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

    The emails used to be the full content of the post (or at least the full content before any editing). Now, it's just the first line or so. Is there a way to go back to the old email format to receive all of the post in an email?

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

    Which shows are you listening to? I'm working my way through some Miller soundboards from the late 70s, although I have some mid 80s stuff queued up after that. I need to find some good Hornsby shows as well.

    Vali 2 tube rolling

    I wonder if they're 3D printed - I hope Deyan shows up to provide some info. It's really nice work.

    Vali 2 tube rolling

    In case you folks care, after some back-and-forth with garage1217 on the adapter, the Vali 2 is a bit of an edge case for some reason. He sent me a revised adapter which is working perfectly. For future reference, if you go this route, make sure you add notes to your order that you will be...

    Vali 2 tube rolling

    Ah, this might be my issue. Which configuration should I have requested? I assume config 2? Config 1: Pins 4 and 5 on the 9 pin side can be joined for use adapting a 6sn7 to say a 6dj8 socket or a 12sn7 series to a true 12.6v socket such as a 12au7 which does not utilize the center tap Config...

    Vali 2 tube rolling

    @Keno18, I found that out when I started trying to figure out how to make it work. I got a couple of the tubesaver adapters. What 6SN7 adapters do you folks recommend, if you haven't used the Garage1217 one?

    It appears that at least 2 of the tubes I got are functional (I found a shop in town that can test tubes). My next question is on the adapter. I got one of these...

    These aren't rolling blackouts - PG&E turned off their power completely due to high winds outside the valley areas. Expectations are that power will be turned back on tomorrow sometime, but depending on what happens when the switch is flipped, folks could be without power for another day to 5 days.

    Vali 2 tube rolling

    Sorry if this has been brought up before. Is there any way to test tubes without an emission tester or other type of tube tester? If not, are there any recommendations for a tube tester that would be functional in the $100 range? I got 4 Fotons off of eBay that I think were dead to begin...

    Is it the Tool or is it the Unison? And why aren't you running Fear Inoculum through it? :smile_phones:

    Is it the purple or the metal sleeving? That sleeving had a great effect on the other colors as well, based on your pictures.

    Someone will hopefully come in and correct me where I'm wrong, but I think it's essentially a Fulla 2 with the addition of a microphone input, based on what Jason said.

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

    I believe Jason was comparing Hel (the "prototype" gaming project) to Fulla in terms of output. Where did you see the new Fulla announcement?

    I hope your health continues to improve, Mike. Maybe it would be worth looking into a voice dictation program for your computer, so that you can dictate your emails rather than type them?

    All of it is chilled. Very rarely, someone may make a cask-conditioned ale that is kept at "room temperature", but room temperature in California (or Ableza's Arizona) is radically different than England. Some places may have different cooler boxes for different beers, but for the most part...

    The version I recall from the TV show Justified is “If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.”

    Maybe it's a Southern Hemisphere version of the Freya to minimze the coriolis effect? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Sorry to keep beating this drum, but why do you have your signal path set up like that?

    Good point; I did see discussion about the Loki and using it between the preamp and amp in order to equalize all sources. I don't understand, though, why you would want a DAC downstream of the preamp.

    Why would you want a DAC downstream of the preamp? As I understand it, the preamp is the last in line before the amp.
