It is secretly owned by a Schiit employee who is responsible for installing the LEDs.Is it a coincidence that this company is next door to Schiit? Schiit: Newhall, CA 91321. LightDims: Newhall, CA 91322.

And right next to that is something called "The Front Power Switch Factory" ...WTH??

I just received my new Mrspeakers VOCE electrostatic headpohones which I am running from my YGGY/Rag setup into an ifi-iESL. Has Schiit ever spoken about doing an electrostat amp?? I love their products and would love to keep my schiit stack!

They mentioned it as one of their 'failed' amps that they decided not to pursue.

Thanks for the fast reply! That's too bad though... maybe some day they will look at it again. They have a way of making great products for a lot less then what other companies would charge!

Jason is very safety and liability conscious of which I strongly approve. He doesn't particularly like high voltages and electrostatic amps run up around 600 volts. Given hobbyists' tendency to open stuff up and modify, this could be a turn-off for Schiit. Or they may not think the market is big enough given the number of e-stat amps already out there. Or the product may be just about to be announced....time will tell.
Poor little Xap! I keep hoping there is Xap2!

For under $1000 Stax is probably the only e-stat amps worth getting.

In the house, connected to Holo Spring DAC and MrSpeakers Ether C Flow headphones. Listening to Brad Mehldau's After Bach. It does not suck, for sure. Immediate feeling is a rich midrange, engaging, liquid higher frequencies, weighty and well-delineated lower frequencies. What I wanted with the Liquid Carbon but did quite get. Proper impressions later when I can do some A/B with my Neurochrome HP-1.

Just got my new stand and now have my Schiit organized. The headphone amps are on the desk so they aren't in the picture.

That Vidar should get a little more air on top of it......

Listening to the opening Fritz Reiner/CSO Scheherazade (SACD 88.2/24 1996 remastering), which I use as a test track, on Lyr 3. Shivers down my spine. This little amp is really something!

It actually has a few inches it is mostly the angle. I am going to play with the spacing when I can and see how it goes. I don't drive vidar that hard.
