Schiit - shipments stopped?

Schiit is awesome. My Vidar amp delivered in ten days and it’s the best audio product I ever owned. And I’ve been buying audio gear for 50 years. Some of it much more expensive than the Vidar. But none of it better. I love Schiit. I even love the name.

If you dont adjust freya properly, you may damage your hearing.  I do have emails where they tout product for ht use.   The definition of marketing to discern where anything improper occurred is irrelevant. Whether they marketed it this way or not is irrelavant.  All this does not prevent a risky to your hearing health situation while using product.  Its a poor design.

so how is ht handled on a preamp if the passive setting isnt supposed to be used for this? 

If the unit is so dangerous, why don't you return it and launch an investigation with the appropriate division of the FTC?
