    Schiit Mimir vs Fiio K11 R2R

    Hello everyone, Yesterday I received the Mimir. I’ve had the K 11 for a little over a month. Here are some of my initial thoughts and comparisons: (please chime in) Mimir: Very open and spacious treble. Detailed and immersive. Extended from low to high. Highlighted presentation of acoustic...

    Deciding on Permanent Amp + Utilizing Attenuators Between Tube Pre-Amp and Amplifier

    Hi guys, I recently picked up a pair of Shure A15AS XLR attenuators (set to -15db) to run between my tube pre and solid state power amp. The amp is a loaner from a good friend that I may purchase but it’s much more ~typical audiophile~ than anything I’ve ever considered before. My speakers...

    Welp wife got the audio system in the divorce. Was a funny conversation actually: me: "So I guess I'll take the audio system, you don't need it." her: "I was hoping to keep it. I'm too spoiled now for regular audio." me: "lmfao, uh, yeah, ok. I don't have any place for it right now anyway and I...

    Schiit Vidar dropping audio

    Hello folks, I run 2 Vidars as mononlocks. After several years of flawless operation, one has recently started to drop audio completely or to output distorted audio at very low levels within the first 2-5 minutes of powering on. All cables and channels have been swapped with the functioning...

    MicroSonic MS-3 with Schiit Rekkr amp

    Hey everyone, I've had a pair of MicroSonic MS-3 Series-II teeny tiny speakers for my desktop setup that I have really enjoyed. I have them paired with a sub and they sound pretty good. I'm trying to keep my system as small as possible, yet get some good quality sound. My current setup is...

    Kenwood KP-5022A Need help with my set up!

    I have a three legged Kenwood KP-5022A. Hooked up to a Bellari VP130 Phono Preamp, then into my most expensive piece of equipment Khozmo 3 input rca switch, then into two mono Schiit Rekkr amps, then into a pair of Beovox S45-2. My complaint is that the volume is too low. I can't tell if the...

    Loki Mini+ Power Supply Alternative

    Hi, I'm struggling a bit with how to try and integrate the Schiit Loki Mini+ into my preamplifier enclosure (under construction). The Preamp will use the Neurochrome components and I already have their Preamp Power supply which provides ultralow output noise +/-12VDC outputs. I'm trying to get...

    Schiit Lokius Equalizer with Single Ended Amp and Cornwall II Speakers

    Schiit Aegir - anyone here use one ?

    Hey folks, does anyone here use a Schiit Aegir? Any opinion of them? I’m thinking of picking one up to power a pair of Dayton PS220-8 drivers. If those speakers don’t work out for me, the Aegir could just power some tweeters in a bi-amped setup. Wanted to get some opinions of the Aegir before...
