If it helps i have a 230VAC Lyr 3. I got tired of waiting for the Schiit EU site to get stock so bought direct from Schiit US. Number on back is 03300124.
Bottom doesn't depress at ll, and no channel loss.
After I got back to them and described the problem in more detail they offered to take
It back on warranty.
It occurred to me that there is the possibility that it might be a transport issue. The amp sits well cushioned in the box, but the European power cord has a larger/thicker plug to the wall outlet than the US one, and the cord was placed under the amp in the box. Only thing between the cord plug and the amp is just a layer of cardboard and not much room to spare. If the box is handled roughly and lands/is hit in the bottom the cord plug could transfer the force right to the bottom of the amp.. for other amps this might not be a problem, but the Lyr3 has heat sinks attached to the bottom that must be in contact with components on the circuit board, doesn’t it?
Glad to hear it. Hopefully they’ll look into it enough to figure out the cause. Far cheaper to fix a problem before it occurs than to fix under warranty.
Well My Lyr arrived at Schiit today (mail from AK takes a while) they immediately responded that they got it and I should hear back in a few days. What I would call great customer service so far. Probably won’t ship until next week (being thanksgiving this week), but I’m stoked to be getting it back. Really miss the sound.

Cool. Hopefully it's back in your hands quickly. And at least you didn't blow it up yourself by sticking in an untested tube you got on Ebay from a seller in Elbonia with a 27% feedback rating. Won't mention who did that 'cause I don't want to embarrass @Ripper2860 .
A slight exaggeration based on fantasy and speculation. Sure, blame the tube, it's not like a component has ever failed and taken out a tube that was playing fabulously hours before. Someone's jealous that I got a new left channel resistor and servo and they didn't.

My home office is finally redone with a nice shelf for audio gear and bookshelves for way too many books. Here's the testbench: Lyr 3 on the left, with a just-started-to-burn-in Sylvania two-hole Bad Boy, in the middle the Apex Peak with the Psvane 6SN7-SE, a backwards-connected SYS to allow me to switch between the two amps stacked on the Peak, and on the right a stack of a Metrum Onyx DAC and a Metrum Ambre streamer. Storage cabinets under the bookshelves have room for a good 6SN7 collection Under the shelf, you may spy power cables going to a Furman power conditioner, and the Peak's DC power cable going to its Volcano LPS.

My tolerance for software updates isn't what it used to be either. Friggin' Firefox. Last update has caused several things to stop displaying. Used to love Firefox, but the (almost) weekly updates that cause at least something to work differently or stop functioning altogether have exhausted my patience. Uninstalled. And end of rant.
Sweet setup! Love the cutout in the back for the cords to drop through.
Are those AVC or Mapleshade footers/isolation blocks stacked up in the back? I bought a set of the AVS ones a couple years ago and IIRC they were $40/8. I see they're now $80/8. Must have gotten popular....

Yes, the cutout was planned that way. I got the isolation blocks but I can't remember where a few years ago to improve ventilation between stacked Schiit. As my gear changed, I've adopted them for separating signal cables from power cables.
In Lyr-ish news, that 2-hole Bad Boy sounds pretty nice in the Lyr 3 after only 24h of burn-in. A tad rough in the mids still, but good space, bass impact, and treble extension for orchestral music. Gotta listen to some jazz now...
