Class-A audio amplifiers: What's the argument against them?
According to the Schiit website, the Aegir is "a hot-running amp, with over 10W of Class-A standing bias."

Maximum information-density. (footnote 1) You peaked early with Casual Reactions, which was entertaining in its day.But these days, most well-informed audiophiles don't fall for the spiel that amps have all these magical properties (other than hypnotically induced by the sales pitch coming from salesmen and reviewers), nor generic sonic attributes based on classification.

Eagerly waiting to read your (HR) review :-) ...........Benchmark Media AHB2 would seem to be a good amplifier for these RAAL SR1a headphones.Rogue Audio Sphinx (100 WPC) which HR used for comparison with this Aegir review, could also possibly be used for the RAAL review :-) ........First strike is that the Rogue Audio Sphinx lacks balanced/differential inputs with high CMR.Second strike is that it is an integrated amplifier, which lacks flexibility in later upgrades to proper separate components with less compromised functionality.Third strike is that they wasted resources on integrating a phono preamplifier instead of using those resources to add a couple of additional balanced inputs to connect an outboard phono preamplifier (and providing ability to later upgrade to a better phono preamplifier) located near the turntable, and to provide a tape loop with balanced I/O for recording the output of the phono preamp with a high quality outboard AD converter.HR usually reviews with several different amplifiers ......... Let us wait and see what HR says in his review of the RAAL headphones :-) ........I too am looking forward to reading your opinion on the RAAL SR1A. ( I thought ). Not anymore.And remind me never to reference anything you ever write about the technical side.

Poor Bob Cordell, champion of Class AB MOSFET amps, finding himself referenced in a review of an essentially Class A BJT amplifier (with 3 dB of class B headroom and a "secret squirrel circuit" probably error correction applied to flatten the transconductance curve). As Jason Stoddard told me in an email, "Depending on your point of view, Aegir Continuity is either (a) a lower-power, higher-cost version of our Vidar amplifier, displaying Schiit's unquestioned engineering decrepitude, or (b) a really interesting way to get around the problems of transconductance droop and the mismatch between NPN and PNP output devices." :-) ...........This review is confusing to me. Resolving of microdetail, incredible microdynamics, and highly engaging. Discussion in 'Audio Hardware' started by DaleClark, Apr 6, 2019. :-) ..........As always, a really nice review from Herb!!!!! Consequently, as knowledgeable audiophiles with a laundry list of system-building goals, we are required to choose the amplifier type that best suits our speakers, our room, and our individual musical-aesthetic predilections. Mid-centric (compared to the others). They are great Amps but are they an improvement over a 1985 vintage Threshold Amp? Schiit under-rate themselves, they underpromise yet they over deliver in performance and build quality. Higher in contrast. but I'm still on the fence about just getting the freya+ and another aegir to have the full balance with no transforming of the signal. Since around 2011 when I returned to paying attention to Published Audio, Tyll, Steve G and Bob Katz and all things digital it became obvious that no Company ( like our IVOR at LINN ) had any sort of grip on Audio Press leaving JA a hand to encourage un-hindered brilliance which showed up in the form of Tyll Hersten ( and his pals ). Given the Harbeths' low sensitivity, would you recommend using a pair Aegirs as monoblocks? I did this because it was the finest Audio Mag.

HP was somewhat inspired writing so I sold TAS as well. I keep reading Stereophile for another Outstanding Discovery like this one that our Tyll & Steve G gave to me at RMAF 2011.ps.
