@georgehifi I do have have the Vidar and the Aegir . I am interested in your suggestion on a horizontal bi amping VS mono block config. These two amps have different powers as you know yet the diagram you posted has only one preamp as the master volume. I read that this kind of bi amping works only if one amp of the two to be used has a volume control. How exactly do I insert a Schiit sys in the signal path or in that diagram. Thanks for your time. My preamp is a Freya Plus
Should I sell my accuphase for this schiit
I have a super bad ass totally restored Accuphase p-250. I kind of really want to buy a pair of schiit aegir and use them as monoblock amps. Am I crazy? Will the aegir blow me away? What do you think?
This is for a bedroom system.

all the usual tweaks.

delvalle23 Very easy and will sound a lot better, you put the Schiit Sys on the louder of the two then your Freya drives the other amp and the Sys. You adjust the Sys once only to get the gain the same on both amps. The the Freya is your master volume. I’ve redone the horizontal diagram for you to include the Schiit Sys, Aegir and Vidar. In this I’m "assuming" the Vidar has more gain than the Aegir hence it has the Sys on it’s input. ("could" be the Aegir has more gain then you’d put the Sys on it) https://ibb.co/SRj7hPT Get a pair of these for your Freya’s output https://www.audioquest.com/accessories/splitters-connectors-adaptors/adaptors/hard-rca-splitter-male-to-2-female There are even cheaper ones on ebay. And I would copy and store that diagram as I don’t think they last long as it’s a free service to host them. Cheers George |
@georgehifi Wow . Thanks so much for this diagram. You even included names of each component. Thanks so much.Thanks, you may not even need the Sys if the gains of the Aegir and Vidar amps are the same. (unlikely if different manufacturers, but a possibility from the same Schiit) But if you do you and it's on the Vidar you can also vary the Sys to use it for "those odd recordings" that may need a bit more bass or a little less bass, or visa versa if it on the Aegir, a liitle more or less treble. So it will almost be like having a control to vary the tonality of the sound if needed, with certain recordings Cheers George |
