    Could those of you attending please try to compare the Ragnarok 2 against the Aegir(s) and share impressions here? Also curious about any comparisons of Ragnarok 2 to its predecessor if Jason and team mention anything. Have fun!

    The comparisons of the Rag 2 to the OG are what I'm interested in the most as well. Like if it's still the best all-rounder amp Schiit has to offer but with slightly improved clarity and power.
