I did find the PS audio s300 and it looks like a good possibility. I have their 5.0 preamp and it's always been a very solid performer.
The Bryston is a bit long in the tooth, I don't want a used amp that old, for obvious reasons. I'd prefer, if going used, to stay with much more recent units.
Holy schiit! I am looking for a good amp, not a schiit amp :). Seriously, the Ragnarok probably won't work with my Apogees, they're super hungry, but the
Vidar monoblocks look like a good possibility.
I used to have a Norwegian Elkhound named Freya, does that mean I have to buy the preamp too?
