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

    Wowza! How did Schiit manage to fit Unison USB on the same board and small Modi chassis?

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

    Anything on the Schiit rumor roadmap for a lower power, lower cost Vidar? I have a Lyr 3, which I like a lot and use with amplified speakers with a desktop computer setup when not using headphones. Been thinking about using passive bookshelves instead and Vidar seems overkill power wise and...

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

    Is Unison a one and done platform type thing for next 10 years or could there be further improvements being worked to have firmware updates or 2-3 years a Unison 2.0 release that would warrant new cards, etc.

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    I will probably won’t be able to resist and get some type pour over setup in the future as well such as V60 or Kalita wave. Not very expensive and good for the small batches, why not?

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    I found the Select to appealing as has improved water dispenser, certified for half pot unlike the other models and also has 10 year warranty. My wife and I finish off a full pot in morning but I have days I need a batch in the afternoon so hoping the half pot feature is nice improvement...

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    I have a Bonavita and even though it makes a decent cup the carafe was infuriating as could never get it completely empty. I picked up a Moccamaster KB recently and way better cup. I am totally sold on it though I admit I have never tried pour over. I did return it unfortunately as the metal...

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    Gone is my disappointment in a Ken Rad I recently picked up. After several more hours of use, it sounds awesome. Now I wish I had a second as backup.

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    After listening to the Ken Rad further I am little dissppointed as the soundstage is a bit diffused. I am not hearing placement of instruments nor a solid focus of vocals in middle. This is more noticeable when listening with my amplified speakers instead of headphones. Maybe this will...

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    Got the Ken Rad today and been listening for a couple of hours. The bass is definite plus and need to keep turning the volume down because I keep turning it up!

    Hifiman Sundara (HE400i upgraded, around $500)

    Thanks for this comparison. I picked up the Sundara a few days ago and have been enjoying them. But can’t help but think about the Ananda prompted a bit by the round ear cup vs the ear shaped cup comfort difference and possible jump in sound quality.

    Is this a D getter? Looks more like a square getter. Is there such a thing?

    Still reading thread, which is just great and seemed the right next move while waiting for the Ken Rad is I bought two 1958 Fotons on eBay from el-rayder. Over a month wait but for $12 I can wait.

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    Reading part of this 268 page thread the last two days has got the best of me. I gave up on finding a WH D getter for now and just bought a Ken Rad VT-231 black glass from Brent Jesse. I will have to be patient as he mentioned he is behind on getting orders shipped out as it seems everyone is...

    Is it just the GTB version that is the WH holy grail version or is GTA just as good? This one is available for $10 more. https://tubeworldexpress.com/products/6sn7gta-westinghouse-usa-black-plates-d-getter-halo-nos-1957

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    I must have been early in the woods on the Sundara thread when I saw that. Thanks for the info! I am starting to think I really don't have the WH you are referring to and the Brimar model with the adapter is an option I didn't even know was possible.

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    I am in the mood for change and just bought the Sundara as decided to finally buy a 2nd pair of phones besides my HD600s. I have a Westinghouse and have been using with my Lyr3 but was never able to determine if it is a real one. The box it came in stated relatron. If it isn't one, still...

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

    Wow! What a great Schiit day! I was not expecting a Bifrost 2! Great chapter on the explanation and I laughed out loud on this part... “Then why didn’t you say something?” “You were all-fired on killing all upgradability, what am I gonna say?” Mike asked. “I knew you’d come around...

    My Westinghouse Reliatron is starting to turn the corner after 24 hours. I heard it start to open up in the middle of one track and begin to improve. Looks like I just need to continue to be patient. :)

    Thanks for your review! I am going to try some rubber footers for the bottom of the Lyr to help with microphonics and also keep burning in the Westinghouse.

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    Maybe I don’t have a Raytheon but a GE. These are 2 photos of the “Raytheon” It still sounds good just crazy microphonic. I thought at first maybe something wrong with the lyr until I put in the Schiit stock tube.

    Schiit Lyr 3 Tube rolling thread.....

    I am new to the Lyr3 and new to tubes but finally managed to jump into the boat!! I happened to snag a nos Westinghouse 6SN7GTB with top D getter and black plates from tctubes.com that came in a box with Westinghouse Reliatron printed on one side. I hope this is the one others have mentioned...
