I can see it now...a Country & Western group...The Schiitkickers!

The Dixie Schiits.

The Dixie Schiits.

To be honest I prefer the 'The Schiitkickers'. +1 from me

On a similar subject, my wife, bless her, was looking at old classic southern sayings, (moonshine and such) anyway getting back on topic: "that guy was so full of Schiit 'ya could give 'em an enema and bury him in a shoe box!"



(insert troll's name) ....... .aaand....

How has this wise saying escaped me for 6 decades?

If you had already seen/heard everything, what reason would there be to keep moving forward?

Keep on keepin' on, Pandahead!

How about an updated Vali 3 in 2018 based off magi3 amp section or a Lyr 3 based off the Jot?

You can't really base a tube amp off of a solid state amp. Vali and Lyr are tube amps. Magni and Jot are SS. Jot is a very flexible product and not in the Lyr space.

Vali and Lyr (tubed) are hybrids, maybe domes is thinking of having the output stages from the mentioned SS amps as the outputs of the hybrids?

There's no real advance on Vali 2--it already uses a unique current-feedback stage that is designed for a tube front-end and does not require interstage coupling capacitors. It's a really neat topology, and already has the advantages of a current-feedback approach.

Now, throwing a whole lot of money at a Vali 2, to address the limitations of its current architecture (that are not addressable due to size, heat, or budget constraints) is a whole 'nother thing, and I'm sure we'll take a look at that. No guarantee it'll become a product, though. We still have to see how it performs, and how it sounds.

Early on, Mike processed some tracks to demonstrate what The Gadget did, and gave them to me (and a few others) as files. It's possible we could do this again, but (I think) we'd have to actually go through the ASCAP licensing, if the demo tracks were going to be widely available. It's best to ask Mike about this on his thread, maybe we can make this happen.

Finally! Who cares about copyright on youtube? They'll pay the owners on their end, otherwise you might as well use royalty-free music?

Thank you Jason! Just thought it would be a cool product but of course had no idea of the feasibility. I have an Asgard 2 and recently upgraded to Modi Multibit from Modi 1, which are awesome. The Eitr will be next purchase for me. You guys are the best.

No worries. Like I said, we play with lots of stuff, it's just that a lot of them don't make it to production. (Mainly because they aren't worth it.) Vali 2 is a design I looked at just a little while ago, with the thought of going to split rails to eliminate the output coupling capacitor. But the way Vali 2's topology works, you're just opening a whole giant can of worms if you do that (mainly due to operating points.) As with most things, there are ways around it, but they're not feasible at Vali 2's size and cost.

Ahem. Since we are talking about possible future products, I'd like to put in a request for a Balance control on the forthcoming, fully-balanced Equalizer. Pretty please. With sugar on top. It would make everything just exactly perfect. Thank you.

Jason,

While the thread seems to be about people's wish lists at the moment, is there any chance that you might change the programming of your devices to use a USB connector rather than the RJ-45 jack currently used to allow the end user to perform updates from home?

Why not just use the RJ-45? Adapters are cheap and serial AICs are cheap too if you don't have a legacy system laying around.

Noooo!!!!! Don't touch my platinum cables with golden connectors.
It's a part of my me.
