BTW, have you tried the NOS mode yet? By holding the button about 3 seconds, and then release, and the indicator light will slowly beging to pulse bright/dark? What do you think of the NOS sound?

Yes, the pattern you described is the normal startup process. You're good!

The firmware upgrade process has a slightly different light flashing pattern than the routine startup pattern. For example, If I am not mistaken, all the lights flash on and off together at a certain point in the upgrade process. Are you leaving the upgrade MicroSD card inside the Bifrost?

Bought a MicroSD card and installed 8/11/22 firmware on my BF2 OG to get access to the NOS mode. I was skeptical I would like NOS mode, based preliminary impressions here, and my general skepticism of people's tendency to always see new/different as better. Also, I've been quite satisfied with...

Withdrawing sale. Item going into storage due to a move and wont be available for a while.

I bought @duranxv 's Aries. First listening impressions are very positive. Very close to the sound stage height and width of the ZMF Pendant SE tube amp, which says a lot! Regarding changes for a mk2 version... 1. Ditto on the remote 2. I didnt think I would like the touch screen but I do 3...

I just picked up a Sparkos Aries SS headamp/preamp, which was said to be the recommended SS amp by Zach in the 2021 era. Question about variations of using Sparkos Aries and Pendant SE in the same chain: Today I tried Bifrost 2 DAC > RCA > Aries (as preamp) > RCA > Pendant SE, which was cool...

Sale is pending to freeryder05.

PM sent.

None of the above sold today. Therefore I am withdrawing this ad. Thank you for your interest.

One day sale only - today Friday 4/22. Local pickup only in Arlington, VA. I am packing for moving tomorrow and these items haven't been used in months and will otherwise go into storage. Unless, long shot, a local buyer wishes to buy them. Silver Schiit Vali 2 w/ oem tube - $120 Silver Schiit...

This one sentence ...! I wish Schiit had this on their site or in their manuals. Seems like a design oversight, unless they had a good performance reason to go that route.

Hey all. An update is overdue but in case anyone learns from my experience: 1. Schiit sent a replacement BF2, but the problem persisted. 2. Further research on Schiits website led to me finding a FAQ to try a USB powered hub. 3. Problem solved, the connection between my phone and BF2 is no...

Is it just me, or does retiring the original Autuer and calling the updated one the 'Classic' seem counter intuitive?

To the degree that its possible, can you say what percentage increase the sound stage width grows from BF2 to LIM?

Black wears off, so that is a no go for me personally. I like new copper, but I find the patina can hit and miss for my tastes. Had the Rose Gold been available when I ordered that would have been my choice.

@zach915m I dont see any way to order BE pads on the Pads webpage.

Congrats, very nice pair. As much as I love the aesthetic of my Olive Wood w/ mag chassis, at 555 grams it does have me wondering from time to time if I should have gone the Monkey Pod or Sappelle route. Zach I'd be curious to know what is the lightest wood you have ever considered for VC? A...

The M1060C was a bass slam monster. Ill be interested to see how these new Closed models turn out.

In August I asked Justin at Ampsandsound to help me understand how the Pendant SE would compare to his other amps in that price range and here is what he told me: "The pendant is the most neutral with most air and space. The Forge is the most powerful and has great tube rolling. The Kenzie 2...

Zach, in the purchase menus your site now shows BE^2 Solid as the recommended additional pads for Verite Closed models. Previously it was the Universe Lambskin solid. Have your thoughts changed on the pads?

So I ordered this, and this happened: Shipped internationally in an envelope, in a wad of paper?? Surprisingly, the tube was not broken. Also, its not a foil getter is it? Can someone post a good picture of a "foil" so i know what to look for?

FYI Justin at ampsandsound advised it may work but sound really bad, and is not advisable.

Excited about both Spatial Audio M4 and seeing and hearing LTA's excellent amps. Thanks for the update!

General question: Can you run headphones out of both 8 and 100 ohm taps at the same time?
