The Computer Audiophile Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Just out from Schiit, the Tyr monoblock amp. "Hey all, Picture a $1599 power amplifier. You’re probably thinking of a nice Class-D design in a neat chassis, all super-efficient and lightweight and modern, right? Wrong! Meet Tyr. Simply the most insane power amp you’re likely to meet in the “cheap seats.” Tyr isn’t just a all-linear-supply, Nexus™ and Continuity™ differential monoblock amplifier with 24 15-amp output devices per channel—it’s also a choke-input monoblock amplifier. As in, the power supply is fronted by a choke that is the same size and weight as the power transformer! Yes, we have brought back choke-input power supplies…in a 200W/8 ohm, semi-affordable monoblock. And yes, as you have always secretly thought…we are completely insane. We hope you love it!

oneguy Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Order your Tyrs separately. You will get upcharged for shipping if you order them in pairs on the same order even though they go out the door as separate items with separate tracking numbers. Link to comment

So, they are just treating each monoblock like one amp - odd.

Point being that if you order two on one order you pay more for shipping than if you order one then order another one separately. That shouldn’t be the case considering regardless of method they leave Schiit’s door the same way and at the same cost. Link to comment

Yep and I’m attempting to get my account credited but they have since upped the price of shipping for USPS in their calculator in the four business days it took to get a response to my question.

botrytis Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Interested in what you think. I sold my last pair of monoblocks for more than I bought them for (they were Kenwood L-07M's that were rebuilt). I compared the stereo Schiit amp versus Benchmark and I went with Benchmark. Can't go wrong either way, Current: Daphile on an AMD A10-9500 with 16 GB RAM DAC - TEAC UD-501 DAC Pre-amp - Rotel RC-1590 Amplification - Benchmark AHB2 amplifier Speakers - Revel M126Be with 2 REL 7/ti subwoofers Cables - Tara Labs RSC Reference and Blue Jean Cable Balanced Interconnects Link to comment

JHG Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Still looking for an "official" review. Pretty surprised that at least one didn't show up when they were released. I do have a good friend whose ears I trust that has a pair. He says they are the best he has ever heard, and he has heard a lot of them in his 74 years. Exocer 1 Link to comment
