Μας έχει συνηθίσει στα περίεργα ονόματα και στο εντυπωσιακό των επιδόσεων σε σχέση με το κόστος απόκτησης η Schitt Audio. Αρκετά χρόνια τώρα. Ο κατασκευαστής παρουσίασε το ανώτερο μοντέλο ενίσχυσης ακουστικών λαμπάτο Folkvangr, όπου θα παραχθεί σε μόλις 250 κομμάτια. Φορά δέκα συνολικά λυχνίες (!), δύο 6N1P και οκτώ 6N6P εξόδου ενώ φυσικά λειτουργεί σε καθαρή τάξη Α. Η Schiit Audio προτιμά την σχεδίαση τύπου OTL & OCL, χωρίς δηλαδή μετασχηματιστή εξόδου και πυκνωτές στην είσοδο, επιτυγχάνοντας με αυτή ανώτερη δυνατή διαφάνεια και εξαιρετική ροή. Ο Folkvangr μπορεί να παραγγελθεί στην χώρα μας από την αντιπροσωπεία της Golden Acoustics και η τιμή του υπολογίζεται κοντά στα 2.000 ευρώ. Με τόσα διαμαντάκια που διαθέτει πλέον στην γκάμα της η Schiit Audio, εκτός από τα flagships σαν αυτό, θα ικανοποιήσει και όσους αναζητούν ότι καλύτερο στην περιοχή των 150 έως 700 ευρώ μέσα από μια θαυμαστή λίστα προενισχυτών line, προενισχυτών ακουστικών αλλά και ολοκληρωμένων ενισχυτών & digital to analog (ουκ ολίγων) μετατροπέων! Η σοβαρή και απίθανης τιμολόγησης λίστα προϊόντων αξιώσεων της Schiit προκαλεί το κοινό των “audiophiles on a budget” δίνοντας μάλιστα οριστικές λύσεις στα χρήματα. Εμείς, ακόμα στοχεύουμε και περιμένουμε το πικάπ της με 11άιντσο βραχίονα (!) ρυθμίσεων VTA,Azimunth μεταξύ άλλων, με ενσωματωμένο phono-stage και ‘αδύνατη’ τιμή διάθεσης κοντά στα 1000,- € !

Schiit SOL – CAST ALUMINUM UNIPIVOT TURNTABLE. Yeah, we know. Sol doesn’t look like any other affordable turntable in the world. That’s because it’s designed to deliver the most amazing performance possible for the bucks, without regard to how it “should” look. If you want a normal-looking turntable, there are tons of choices. If you want the best performance for your investment, there’s only one choice: Sol.Engineered Specifically for Performance. Sol is the result of 6 years of R&D at Schiit Audio. Some may say we’re just slow (and that may be true), but Sol also went through many iterations to reach its final form. That’s how we landed on something completely unique, a true unconstrained unipivot design based on aluminum die castings, with not a piece of MDF or acrylic in sight. That’s also how we decided to include an insane amount of high-end features, like on-the-fly adjustable VTA. Separate Motor Pod = Complete Isolation. As an example of our dedication to performance, Sol’s motor is completely separated from the plinth and platter, housed in a separate, sorbothane-isolated pod that completely decouples it from the rest of the turntable. A Poron foam platter mat completes the isolation from environmental vibration. Longest Arm in the Hood—Swappable in Seconds Sol features a carbon fiber tonearm that is longer than anything else in its price class—a full 11” long. A longer arm means more accurate tracking—much better than the “baby arms” of other affordable turntables. Not only that, the Sol tonearm can be swapped in seconds, allowing you to set up multiple cartridges on multiple tonearms for your specific needs. Total Adjustability for Every Need Sol was also designed to help you extract the maximum performance from every cartridge. Literally everything is adjustable. From on-the-fly VTA, cartridge angle, anti-skate, and even tonearm pivot height, platter height, and motor pulley height, we have you covered. You’ll be comfortable using an expensive cartridge with Sol, knowing you’re getting the most out of it. Ideal For Turntable Owners Looking For More If you already own an inexpensive turntable, but you’re looking for maximum performance (without a second mortgage), Sol is perfect for you. Choose Sol, choose your ideal cartridge (Sol does not come with a cartridge), set it up to the nth degree with the help of our videos, and you’ll be far, far ahead in analog performance, without spending a fortune. Designed and Assembled in USA. By “designed and assembled in USA” this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Sol—including the die-cast aluminum pieces, machined and stamped metal pieces, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our castings are done just beyond the Orange Curtain, many subassemblies are done in Simi Valley, and assembly, adjustment, and testing are done by us in Valencia, CA. You get the picture.5-Year Warranty, Easy Returns. Sol is also covered by a 5-year limited warranty that covers parts and labor (2 years) (with a single exception: belts. Come on, do you really think a turntable belt will last 5 years? And if you don’t like your Sol, you can send it back for a refund, within 14 days of receiving it.Type: manual with cueing Arm: Unconstrained unipivot, carbon fiber pultruded shaft, 11″ effective length, with adjustable cartridge angle, anti-skate, fast swap, and on-the-fly adjustable VTA.
