Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
Ultimate fail on my Xuling 6sn7 adapter to 5670 adapter for Vali 3. It doesn't fit by itself. I need to get a 5670 socket saver in there so the pins will connect. The 6sn7 adapter is too big and can't seat down to the recessed socket of Vali 3.- Brubacca

I was at a location in Lancaster , PA that has an anechoic chamber. Was told the same thing. I begged to be able to get into that room , but ultimately could not.- Brubacca

Morgan Spurlock dies at the age of 53.... Be honest.... How many people's first thought was to wonder if eating McDonald's for a month contributed to it?- Brubacca

I may have helped. Got a 12au7 and 6sn7 adapter when I read the heads up a few pages ago that they were going to stop making them. First reference I saw was page 30 of the Vali 3 thread.- Brubacca

The information above about A1 is not correct. There was a AKM DAC version and MultiBit Analog A1. They are different products. It was sold as Gungnir Delta Sigma (AKM) and Gungnir Multibit. The original MultiBit became known as Analog A1 as the second Gungnir MultiBit version was never...- Brubacca

Is it really fair to compare the stp-se to the Freya S? The STP-SE starts at $3,750 USD. I think when saying how great a product is compared to another its only fair to state the price. The WFS is $3k more than Freya S. It damn well better be a far superior product. Edit: just looked again...- Brubacca

Oh boy. I have a older Cifte that used to be in my Tube Integrated amp, preamp spot. It may be done though. Also have a Mullard cv4003 that I never got on with in my tube amp that should have plenty of life. Going to have to get me an adapter and try them out.- Brubacca

Thanks. Clearly I need to go my game in this tube stuff. I'll just get some new tubes that are appropriate for the Vali 3. Looking for a little more of that tube swing.- Brubacca

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
So to be clear because I am not very smart.... I can use an adapter (From garage1217) that will allow me to use 12au7 or 12ax7 tubes in Vali 3... The adapter discription is: this adapter works two ways. 6922 / 6DJ8 tube to be used in a 6N3P / 5670 / 2C51 / 396A socket. The socket in the Vali...- Brubacca

Its funny you say this because I have a few hundred CDs. I jumped on streaming my own music internally to my house. Several times I have almost bought a good CD player and considered URD. On occasion I have network problems or hardware problems and it drives me nuts. But never enough to go...- Brubacca

My Vali 3 should be arriving tomorrow. Very excited. I now have Fulla, Hel, Magni Heresy, Asgard 2. Headphones at best are a secondary thing for me. Maybe I just need some tube goodness and I should sell some of the other stuff.- Brubacca

I think the biggest difference is the voltage on the internal rails. went from 60V to 100V. I can't say I completely understand beyond "more is better". I also struggle with the length of Jason's posts.. It's not a criticism of Jason, I realize this is a me problem.- Brubacca

I haven't even read the manual to my super complicated Arcam AV receiver with Dirac. Paper manual that is. I have a crazy thought. Maybe make a checkbox on the order page saying you want a manual? Probably a crap idea that makes it more complicated for the 10% that still want them.- Brubacca

No other official upgrades. By my count there we three MultiBit version unofficially. There was the first version that came out. People here call it analog one and it has a specific sonic signature. I have one and its a bit laid back. Second version called A2 here was ever officially...- Brubacca

Actually I am a freak that way. Can't eat the whiz. In high school I worked at a place making cheesesteaks. The whiz was nasty. Had a putrid smell at the end of a shift. Went to Stubbs. I'd say it was good. Obviously better than anything I cam get at home although the Salt Lick Briskett was...- Brubacca

Yes. Cheesesteaks everywhere.... even a place that makes a Buffalo chicken cheesesteak on a Garlic bread roll. Sounds bad, but it's soo good.- Brubacca
