Sam! You're a genius! Perhaps I should start looking to you for guidance instead of @Paladin79 .

There's no reason why you cannot look to @sam6550a for advice and continue looking to @Paladin79 for handouts.

This all looks so fabulous

You have not seen my work with a wood chisel yet.

lol Bill did come through with some fine bourbon, I did open the package with some trepidation though. Belvedere does make vodka.

So I've been rotating through the different free trials on the streaming sites and today marks day 1 of Qobuz.

I gotta say that it sounds the best off the rip I think!

About as good as the storage space she wants me to rent so I can pay monthly to store a bunch of stuff we'll never use or have a need for again.

That is what dumpsters are for. However, if you have any of those nasty GE 6550A valves, I could haul them off for you.

I suspect @sam6550a helped him pick it out, but Bill being the 'frugal' type may have gone a different route. You might want to have the royal taster give it a try before you bestow your accolades. I suspect it is really a Chinese forgery.

Wholeheartedly agree. And I think it is also the wide variety of topics and experiences and anecdotes that keep it fun and interesting. As @artur9 noted, there are component-specific threads on Head-Fi for (probably) everything Schiit has ever made that are more focused. But none of them as enjoyable and none I look forward to reading as much as this one.

Wait! You READ this thread?! Thought your MO was WRITE-ONLY. Oh man... Read and Respond? Sounds like work.

I recall having a teacher named Miss Fox. When she got married we all still called her Miss Fox. She was quite beautiful. To keep it on topic as requested by a new member, Miss Fox was The Schiit. Made in America with quality parts and engineering.

... and if one needed a manual, one was hopeless ...

 

[Ableza]

sounds like the energy over at superbest

more tools than a workbench over there

the irony of the name lol

Every of thread is jello of this thread.

The Thread of Kings

This thread is a fully loaded Chicago dog. Others are Vienna sausage on saltine cracker.

Aye!

This thread is the equivalent of Schiit's Super Mega Combo Burrito Filter

 

[Ripper2860]

Without the FILTER, that is.

 

[docBliny]

Do you honestly think Bill's wife knows where the breaker box is in the garage?

Should we be worried that YOU know where it is???

 

[Slackaveli]

Without the FILTER, that is.

it's a filterless super filter

Didn’t really need it, but I ordered a Vali 2++ at the discounted price. I did some listening at the Schiitr a while back and really liked sound of the Vali 2++ over the Valhalla. The Valhalla sounds great and I might be tempted to get the current or next version at some point, but what I am looking for is something that sounds VERY tubey. Beethoven’s 9th sounded really delicious on it. I suppose I could have gone with a Vali 3 (It wasn’t available then) but I don’t want something that is too “improved” to the point where I’m not getting the sound I was hearing on the 2++. (I’ll listen to the 3 next time I run up to Newhall)
