... east of Cheticamp ... We picked ... wild strawberries off the hillside with the moose's...
Better half has moose on the bucket list. Is this the place to go?

I still use my Chtulu at work! I did drop it on the ground at one point and the cover came off, but duct tape does a good job of keeping it together, and letting it power my Eitr, Modi Multibit, Loki, Magni stack
It's Cthulhu so the uglier the better. More duck tape, in various colors! Some rubber cement at strategic points, a few wires straggling out for no apparent reason.

The Incubus is being personally transported by me in a shockproof and bulletproof container I bought at a NASA yard sale. I considered hiring Brinks, but the cost was considerably higher than the bribe I would have to pay you to make a replacement. :smile:
Well I am not cheap but I can be bought. 😜 I would just have to wait to see if Confederate bitcoins are recognizable in the Northern states.

IMO, Eitr was one of the best products Schiit ever made. ...

Please bring back a new Eitr! It absolutely rocked for the price. ...
An Eitr with multiple USB inputs would be cool.

Here's a pretty random question for the peanut gallery:

I've got a Lyr+ and a Valhalla 2 sitting in their boxes. Which should I get out and try first? :)
That would depend upon your headphones.

Come on. We all know that is really a pic of Rasputin. :rolling_eyes:
Dr Strange (which fits :wink: ) minus Eye of Agamotto?

Actually, maybe I should update my avatar with that....

Whoever invented duct tape probably made at least the cash prize that's associated with a Nobel, and did so many, maaaaaany times over. So, I think they're doing just fine in terms of recognition… 🤣
Well, without the name recognition. Unless it was a Mr/Mrs/Dr Duct?

Yup. Lots of moose from Inverness through to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. More towards, and including, the park.

One nitpicky point about the whole Aegir 2 experience, now that I have moved it into my office system:

It'd be nice if, when you placed an Asgard on top of it to use as a preamp, the rubber feet of the Asgard sat on the frame of the Aegir and not the heatsink. 😁
It just encourages you to put better/taller feet on and slightly inside the originals. This has been an issue with Vidar and Aegir OG as well.

...and the On-walls are easy to install. You just put them on the wall.

I am totally happy with this setup in my office. Sometimes, I forget to work. :p

I am considering something similar, but worlds tallest pedestals instead of wall mount. 😜
LOVED my old triple monitor setup, and considering that as a priority as listening distracts from working too much. New 34 or 38 inch displays with virtual monitors sound interesting and may leave enough room for better near field speaker setup...multibit asgard + ghorn + kef q150 is in house - but Yggy GS2 "filling in" until the big rig gets setup (Vandy 2 with amp TBD).

Standing desk shopping after spring break, as currently on a 6' folding outdoor table. 🤣

Good question. You should take them both out and A/B test them. I run a MM2 > Lyr3 > Aegir OG > Zu Omen IIs and would love a little more tubiness so I am waiting for Valhalla 3 to come out to see how it sounds. I don't have room for a Freya+ and don't think the Saga+ sounds as good as the Lyr3 so looking for something else. May have to go off the reservation and find some non Schiity preamp instead but Jason said the V3 would be based off the FV so I am waiting to hear how it sounds before doing so.
