Well, here we go... new Schiit on the way!   My order hasn't shipped yet, but let's get a thread going for those who have received or will be receiving their M2s soon.     How do you like it? How does it compare?  Tubes vs LISST? Let's hear everyone's thoughts.   I'll be trying mine out...

I actually wasn't expecting it for a few days, so it was a bit of a surprise. The mailman rang the doorbell this morning and was waiting on my porch with a rather large box. At first, I thought it might be the Musiland DAC I ordered, but that's not due for a couple of weeks. The first thing...

I've been searching for equivalent tubes to the GU17's that are in the Eartube. So far, I've seen QQE03/12, RS1023, 6360, 8457 and 8458 mentioned. However, when I asked @ tubeworld about the 6360's, I was told that I should check again since the 6360 is not equivalent to the GU17, and I...

I'm looking to pick up some new tubes for a Corda Eartube, and have come across a couple of NOS 6385's from 11/64. I know most people talk about the 6385's from the 1950's, but does anyone have any experience with the 1960's tubes and how they'd compare to NOS 1950's or 1970/80's WES396A's...

Ok, first - sorry it took so damn long for me to scan this, things have been hectic lately. It's actually the schematic for the D-25/D-250, but I'm assuming it's mostly (if not entirely) the same. I've got the full schematic scanned in, it's huge. I had to scan it as a grayscale image and...

Everyone has their own version of "Maxed Out" for this amp, and this is my interpretation of a "Mostly Maxed Out" version. There's definitely more I could do with it, but right now it sounds pretty damn good. First, I decided to go with an outboard power supply instead of the rail...

I recently picked up a pair of DT-770s, and while I really like them, I couldn't stand the cable. It sounded ok, but the coil was too tight and short, so it was kind of a PIA when moving around. I ordered some of the Belden 8412 that Jan Meyer recommeded on his site, but found it a bit too...

I'm looking for a schematic for the D-25/D-250 discman. Does anyone know where to either buy the service manual / parts list or does anyone have one they'd be willing to scan the schematic and parts list of? I've tried partsolver - it's no longer available. I found a German company (through a...

The MouseAmp! Pictures at: Mike's MouseAmp Page Ok, so I did the CMoy in the Intel wireless base station enclosure ( http://www.richat.com/mhamel/photos/cmoy-v1/ )and it got me hooked on retrofitting fun enclosures. I figured the base station makes a good desktop amp, so why not use the...

Sort of my 2nd, actually... but my first *completed* one. The first one's got a more complex PS and I'm waiting for parts, so I built this today. Everything went very well - couple of stupid mistakes that took a few minutes with a meter and a good loud "Doh!" to resolve. it's all pretty much...
