What would you choose? Schiit Vider 2F, PS Audio S300, or wildcard?
I am in the market for a new amplifier. I have a limited budget of $1500. I would love US build. The Schiit Vider 2F (class A/B) is $900 and the PS Audio S300 (Class D) is $1400. What would you want to bring home. I would love to listen to each side by side but I don’t have any way to do that. What else is there to consider? Thanks!
Take a look at the used market. I find Hifishark.com invaluable. Here is a link for a Vidar at $700. https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=schiit+vidar Also, take a look at The Music Room. https://tmraudio.com/ I have purchased a few items from them, and returned one too. Excellent customer service and they reduce some of the stress of buying used with their wonderful support. |
+1 Odyssey - a rare sonic bargain. Also maybe Buckeye? |
VTV is also from Ohio: https://vtvamplifier.com/ |
I suggest you put in and sort with a slightly higher $1,800 limit at the top, just to know what a bit more might get you https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=amplifier 43 McIntosh, between 1500 and 1800, sort by new arrivals https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=mcintosh+amplifier
