I've had these amps for a year and half. Had a lot of amps here. Many solid state, many tube. They are all pretty good but most have a little something that bugs me and they end up going bye bye. The Tyr somehow has no thing that really bothers me. It's a music lover's amp, just play it and it won't call attention to itself, just the music. I'm sure it's not the greatest amp there is but has to be one of the best bargains around. I use the Schiit Freya with some museum tubes and cables that cost more than the gear itself. I am constantly amazed at what you get for 4K retail.

I've had these for around a year and I love them. Only a slight hum on one of them which I can live with.

[ChrisJohnson-cs]

These work amazingly well with my magnepan 3.7i I finally got to hear how much bass my speakers really have

[bomt]

thanks for giving a shot out to Dominique Fils-Aimé's music. I really enjoyed the birds track. looking forward to listening to it when i get home from work.

[Coolguy-xocj]

Awesome!! Thomas as usual to see with " the absolute sound "good move on them ...

[phantomplastics]

The Freya + sounds great with the solid state LISST tubes in the left sockets and Tung-Sol 6SN7 GTB in the right if you want a tube sound. Also fund to experiment with the solid-state rectifier from Weber.

[ptg]

Whoa.... you are EVERYWHERE Thomas ! Rock on !

[ChicagoRob]

The fact that the Tyr is a chameleon shouldn’t require an asterisk in the review. The fact that it can differentiate a $3K preamp from a $6K preamp speaks volumes.

[jannotjerome]

Because of Thomas i often start my maths lesson by an "Let me tell you a story..."

[ronkindel]

I’ve been interested in this amp since the days where there were only hints about its early development on line. I’ve read and watched every review I could find trying to get a grasp of how this amp might sound and how it is different from its competitors. Thank you Thomas. Your review is the first time I feel my questions have been addressed.

[jeffreypicciolo]

Beautifully done. TT you've done an excellent job with this review.

[johnrus]

This means it's a very transparent and accurate amp. It's not coloring the sound much if at all. And the fact it keeps up with much higher end preamps. Speaks volumes about it's value and how good they really are when the front gear limits the amps. That's some quality stuff.

[robertcowart]

I like your measured approach Thomas, and feel like I can judge the equipment based on your analysis, , and descriptors.

[soowat]

The Tyr convinced me with the weight. Excellent review as always! 😊👍

[carlitomelon]

This model belongs in their much anticipated *EXCREMENT* product line.
High end enough for *AS's* reviewers to touch!

Seriously "a schyttr"?
This childishness has to end!

Excellent review as always Mr.T.
Well done keeping it professional with a straight face. Not getting anywhere near the stupid name.
You're a great addition to the AS staff!

Thank you, Thomas for this superb review. Something I'm not clear about: when is it the case that the best power amps can perform their best without the best source and preamp? I don't understand how Tyr's sensitivity to the preamp is a negative. The better, more refined and more revealing is the power amp, I presume in all cases the power amp is more transparent to the source and preamp. I may miss something obvious and if so, I apologize.

[Turboy]

What's most amazing to me is that this company actually decided to run with THAT name.

[koopsjunta]

All said with a straight face. You couldn’t write a better comedy sketch.

[ambcog]

You never mentioned speaker pairings Thomas. How are these amps with your new TL speakers? ✌️

[CHTC]

*Thomas, Again another great review.
*QUESTION: I was thinking of getting a pair of TYR's and the Freya+ to replace my Marantz PM10.
What are your thoughts?
Thx, Tommy
