When thinking about Schiit gear, it’s good to keep in mind the original company developers, one of which is still doing it, have a long history in the audio world and know what they’re doing. Another thing is, because they don’t go through distributors and retailers, the prices are very reasonable for what you get. If you bought anything they sell from a brick and mortar store, you’d pay at least double. The oft abused, "you get what you pay for" isn’t always the case but a lot of folks will never accept that. Good luck.
Considering Schiit equipment
Hi folks,
I love my vintage gear but have an itch to try some new equipment.
I'm looking into a pair of Schiit Tyr F mono blocks and either the Frya +F, Kara F or Saga 2 preamps.
Mono blocks are a given. I like it better than just stereo.
The preamps are hard to decide on. Frya +F has tubes and I've never had tube equipment. The Kara F seems the same, except no tubes. The Saga 2 is in the running because of the extra RCA input. I will need 5 RCA jack inputs total.
I see I can get XLR to RCA adapters but wonder about quality loss with those.
I can live with one adapter for the rarely used tuner if sound quality loss is an issue with these.
A big issue with the Schiit preamps is that I don't see a balance control for left and right. Is this something that's done with the remote control or just isn't there?
