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

    My preamp of choice was a Saga S. I had just moved into my first house and I wanted some 2.1 channel audio to celebrate. Since I already had a spare Modi 2 Uber, that meant I just needed some speakers, a Vidar, and a preamp. I liked the value proposition of the Saga S, and knew I probably...

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

    Looks like my desktop setup needs an upgrade. This means my TV setup would upgrade from a Modi 2 Uber to a Bimby. Overkill much? :ksc75smile:

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

    I stumbled upon Schiit by complete coincidence. I was looking for a small tube amp, and happened to find the Schiit website. I laughed so hard at the snark in the FAQ that I just had to buy a Modi and Magni (this was before the Vali 2 came out, which is the form factor I originally wanted). Now...

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

    I would be lying if I said the "Made in USA" didn't influence my decision to buy Schiit products. That being said, the primary reason I buy Schiit products now is because they sound good to me. The reason I initially bought my first piece of Schiit was because of Jason's snarky descriptions on...

    Just watched this interesting problem someone had with a Valhalla 2.

    Never underestimate a rabid schiit fan hellbent on getting some free schiit toilet paper. :ksc75smile: There has to be at least one out there.....

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

    I feel like the chance of someone going to the party just to snag as much toilet paper as they can (as a souvenir) is greater than 0%.

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

    My Lyr 2 makes for a really nice hand warmer in the cold Wisconsin winters. Sure the volume knob gets quite warm, but it's never been to the point where I'm worried.

    So what I'm seeing is some of you are eager for an Aegir. :ksc75smile: That's my pronunciation and I'm sticking to it.

    If I had $600 I'd jump on the first plane to Denver and get there just in time for the event to close for today.

    Maybe it's a tube vidar. :ksc75smile: That would run pretty hot....

    I would so buy one of those just for the novelty. That's hilarious.

    I love Plini. It's my go-to "chillax" music when I need to de-stress. Bought all the albums on bandcamp.

    Loki Mini Impressions

    If you turn the leftmost knob all the way to the right, you should definitely hear a MAJOR difference. As the others have said, make sure the switch on the front is up and that the LED is lit. If all else fails, email tech@schiit.com and they will take care of you.

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

    This is a really good example, thanks. Though I may be a little bit biased, because Like a Stone is one of my favorite songs from the high school / early college days.

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

    It's too bad Schiit can't make a pop filter that eliminates all garbage if you attempt to listen to it. Call it a (reverse?) trash-pass filter. Try to play Justin Bieber on your schiit? Muting relay engage! :ksc75smile: I'll see myself out now...

    Yeah, just email tech@schiit.com. They are usually pretty quick to respond.

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

    It's good to see more people seeing how awesome Loki really is. I still say it was the single best thing I added to my system. Even the upgrades from Modi 2 Uber to Modi Multibit to Bifrost Multibit to Bifrost Multibit with gen 5 pales in comparison to the immediate awesome Loki brought to my...

    Loki Mini Impressions

    I have a pair of Audeze EL-8s and they work extremely well with Loki. Loki is by far one of the best things I ever added to my system.

    I can't wait to see the difference between my current setup (Schiit Bifrost > Schiit Lyr 2 > Schiit Loki > Audeze EL-8) and the kannons. The combo of EL-8 + Loki is pretty amazing.

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

    Sorry to hijack any of the conversations here, but I want to thank Jason for making such a good product in Magni 3. I got one to bring on vacation instead of my bulkier Lyr 2 (and Bifrost), and it's done a pretty good job so far. It's driving my EL-8s without breaking a sweat. Also, it's so nice...

    I just use a really long USB cable to go from my computer to my gen 5 bimby. I think it sounds perfectly fine. Maybe it's the ferrite chokes in the cable :P

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

    I tried listening to my Audeze EL-8s with my Valhalla 2 and it wasn't really awesome. I then got a Lyr 2 and it's amazing. I'm curious to see how well my Magni 3 will handle the EL-8s. It's a much easier amp to travel with.

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

    I know Mike said the gadget wouldn't really work well with genres such as electronic, but I'm still excited to test it out anyway. I can't wait to buy one as soon as I can after it's out. I'm really looking forward to playing through most (if not all) of my CD collection to see how awesome it...
