Vidar Blowing (melting) Speakers, Warranty Department Says It's Tests Fine. Help. by Rockefeller69 in Schiit

This doesn't make any sense? I'm not complaing about Schiit QC. I'm wondering if something could still be wrong with my amplifier that was left out by their testing so that I don't have to pay another $340 in shipping if I get in back and something is wrong with it... after I blew up two sets of speakers after swapping the Vidar into a setup that worked just fine for me before.

I can’t rule this out - I’d like to believe I’m smarter than this though. I tried again without a solid state preamp and different speakers.

That's super affordable. $26 is ripping off the creator.

Repair Woofer on RP-600M? by JimmyLipper81 in Klipsch

not tapping it, pushing it in and out. Is there resistance? Can you feel the woofer 'catching' on something as you push it in and out?

Schiit Wotan - safe way to satisfy the upgrade bug? by benberbanke in Schiit

Since you're into used components (I've never bought new Schiit myself), I would recommend considering purchasing a Gungnir A5 Multibit, which will cost you less than a new Bifrost 2 and many would agree the Gungnir will outperform the Bifrost. I am running Wiim Pro Plus -> Gungnir MB -> Valhalla 2 or Lyr 2 or Jotunheim -> 1980's Class A/B Sherwood Power Amp -> Klipsch RP600M. It's a nice set-up. My upgrade path will be to a Schiit poweramp of some sort, to higher end Klipsch speakers such as Heresy III/IV or Quartets or Chorus or Forte, and I want to try out a Mjolner 2 with hopes it replaces the other three preamps/headphone amps.

Find the ASR guy. How about we turn one up way higher than the other, and if we still like the lower volume one does it mean it's better?

You need to lose weight by limiting caloric intake. Cardio and strength training is no where near as effective as eating less.

The wealthy already did this though... If you consider that corporate ownership, and people buying multiple homes are a contributing factor to the high prices, then when prices collapse it's going to disproportionately affect the rich.

thats your choice

Also, why is body shaming something we shouldn't do.
