Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Have you tried a 6F8G (with an adaptor) to replace the 6SN7? It looks like it could be a cool swap, especially with the wire that exits the adaptor to connect to the top cap. I have also been looking for 6SN7 replacements that cost (at least a bit) less, and it appears that the 5692 is a direct...- dstrimbu

Which Aryas do you have, Tom? Also, do any of you Schiitizens have experience with the Aryas versus the Focal Clears? Not like I need another set of 'phones, that is... :)- dstrimbu

That's my experience. It's dry, hot and windy here now; I can take any of those scenarios in stride, but when the three of them gang up... we get our go-bags packed and keep the gas tank full. https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents- dstrimbu

Hear, hear. I have a matched pair in the tube buffer. They add just the right amount of euphony, situated between the line preamp and the Tyr-en.- dstrimbu

Ahhhhrg, so frustrated... I was supposed to be out of town on 28 June, man. That trip was rescheduled last Friday, and I forgot to check. Looking at EventTickets, crazy prices. I will check the Uptown's site. Thank you for the reminder!!!- dstrimbu

Not to defend Darko, but I think that my experience reflects what he might be saying... you can't count on furniture and carpets to properly tune a room. To do that, you need correctly sized and located absorbers and diffusers. Once the room is properly tuned, furniture and carpets / rugs will...- dstrimbu

Ohhhh... Martin Denny! I listened to "Quiet Village" many times as a kid. My mom and dad had a wall-mount Sylvania AM-FM-Phono system with a swing-down record changer. We listened to music every night at bed-time... probably the reason that I'm so into music today. When I was half as old as I...- dstrimbu

Yeah Tom I know that there is a place and a time for all gear if you truly love music. Well, maybe not ALL gear, there's that cardboard schitt that Bill is hawking, along with his $64 PvW. I am well acquainted with the JBL Charge series, esp. the larger versions, and they sound great in many...- dstrimbu

Dude... let me tell you... I tried. Their previous music system was an iPad sending free Spotify to a JBL Bluetooth speaker, so... massive upgrade. The system is downstairs in their family room, and they generally do the L.I.A.R. thing on the mid-level of the house, so it essentially a mono...- dstrimbu

Believe it or not, my brother-in-law Mark (who lives in Valparaiso) is driving two pair of Bose 301 Series IIs, stacked, with a pair of OG Vidar monoblocks and a OG Freya w/LISST. They sound remarkably good. I know, I wouldn't have believed it either, if I hadn't heard them...- dstrimbu
