Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Jun 18, 2018 at 1:53 PM Post #33,781 of 150,578
I helped one gentleman with an eight monitor setup so he could watch eight screens at one time, six hours a day or so. He does that in retirement. Life is too short for that lol. I do things like buy NXP at $20 a share and wait a few years till Apple uses their chips then got out at $110 when he who shall remain nameless began jacking around with tariffs and Broadcom.

Getting back on track though, I have heard nothing but good things about the Freya so I will get one once I get some speaker amps completed.

I would really drool at the mouth for a true balanced HP amp built around a 2 tube 6SN7 design. I suspect a Freya case could easily accommodate it and given that only 1/2 of each tube is needed I wonder if there could actually be 2 balanced outputs (triode half A's and Triode half B's from each tube to run 2 stereo channels) run simultaneously or at least switchable by, well, a switch! Of course it could also pull double duty as a preamp and have an option for built in phono card or DAC. (We may have to go to a Rag sized case).

Blue VU meters, ala Dyna 400, optional!!!
I love schiit, its not just good sound, its good fun too, LOL!

I like blue or white vu meters with silver or black but amber with copper or brass and real wood.

I may have to do two versions of my solid state amps and eventually tube monoblocks.

You best hope Schiit makes your dream amp for you cause there are not enough hours in the day for me to take that on lol.

I knew a guy with a similar multi-monitor set up. Into sports betting big time he was.

You have to be paying for is somehow. I am not opposed to an occasional poker game but I rarely gamble for a lot, the stock market is risky enough when a tweet can affect the trading so much!

Now I hope @sublime9 picks up the ORT-meter after seeing ORT is back.
I'm getting one and I as a child so thrilled.

Yep, this hobby is supposed to be about having fun as well as listening to music. Love that new toy smell I do.

I would have to be betting on the games to do that and I rarely gamble.

I'm with you on that, when I use to come out to Wisconsin and fish for walleye with my brother and friends up north we would always hit one of the casinos up near Boulder Junction for 1 night, but I still believe the best way to double my money is to fold it in half and put it back in my wallet. So I can spend it on audio bling-bling!

So do I (lack the temperament) and the researching is super boring to me.
