Aegir Monoblock Amplifiers.
Actually, according to the Stereophile review “The single-ended input impedance is specified as 22k ohms. Schiit’s affordable care act extends its coverage this week with the announcement that the Aegir Continuity™ Speaker Amp is now shipping. They sound great. It's a power amp too....the preferred amp for the Raal headphones by their designer. And features intelligent microprocessor management of all critical operating conditions, including DC offset and standby mode, as well as relay-activated shutdown for overcurrent, thermal, and other faults."
He always makes me want to buy more equipment.
Hold the Viagra. Resolving of microdetail, incredible microdynamics, and highly engaging. Eagerly waiting to read your (HR) review :-) ...........Benchmark Media AHB2 would seem to be a good amplifier for these RAAL SR1a headphones.Rogue Audio Sphinx (100 WPC) which HR used for comparison with this Aegir review, could also possibly be used for the RAAL review :-) ........First strike is that the Rogue Audio Sphinx lacks balanced/differential inputs with high CMR.Second strike is that it is an integrated amplifier, which lacks flexibility in later upgrades to proper separate components with less compromised functionality.Third strike is that they wasted resources on integrating a phono preamplifier instead of using those resources to add a couple of additional balanced inputs to connect an outboard phono preamplifier (and providing ability to later upgrade to a better phono preamplifier) located near the turntable, and to provide a tape loop with balanced I/O for recording the output of the phono preamp with a high quality outboard AD converter.HR usually reviews with several different amplifiers ......... Let us wait and see what HR says in his review of the RAAL headphones :-) ........I too am looking forward to reading your opinion on the RAAL SR1A. Phew!!!
Went through psAudio's page for getting rid of humming noise, it does not work for me. I did this because it was the finest Audio Mag. Not a stereo that bridges to mono.In their line up, they have this model and another that is a stereo model that bridges to 400 watts.
Asserting that this Schiit pre/power stack competes with products two or three times the price is fully qualified – the more expensive rivals are specified.
?I bought the Aegir based on reviews, together with Freya + . Seems like those Schiit dudes hang with some sharp people! Plus you got to stay cool, pray for grace, and turn the volume up s l o w l y.May be HR could review the relatively new Denon HEOS Class-D, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capable integrated amp ($499)?
Stuff like "spaces sound electronic" and "trippy and realistic".... let's hope that most readers aren't buying it. But: What if I told you that the Schiit Audio dudes, Jason Stoddard and
Not funny. It pulls up to 450 watts from the wall socket. Class-A audio amplifiers: What's the argument against them? Each will interface more or less successfully with a given loudspeaker in a given room. ----- "Best attainable sound for a component of it's kind, almost without practical considerations, with the least musical compromise" ----- I can trust Mr.HR on this, I've owned Schiit since 2011.
Empty spaces seem If the hum is from the speakers you could have an "earth loop" I believe only one piece of equipment should be earthed in the chain (with me it's the amp/s), and everything else feeds off that via all the interconnects.
Previewed at RMAF 2018, here’s what we know about the Aegir: From @schiit on HF: “10W of Class A bias and a Continuity output stage gets you 150-160W into 4 ohms mono with performance very, very similar to Class A, without the several amperes of standing current and massive heat usually necessary for Class A at that level”
Class-AB amplifiers: Why does everybody make them?
