FWIW, Lyr3/+ are not particularly tubey. Vali is a more classically tubey presentation in my opinion.

Still really enjoying it, haven't found myself missing the Jot 2 in this set-up (with VCs and Atrium) at all. Have actually mostly used the SS stage and like it possibly more than with the tube, which I did not anticipate.

Well my impressions were vs Jot 2. And it's been awhile since I've listened to my Asgard 3 but the Jot 2 was a big step up from that in clarity and sweetness as well. (Less warm.) Lyr+ SS is a step up from Jot 2.

The treble just has an airier/lighter quality. Maybe more shimmery? But without additional sparkle or anything. Lyr+ with the tube also has this it seems to me.

Yeah, switching from SS to tube yesterday evening it felt like the sound was: - More open - More relaxed - Smoother - Ever so slightly 'warmer'... like, a bit bloomier in the low-low end - Lost a touch of the more aggressive mid-sweetness present in the SS mode Perhaps unsurprisingly, Tube...

This one seems fine and pops in and out with no issues, other than the initial thing of the Lyr not detecting it, but I may not have seated it aggressively enough.

Great so far, I've been mostly using SS today listening to some tunes while working, and my initial impressions stand. It's very clean and engaging without any of the shoutiness I remember from older Schiit amps and which I always fear will rear its head (but it seems everything post Lyr 3 has...

They sent with it a Tung Sol 6SN7. I also have a PSVANE and JJ that I've used with the Lyr 3 so I may do some swapperooning

Arrived! Super-duper early impressions. Looks awesome, I love the new chassis. The button-laden front is much cleaner-looking, in my opinion, than the flip switches of old. Took two tries for the Lyr+ to realize there was a tube plugged in -- it was initially defaulting to the SS gain stage...

Bought! Arrives tomorrow.

There's a button on the front

I'm very excited for this one personally. I loved the Lyr 3 with the right source pairing. I love this chassis design and Schiit's latest amps have been phenomenal. The weird hybrid topology is perfect for my use case too as I'm stuck to a desk with headphones in for long stretches of time, and...

Well I don't think I could stand 10 tubes worth of heat dissipating into my wall-AC-unit apartment, but this makes me optimistic that a Valhalla 3 or Lyr 4 might have this interesting new hybrid tube/solid state buffer setup.

Bump

I'm assuming you'd up/sidegraded a Yggy to this? Out of curiosity have you considered making the Unison upgrade as well? It made a huuuuge difference with my Bifrost Multibit -- and I'm currently auditioning a LIM with Unison and man is it a hell of a DAC

For sale is a pair of Verite Closed Camphor Burls with Magnesium Chassis. It includes Universal Lambskin pads, Be2 Lambskin pads, and Ori Lambskin pads, as well as a 1/4" stock cable and a 9-foot OFC XLR cable -- it also comes with the now-discountinued wood box. I'm the second owner and have...

Ah, yeah no worries. Thanks for letting me know!

It didn't say that before...

Is this still available?

Is there a reason you blacked out the serial number? That’s important to be able to tell if it’s an A1 or A2 Gungnir

This is tempting. How does this compare to the likes of ampsandsound, etc?

Great amp -- underrated in my opinion. Perfect for jazz and older hard-panned stereo recordings thanks to the really nice crossfeed feature.

@dematted Seems to have a habit of ignoring people once his listings have sold. Maybe update them so people don't waste their time buddy?

Perfect communication, shipment was very prompt and item was well-packaged, very clean and just as described. A++++ for a $2700 transaction -- great seller!

I sent a message and didn't get a reply... let me know if this is still available
