Schiit Vidar Mono/Stereo Amplifier 100wpc

Description

Bidders with no previous transactions or low feedback scores will not be considered and their bids cancelled. Item will be shipped requiring signature.
Up for bid is a lightly used Schiit Vidar amplifier (less than 50 hours). If I hadn't already broken the seal, you would never know that the unit had been unboxed. This is a one owner device from a non smoking home.
The photos show the physical condition of the item. Be sure to ask questions prior to bidding as there are no returns. I will ship this item using the original factory carton and packaging. Auction includes a Schiit Vidar amplifier, power cord and manual.
From the Schiit Website:
No-Excuses Amp, No-Brainer Price
Vidar is nothing less than a no-excuses, exotic-topology, Class-AB, linear-supply, microprocessor-controlled, power-doubling, dual-mono-ish, intelligently-managed, drives-almost-anything power amp. No Class D, no switching supplies, no fans, no compromises, nothing in the signal path but music—for a three-figure price tag.
Small Size, Big Power
Don’t let the compact size fool you—pick up the Vidar to get a real feeling for the beefy 600VA transformer inside. Vidar may be small, but it’s also a powerhouse, delivering 100W per channel into 8 ohms, doubling to 200W per channel into 4 ohms.
Stereo or Mono Flexibility
Combine Vidar with a single-ended preamp like Saga for a complete system with insane, no-compromise performance—for just a little over a grand. Or, run two Vidars from a preamp with balanced outputs (like our Freya) for true monoblock performance and 400 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
Intelligent Oversight and Protection
In Vidar, a microprocessor oversees important aspects of amplifier operation, from DC offset to over-current and over-temperature faults. This provides stable, safe operation without invasive current-limiting, fuses, or active devices in the power supply path. In English, Vidar makes sure it’s operating optimally at all times—and protects itself when it needs to, so you can be assured of excellent performance for a long, long time.
