Neither of those are very friendly if you don't kiss the arse of the owners and mods.

Not my experience. ASR will kick you off for arguing with the "establishment". SBAF will not (though thick skin is a requirement lol).

 

[Rensek]

From what I can see, SBAF discusses most of the topics talked about on this thread....

But.... and its a big but...... God help you if you talk about an off topic subject on a thread....They really really really want their threads to stay on topic. So they have many threads, and rooms, and channels.

And thats cool, I enjoy both sites.

Someone mentioned that on Friday, but when I looked at the FAQs for what I wanted to use it for, it said that you can use it for 2 Amps but why not use a Y Splitter. If it is better all the way around to use a SYS I can just order that. The FAQ threw me off

I use it both ways, though they say to keep the pot all the way up in reverse.
I prefer it as it prevents explosions from both amps being on at the same time.

I’ve never soldered or modded. I think I’d like to purchase a Modi Multibit 1 someday and try mods available for it. Any suggestions on where to start learning and on soldering setup?

I can’t say my hands are the most steady, but I could still see how soldering goes

Go to schiit dot com, products, accessories schwag, COASTERS.

Did that Onkyo have the "opto coupling"? Their marketing guys should have won awards for that. Their engineers, not so much.

no opto coupling on mine… what kind of hack was that!?

 

[NigelJ]

…Figured starting with the basics was an okay suggestion

My comment was not intended to disagree with a useful video you had recommended. I was more thinking about the fact that he was wanting to modify a Modi Multibit, with SMT, as his first modding project and not thinking enough about his overall lack of experience.

Electrical tape is your friend here, tape red around each of the three connectors on one Y splitter, and white around each of the three connectors on the other Y splitter. I have done this on the non-split non-coloured RCAs from my amp as well, makes it very easy to move things around without having to worry about any L/R switchage.

I use heat shrink tubing for the same purpose as well as to hold cotton braid in place on fancier cables. Often adhesive lined. For keeping track of wires I use paint pens, it helps with eight wire braids like this one for @Evelyn Marie.

It's the Urd Mentality...

Of course you realize that some of us are waiting diligently for your full review of Urd in that beautifully organized system of yours.

I do like a certain Nuclear Robert, or if I want to read posts on why people shouldn’t have posted.

Within the constraints of your NDA, of course.

Wait. They had him sign a No Digital Audio agreement before they sent him an URD? Is he only allowed to look at it?

I do believe you are correct, what I was talking about yesterday was thirty year old gear, nothing that might compete with current Schiit products. When I ran a DAC comparison not long ago Jason asked for the results and I only gave those out privately. I made sure two Schiit DACS were included and I mentioned one did very well. Some time back I ran a tube experiment with @bcowen and helped Jason do something similar in a shoot out. He has a very open mind and respects other product IMHO. I do try to respect the fact that this thread is about Schiit products so I feel more comfortable talking about speakers or turntables since they are not on the Schiit product list. I may do an amp comparison down the road and see who can discern which amps are tube and which are solid state and that would be easy to talk about since it might only boil down to how many each person got correct and which amps tended to fool people.

I think too, to clarify my earlier statement, discussion is likely OK but if anyone wants specific and detailed info, and a back and forth on other products, better results could probably be had in more specific fora. (Or not )

I’m not fully sure. I had asked someone what DACs they like paired with the Magni Piety and a modded Mimby was mentioned but the mod portion wasn’t elaborated on

@StimpyWan
I have more info now. These are the mods that someone else did and I was interested in finding out what differences they make and so on.
3 Modi Multibit 1s:

1. v1.1 with (2) 2156 I/V (U17 & U18) and (1) 1656 Servo (U20) need new FW

2. v1.1 with (2) 2156 I/V (U17 & U18) and (1) TL082 Servo Change TL082 to 1656 need new FW

3. v1.0 with (2) 1656 I/V (U17 & U18) and (1) TL082 Servo Change TL082 to 1656 need new FW

All of this is foreign to me except for understanding need new FW means need new firmware

There are other forums on Head-Fi?

I guess there may be, but this is where all the cool kids hang out...
