Wow, how can they do it at those prices, is this stuff made in the US?
A $350 pre amp with relay-switched stepped attenuators instead of the cheaper IC stuff. A sub $1000 amplifier that doubles its wattage at 4 ohms, and has no caps in the signal path. Upgraded parts all around, this is seriously impressive. I used to buy Emotiva products, and they did nothing like this with their entry level pre amps and amps, and made it all in China. If Schiit is doing this plus having tubes and making it all in the US, that's head and shoulders above what Emotiva is doing even now.
From what I have read about the only thing Schiit imports are the wall warts. Other than that seems everything is US based, which to me is really impressive. If you look around on their website you will find a link to a history/philosophy of the company. It is really neat read with some humor.
