New audio setup?

Great point about the 2 Vidars. They definitely won't do well below 8 Ohms. Besides, there's other alternatives out there if you really want mono blocks. Which are great, but not necessary really. Kind of a bonus. You could also look for a true dual mono stereo power amp. That's a great way to get almost mono block sound, but not use up as much room, or money. 

The Vidar looks like a really nice amp (which doubles its power into 4 ohms). Sorry about the monoblock suggestion, I missed the fact that monos are only rated into 8 ohms.

Ynos,

I am suspicious that you are playing with the forum with some 
of your replies. Am I right?

If not I apologize. My thought is that you find a mentor in a local
AV store or forum and start learning from him/her. (Won't be a her
by the way). You have some good Schiit so far. But who advised you to buy the Freya when you had an integrated??? 

Find someone to take you to the next step.
I did and with patience it has paid off!!

Hi firstnot, I assure you that I'm not playing with the forum. I may come off short & to the point but that's just who I am and if my questions just sound too ridiculous to be real... Sorry they're real.
With all the reading I've done and YouTube videos I've watched reviewing products, none have taken the time to actually break down what each component does. All I ever heard from people is that you just need three things to listen to records - the player, pre-amp and 2ch amp. Turns out that's not entirely accurate.

Anyway I just want to thank everyone here for the helpful advice, especially auxinput for breaking it down for me.

I've now ordered - 
MANI PHONO PREAMP
+
VIDAR POWER AMPLIFIER
