Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

yay, redacted.

I really missed the Mjolnir's elegant form factor when I replaced it with the behemoth that is the Ragnarok. An SS/tube Mjolnir is an instant buy. It'll be pitted against the Liquid Carbon whenever mine gets shipped. GG Schiit. GG.

Just got my Ragnarok this week and no regrets but my engineer mind must know more about theses solid state tubes. I'm curious to see how they perform in these amps.

 

[Hardwired]

Yeah, I wonder if they're tunable?

 

[jjacq]

Haha called it, Ragnarok and Yggdrasil Jr. That mjol makes me wish I had gotten that instead of the LC but who says I can't have both .

I wonder if they just meant the less common metal tubes instead of glass tubes? That's kind of what they look like.

Banner posted a couple after the pic of the tubes says "Lisst solid state tubes also compatible with Lyr 2"  So my guess is they are solid state chips in metal tube packaging so that they fit in the sockets; but someone that is there can correct things as needed.

A Google search later says they are still fully analog like a regular vacuum tube.

A little poking around seems to indicate to me that they may in fact be FET tubes. To my understanding you could setup a dual-FET or MOSFET "tube" with bipolar current running into it and it would function similarly to a triode, but with benefits of both tubes (harmonic distortion curves) and SS (lower distortion, more linear, more power, etc.) I have used some old mics that were setup similarly, with the dual-FET circuit simply standing in for the tube. Just speculation. We'll see what people say about the sound!

Maybe let Schiit have their show tomorrow? That might be nice.

 

[jfoxvol]

Stupid windoze. Yeah looks good. Wish I hadn't seen an hour ago on my way to bed. Still up.

Solid state tubes, I made my own.      

 
Drilled a hole into the suckers, and filled them with solder.    !   

 
 
Unity gain, right there......
