Hey, I got one of the reaaaally bad keyboards Apple made in 2018; they had to swap it for a new one literally five times. :( All points fair, was just wondering.

Sorry to hear that. Was it resolved? I'm wondering if we should preemptively ask Schiit whether sending a batch of units for preemptive fixing is a good idea.

Ah yes, forgot to mention that as well. Mine do the same. They lit in a different way than others.

I just got a pair of these (it took a while for them to arrive in Canada, but the person at AudioZomba was always very responsive), and WOW, I agree with the brightness and separation assessment. Though every time I roll tubes, my reaction is, "wow, this is awesome" (even when I replaced my...

Ah, I blame my cat(s) Thank you so much for the responses!!

Well, something really funny happened today. One of my 6N6Ps "lost" its getter. It looks just like that: entirely clear on the top. Upon turning the unit on, as perhaps expected, I don't see it lighting up. I guess that it lost its vacuum. People who know about tubes. Is this a thing...

OH MY GOD! Is this why I can't find any more Fotons in stock anywhere? 🤣 (pssst, let me know if you want to get rid of 8 :))

I just spent some hours listening to my Freya+, fresh from the courier this morning. I mostly compared it to my Lyr 3 to decide which one I wanted to keep; what I can tell you is that, to my ears (and with the headphones I tried, which are a set of Klipsch HP-3), the FV is quite superior to both...

I hope they don't either. I hope I'm done searching for tubes I (But hey, let me know if they do, I've become a bit of a masochist since I started going down this road)

I received my pair of BEL E88CC's from Brent Jessee today. They're equivalent (identical, even) to the Holland Amperex PQ type 6922's. I think I'm set for 6N1P-like tubes (I have two pairs of the "Rockets" and a pair of Mullard's) What I can tell you is that, at this point, all sound great, and...

Sorry to hear that too! Let us know what happens

I might soon. I have a Lyr 3 for my gaming rig, loved the sound, and now I'm wondering if a Freya+ isn't better suited for it (more tube and power for my loudspeakers), ordered a set of 4 matched Sylvania 6SN7GTBs, and once they're here I'll give the Freya+ a try for a week before deciding if I...

They're very different to my ears. The Lyr is quite forgiving and always provides an enjoyable experience. Nice separation and clarity, rich treble, moderate (yet sufficient) lows. I have it connected to a gaming console (via a Bifrost) and I like how it enhances the presentation of my games...

I've bought so much Schiit in the last months. Went from having just an Yggy to a Bifrost > Lyr 3 for my gaming rig, and the FV for my music listening rig. Quite satisfied! My stash of tubes is suspiciously starting to grow. Don't know when that started to happen. Though I wonder if anyone...

Did you note any difference? I'm getting a pair of Mullards, just because I'm curious :)
