That looks like an ad from the back of an '80s Penthouse magazine.

Weren't you like 10 years old in the 1980's? What exactly were you doing with a Penthouse magazine? Wait, um.....I meant why was a Penthouse magazine in your possession?

Great first post... you have covered all the bases... except a cat pic...

Does this help? The photo was taken just before I began hunting down the chess pieces he scattered. I need a large turntable cover for my chess board.

First post and introduction

I've been following this thread for several years after hearing about Schiit.

My first piece was a Modi 3 which after hearing about all the positive reviews I tried it on one of my Sonos connects. It made a positive and noticeable difference in the sound quality. Needless to say I no longer have Sonos for multi room audio. It's now Roon with Raspberry Pi's and various versions of the Modi 3, 3+, Modius and Bifrost 2/64. Some day a Yggy OG.

Over the years my systems have all been over taken by Schiit gear with the latest being a pair of Tyr's. Those replaced a pair of PS Audio M700's connected to a Freya+ driving a pair of Amphion Argon 7LS's. The Tyr's brought more sonic texture particulaly in the low end. The PS Audio are a great sounding amp with similar soundstage width and height just more nuanced texture and a slight warmer sound. That could also be a speaker pairing but the Try's are my end game amp. Although I did need to re-enforce my equipment rack for the weight of the amps.

Where do I fit in the sign wave?

• I prefer manual transmission cars
• I listen to Vinyl, CD's and Streaming Qobuz
• I enjoy Whiskey, Bourbon and Wine
• Music tastes cover: Blues, Jazz, Rock with venture into anything that sounds good

Welcome! But your stance on BBQ is required so that we can determine if you fly with the eagles or slop around in the muck like a, um, pig.

Schiit power (button)...

So, I have this 7 channel amp:
Apollon Audio Purifi 1ET7040SA
https://apollonaudio.com/product/purifi-1et7040sa-multichannel-amplifier-6-12-channel/

Is the power button in the front? No
Back? No
No power button? No
It is recessed and underneath.
Took me a while to find it (no manual in box and I didn't realize there was an online manual).

I thought the Schiitsters might be amused by that.

Well that's convenient (/sarcasm).

Let this be a lesson to anyone that has ever complained about the power switch on the back.

Sorta not maybe. If I’m yelling at clouds, I hope its a chorus.

Well, the power button is on the bottom front, so...

He's saying "your move?"

I have no concept what NFL team he follows lol, he is near Atlanta so I believe they have some kind of team there. The Falcones or some such. I am a Bears fan as well, I just needed something to say real quick. Now @Ripper2860 is a Cowboys fan for sure.

I'm not into the NFL too much. College hoops is where it's at for me, except for when your team is ranked #1 in the preseason and then stumbles and chokes all season and doesn't even make it into the tournament. Then basketball kinda sucks.

I gotta admit UConn earned this one, but I was hoping for SD the underdogg to go all the way.
