    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    A bunch of my friends and I blind A/B tested the Jotunheim to the Schiit Vali 2 (with 6BZ7 tube and Amperex ECC88/6DJ8 Orange Globe Logo O-Getter tube) with a 3.5mm switcher and we all could tell no difference between the amps.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I’m building a new house and will be doing the electrical in a few months with my father who is a licensed electrician. For the theater room, are you just saying to run a dedicated run from a breaker to the electrical socket that my audio equipment will be plugged into? And then plug my...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Is the general consensus that newly purchased Jotunheims sound better than the older ones? And is this leaning towards confirming that the new Jotunheims use a constant transconductance output stage?

    Thank you for the replies! It seems pretty simple now how they're installed.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Does the Multibit DAC card mount vertically still or horizontal? From the pictures, I don't see the pin outs like on the other cards to hook it up, so I'm a bit confused on how it installs and it connected. Are the pin outs on the other side of the card pointing down, and the card mounts...

    Asus Xonar Essence STX vs Schiit Eitr for SPDIF

    I disabled the on-board audio right away, and I'm also using the Unified Xonar Drivers. That's interesting. In the Xonar driver I have SPDIF Out checked with PCM. http://puu.sh/yNUMi/d4cc6f492e.jpg

    Asus Xonar Essence STX vs Schiit Eitr for SPDIF

    Currently I am using an Asus Xonar Essence STX to feed my Schiit Modi Multibit via TOSLINK. I always see people talking about jitter and whether or not it actually makes a difference. Do you believe the Schiit Eitr would make a slight improvement over the Xonar?

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    Does anyone think the Schiit turntable will have a phono pre-amp built in? I'm thinking of buying the Schiit Mani, but will wait a bit longer and get the Schiit turntable if it has a a phono pre-amp built in.

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Whoever designed the MMCX cable is an absolute idiot. I cut the right angle jack off to terminate an XLR connector to make a balanced cable because I know there's two ground wires. This would make you think they use a separate ground if there's two ground wires at the right angle connector...

    Anyone have a wiring diagram for the MMCX connectors?

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    Does the stock cable have 4 separate wires all the way to the end? Or are the grounds joined together at the Y-splitter? I want to attach a 4-pin XLR to the end to have a balanced cable.

    That's what I was trying to say. It ripped off the earcup when I was pulling the earcups off.

    Put the Audeze vegan pads on mine today. They're more comfy, but the clamp force is still annoying and hurts my jaw and head after a while. Any way to reduce the clamp force? I've had it stretched on my pillow overnight for a while now and it's still too tight.   Also, when I was pulling one...

    Didn't know the Jot was a Class A amp.

    How hot should the Jot get? Mine gets pretty hot to the touch, and even the volume knob gets pretty warm.

    That cable color is disgusting, though. Any way of getting one from them in a different color?

    Does the Shure SE215 cable keep four separate wires all the way until the connector, or are the grounds joined in that middle connector piece?

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    I bought it used the other day, and the previous owner had it for a month. Not sure how much he used the knob. Hopefully it gets better over time.

    Schiit Jotunheim Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV

    I find the volume knob on my Jot to be a little disappointing. It's hard to do fine volume adjustments as the knob isn't really smooth. If I want to move it a smidge, it takes a bit to overcome the initial friction, which causes it to jump up or down instead of a nice smooth adjustment.

    There's a metal cover on both sides. You didn't remove the earside metal cover?

    And the metal cover and the foam under it stay in place?

    Monoprice Monolith M1060 and M560 Planar Headphones

    I'm having a hard time understanding how you fit it on. On the stock earside there's foam, a metal cover, and then the earpad, correct? So where exactly is the foam from the rear going? Underneath the metal cover? over the metal cover but under the vegan pad?

    Are you saying you replaced the fabric under the grill on the earside with the foam from under the grill on the backside?

    Looking for short RCA cables (1" or less)

    Looking for a nice and short RCA cable to hook a Modi Multibit to a Jotunheim. The 6" Schiit PYST RCA cable would work, but they seem too expensive for me. Any recommendations?
