Just wondering if any of the nay sayers/Haters ever heard or owned the Aegir amp(s) ?
I have, and they were very good.. especially when you factor in their price..  
I think the comments here are directed at the Stereophile list not the Schiit Aegir.
Okay,

So what do the Stereophile haters read to learn about new products?

Just curious.

People actually do take these ratings seriously. I sold a amp yesterday in 10 minutes after advertising it. The guy who bought it mentioned the Stereophile list in our phone conversation. It was not the only reason but did somewhat help me sell the amp.
To jwaller50’s comment - What publications do we trust - I for one do use The Absolute Sound - their review of Magnapan Speakers let me to sticking with this brand for multiple years.

My system has never sounded better with my upgrade to the Maggie 1.7i. I also used them to convince myself that The Swarm subwoofer system by AudioKensis was worth the money. I now have them in my second system - great bass extension at a nominal investment.

TAS is my key reference for multiple components in my home that are an excellent value for the monies I invest in this hobby!

Enjoy the music.
