MikeInGA Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Anyone running Schiit pre-amps/amps with their Vandersteens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Never used the preamps, but the amps were pretty good with Vandersteen. Though for the money, the Belles is much better Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GdnrBob Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Belles amps and preamps. They are a nice combo for our speakers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInGA Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Gotcha. I was able to decipher after doing some searching of your other posts. I knew I had seen them referenced before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Schiit makes very good products at a reasonable price point. But, other brands, like Belles, make a more refined sound. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomicTime Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Mike - I think it’s an interesting company run by two principles that have significant industry experience and pretty good ears… interesting business model and they source USA where possible. Saying that, ive never heard any of their products driving Vandersteen speakers… i did make a pilgrimage several years ago to to The Schittr…… i was not impressed w sonics…. but i bet a pair of VLR or 1Ci would have fixed that…….well..much of it….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomicTime Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 KEF LS-50 and the very forgettable floorstanders….. yes they are great wordsmiths…. the book Schitt Happened is a fun read…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratocaster Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I haven't encountered that many articles/discussions on the Schiit amps. Seems like the DACs are their bread and butter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are priced well. The Gungnir DAC was darn close to the Ayre Codex. I think their top of the line Yggdrasil probably nailed it. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing from Steve Guttenberg, and John Darko that they are 'so mahvallus'. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInGA Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 I have a Bifrost 2 DAC and a Valahlla 2 Headphone amp. Great sounding stuff. The Bifrost was my first separate DAC. It was the first time I had heard a significant difference in my system when hooking up a component. The amp is nice and warm. I enjoy Schiit's shi... uh, stuff.

TomicTime Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The VLR are a much better speaker. I do think the Schitt electronics represent good value and with great speakers would make many people happy. It’s a different business model. Hopefully many of you have noticed my preferis to establish a relationship with a Vandersteen dealer and lay out a long term system plan that gets you where you want to be…. 😉 no matter, enjoy the music and the journey… Happy Thanksgiving ALL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
