubes superior - more punchy and airy sound, bigger stage. That was mostly with pair of stock tungsols in buffer (left side) and Chinese Full Music Gold. Then I did serious treatment of my room and it revealed a lot more stuff in the sound. After that I accidently switched to SS and was amazed how more detailed (a bit less punchy though) the music became. The shapes of sounds sources became more apparent and the scene moved a bit backwards. Though I have to add my room isn't ideal in terms of depth. Speakers (these are large ATCs) need to stand closer to the wall then I wanted - this decreases the first room mode at 32Hz. I also tested number of 10-20x more expensive preamps in the system before room treatment and didn't find much added value. It could make sense to repeat the exercise, but it is a lot of hassle. So my curiosity was coming up with a question - that maybe Freya S can be easy way to bring some improvements
well the truth of the matter is that it isn't that at least I don't think it is. in my own personal experience and I can only comment on what I've heard but having heard quite a bit of class d amplifiers over the last 5 years I can say unequivocally that to me they don't sound good. I've heard PS audio stellar series and I've heard the new NAD c298 that uses the latest modules and I've heard some of the older ncore stuff and I've also heard some of the rogue audio stuff and some of the belcanto amplifiers and some of it has sounded okay but only just okay, particularly the ncore stuff and the belcanto. as it goes though for me personally and I think it goes to say for others as well but they have a tendency to not sound very natural. for example go to a jazz concert or club and listen to a band play, you'll hear while sitting in the room the textures and the toneality of those instruments being played and I have yet to hear a class d amplifier that can reproduce those textures and tonalities accurately. now like I said I'm not saying they're terrible and they do have some good qualities, like their power output for a given size but when I listen to music I want to hear and feel those real instruments being played. And I'll tell you what when a class d design is capable of doing just that then I will happily jump ship from my class a boat.
Car audio amplifier Class AB I still own my Rock Fosgate Class AB 75 watt amplifier. With the Rock Fosgate speakers when they used to be made in the United States and the amplifier now everything is China and garbage..
Fix the gain switching error on the Mani+ if you don’t discontinue it 😉 . If you believe it’s correct, then what you are calling input and output gain is not intuitive or your labeling is wrong or whatever. Anyway, the documentation is misleading. 😉 Edit: Not a bad product otherwise. I don’t believe the Mani+ would be worth more money though, unless prices increase everywhere.
@@V1ralB1ack that's a great point! I just thought that if Schiit pulled it out it would be interesting. May never happen, but I love that they experiment on crazy stuff like GaN.

Jason you don't know how right you are because my 300 turned up just a little actually is running my ls50s. So I'm using literally 2-3 watts... and it's fantastic but yea mind boggling. I looked it up why and then I read speakers are driven by voltage and then I realized. All your amps use badass 600va transformers and this 300b also for the amount of current its delivering... also is pushing huge amounts of voltage. And bigger set amps push lethal voltage which is pretty metal

Hi
I remember when class A (Like MUSE) was the only acceptable thing. A/B was considered lesser fidelity. Now, the same argument is with class D. Thinking back on it, a lot of class A I heard was just gooey and polite compared to class a/b. It's all about implementation and presentation, not topology. Most class D that I have heard as of 2023 has a pretty poor treble. It's rolled off and polluted with modulated noise. GaN is no different.
While i applaud that Schiit can produce in California, I'd have to think there are several other states that would cost much less to operate in. Lower cost of real estate and taxes.
