I love that there are photos of the insides of Schiit's products on their website. Satisfies the desire to take the screws out and look inside. Looking at the Folkvangr interior photo, it's a little bit of a brain-bend to see surface mount components next to vacuum tube sockets on the same board. The juxtaposition of the ancient and new technologies is taking a bit of getting used to.
Think of the PCB stuff next to Tubes as being the circulatory system for the heart (and some might say, soul) of it all: The Tubes. The beautiful, glowing, tubes.

115 is the voltage.

They're starting to load up the burn rack.

I just noticed the holes for the tubes are kind of 'dished out' which gives it an interesting look (sorry for the lack of proper terminology)
Very nicely done @Jason Stoddard That is a very, very cool looking amp!

I believe it is going to be a mix of solutions and geographic shall play a vital role.
+1

I'll make sure we get one there.

Oh, and it'll be at the Texas Audio Roundup, as well.
Me and my HE-6 will see you there..

Looks like an internal (PCB) shot was added to the product page:

Opportunity lost: a couple more holes in the top plate and all those little capacitors could have been replaced by a pair of big Mundorfs staring at the tubes.

115 is the voltage.

They're starting to load up the burn rack.

No wonder it's storming here... Thank you, Schiit, we needed the rain.

I pity the poor employee(s) assigned to the burn rack room. It's gotta be akin to being inside a Napoletana pizza oven :D

Boy, am I glad that it's such a nice and cool day in Valencia. Oh, wait… 🤣



"Heat advisory" alright…
I wonder what the temp and forecast was BEFORE they fired up all the FVs in the burn rack? :D
