Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread
Awesome info and thanks. That'll go into my notes; I am little gun shy about adaptors at this point, maybe later on down the line. Cheers, Kokanee.- adktitan

Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread
I ordered a JJ E88CC / 6922 Gold Pin Preamp Vacuum Tube. It wasn't expensive and I thought a good place to start. The prices get pretty hefty - but I also read that the price of the tube isn't everything and not to spend more on tubes then the amp itself, so I'm starting with that one at lower...- adktitan

Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread
Cool- thanks for the feedback - This sentence "I would try different tube types first rather than different ones within the same type" is of interest to me because I have NO IDEA what kind of tube came with the Vali 2. Its not marked anywhere on it. Somewhere in this thread, or the tube...- adktitan

Hope all is well with everyone - I guess we have lots of time to listen to music eh? Anyway, I ordered this as my first tube amp (hybrid, but still) and have been listening for the past two days using the stock tube and I gotta say, its better then I expected. I am using JH Roxannes, and for...- adktitan

New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
No. I was out of my warranty period. But honestly, I just called up JH, spoke to the repair department and they walked me through what I needed to do to send them back so they could diagnose, and that was that. I sent them back, in a few days they called me and told me what was wrong and gave me...- adktitan

New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
I had a similar issue with a similar aged Roxanne. I contacted the company, went through the repair and diagnose process and sent them back. I think I paid roughly 200$ (maybe a bit more, but not much) and received a pair back that were better then new. Totally new drivers, cleaned shells, the...- adktitan

New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
I'm planning on doing this while mobile. With my JH13s it's absolutely fine. So good that I gave up using portable amps like ttvj slim and pico, etc. In my opinion and in my uses, the portable amps were not worth the hassle of rf contact, bulk, etc. I am planning on doing the same with Rox. At...- adktitan

New JH Audio flagship! "Siren Series Roxanne"
Have you tried calling? I ask because maybe they are not receiving your emails. They could be going straight to a 'junk' folder depending on your email address or you can try emailing one of the JHA crew directly, their personal company JHA email addresses are pretty easy to find. I on the other...- adktitan

H3 Meet Impressions LA 8/18/2012 Thread
Looks like a nice meet, congrats to all who put the effort in: Regarding what I think was the DNA Sonett II amp; I read one quick impression earlier in the thread compared to the Stratus, but I am curious if anyone has any detailed or longer impressions of the amp, the value, design and/or...- adktitan

External DAC and headphone amp for iPhone
For that price (roughly 313.84$ USD) you have options. I would look to buy something (gently) used by a trusted head-fier. The Pico, TTVJ Slim, ibasso and many, many others can be found for your budget used, or if you want to buy new, there are options Im sure that fall in your range as well...- adktitan

Please recommend the ideal place to live in the U.S.
I have lived everywhere up and down the east coast from Vermont (check out Burlington or Essex Junction) to Mobile, Alabama. I finally settled on a town just outside Boston due to proximity to my wife's family. If I was in your shoes, with your filters, and considering anything on the east coast...- adktitan
