That doesn't seem surprising, but then I'm not a fan of George Thorogood. But, that's on me.

I wasn't asking about Hypex amp modules, I was asking about switching supplies. Sure, they have a similar operating principle, but good switching supplies offer a lot more to various circuits. Manley is using them with nearly all of their new products, including their very best mics and micpres. Given Jason's recent statement about the Tyr's weight, it's probably a linear supply. One reason I'm curious about the Tyr is to see whether any Continuity circuit, switchable (meaning bias currents in Continuity) or not, is included.

I recommend not trying to redesign Schiit products. Wait for them and then either buy or don't. Simple, really. If you want a Manley buy one.

But where else will you find another turntable with a VU meter?

The thing I wonder about is that I don't think Nagra has ever produced a turntable before. Nobody ever gets a new type of product completely right the very first time.

Given ORT's quest for gear with VU meters, imagine his dismay when Nagra priced this $2000 above his absolute limit for annual audio spending. Sigh.

I'm not either. The tickets were a gift, but KWS made slogging through GT all worth it!!

I've been into audio for 45 years and the Nagra is well over my total lifetime expenditure to date in audio gear! I hope to live long enough to have spent $175,000. (Tubes not included)

Considering current prices, tubes can be a sound investment especially if you collect on the level of an @bcowen, well some of his tubes anyway. Oh and I landed a 1957 solid plate Melz 1578 type, so I am nearly done with that series unless I locate a 1955, if one exists.

It's funny how the focus is always on price when discussing the high-end. It is not for the vast majority of audio lovers, it is for a very few who find value in that level of product/spending and exclusivity... it's like buying a Bentley. It's not for most people, nor is it intended to be....

That's why companies like Schiit exist: to make high quality products that ARE affordable for most people.

I've seen KWS in concert, so a must-have for me. ORDERED!!

I'm officially jealous.

I was very sad with the untimely death of Stevie Ray Vaughan many years ago, but along have come others. None will ever replace him, but many (like KWS) have talent that runs as deep.

Ever tried these? They have round plates. Not sure if they'll blow up the Incubus until I try it.

...climbing back up the Schiit Sine Wave curve a couple of weeks: while we were discussing favorite science fiction novels I bought a copy of Between the City and the City by China Mieville. I'm finished with it now. If any Schiit-head would like my copy please send me a PM and I'll send it to you.

I have not tried one but they have the look of a 6SL7. Try it in your Dark Voice first just to be safe, not much to lose if you blow it up. It may even improve the sound.

I own it, how did you like it? My wife is re-reading it and likes it much better than she first thought when we read it with a sci-fi group.

I knew it as The City and the City, maybe the title was changed.

BTW, we need more pictures of Elma, please!

After I sold the Elac, Elma has been doubling as a subwoofer.

She also loves carrying her toys everywhere.

Given Jason's recent statement about the Tyr's weight, it's probably a linear supply.

The reason for Tyr's weight is that in addition to the power transformer, it also has an equally large and heavy choke transformer. Jason has talked about it several times and showed it in a SchiitrMeet video (find it on YouTube).

For me Nagra will always be the company that made the supremely awesome mini reel-to-reel tape recorder.

I'm in a class all by myself.

Does that mean you're classless? Or is that priceless? Always difficult to tell.
