I have a pair of Uruz, bucking the typical Tekton trend with a ribbon tweeter instead. They're hooked to a TV in what I'd consider my 4th or 5th audio setup, doing a fine job. Typical high efficiency, big paper cone, just a wee bit shouty.

For the eclipse crowd, while I'm sure the local weather reports will reflect it, expect cooler weather during the eclipse (and not just during the "total" eclipse hours). We had one in 1984 over the Georgia Tech campus, while I was a student there. It was markedly cooler that morning when I...

Squeezebox Receiver > Gungnir MB > Freya OG (LISST) > (2) Emotiva XPR-1's > Swans F2.2F

I like the manuals (mostly due to the cryptic nature of the lights and stencils on the equipment), but certainly not a deal breaker to refer to (or download) an online version. But, as was mentioned, they need to stay on the website (archived) for older products. Keep the Stickers coming...

I've had 2 occasions with my Bifrost 2 where I've inadvertently hit a downstream component with a small static charge and sound stopped. Restarting the BF2 was the answer on both occasions. For whatever reason, my BF2 appears to be more susceptible to that kind of thing than my other...

I believe my first concert was Joan Jett (Sept 5, 1982) at Six Flags over Georgia. I just looked through my old ticket stubs and sadly don't even remember being at a few of those shows (I partied a bit back in the 80's and 90's). A couple of my favorites were: Anthrax (w/ Testament opening)...

I wonder if Burt Reynolds could have pulled off Zardoz.....

My Tyrs were originally estimated for Monday delivery, then updated to Saturday (even though Saturday morning they were still showing as "in transit" from Pocoima, so I knew that wasn't going to happen), then back to Monday and "on truck for delivery" Monday morning, then "local weather delay -...

The Texas location is on top of their shipping. My Black Friday Lokius was handed to me (in Georgia) this morning at 10:15am.

I'm not sure it was so much that they caved, but I sure did. Been wanting a Lokius, and was very interested in trying Aegir and/or Tyr (even though not blown away by my Vidar, I do have Modi MB, Gungnir MB, Bifrost 2, Sys, Freya w/ LISST, (2) Freya S, Magnius). So, upon seeing the thread...

I use a Sys as a balance control in my home office (due to the room layout, one speaker is 2' closer to me). From my DAC I connect 1 channel direct to my preamp and the other (louder) channel runs through Sys so I can attenuate the volume to balance the sound at my desk.

While I haven't timed my Freya S, I'd agree that it's start-up time is about half of the OG Freya (I have both). Running temp for the Freya S is basically room temperature, compared to the quite toasty OG Freya with LISST.

Another piece of advice that used to matter when corresponding with a government agency (I work for one, but not that one), is that if you write them a letter that you're having some sort of problem and it has been x number of days (perhaps 45) since your initial contact and you have not...

Based on my Vidar, that does not include feet. Mine is pretty much 4 3/16" with feet.

Wanted to share a few quick observations... Received a Freya S late Monday. I swapped it in place of my existing Freya (octal LISST) in my main 2-channel system and have been running it in Nexus +1 mode. It sounds at least as good as my original Freya (which is currently replacing a SYS in my...

I can confirm for you, that they ARE shipping. I ordered a Freya on 5/19, then on 6/18 got an email from Schiit saying they were about ready to ship, but couldn't bill against the original authorization (due to time), so they were going to send a new invoice through Paypal. I paid the new...
