The original Modi Multibit was my gateway drug. You cant go wrong, and even if you dont like it, you should be able to sell it for a good chunk of original retail.

Hey @Jason Stoddard you mentioned at the last Shiitr meet that you guys were considering getting into the speaker game, well here's your chance. Buy Ohm, move everything to Texas (gotta be cheaper than Brooklyn), and rename it Tuuurd Acoustics, or Pharts Soundscapes, or whetever name you guys came up with.
You're welcome.

Ohm seems very unSchiit… ive owned and enjoyed Ohm speakers but don’t feel like there’s much value or cachet in the brand. pretty sure Schiit would want to do their own thing.

Well my Bifrost 2 is headed back to the Mothership today because nothing I could do would bring it back to life 
Silver lining - I assume the fix (if it's the DAC/Output card as I suspect) will end me up with the 2/64 version.

I cannot recommend the Bifrost Multibit highly enough - its waaaaayyyyy better than anything I've heard at twice the price - its an absolute steal , and mines the old gen 3 model !!!

So, awaiting delivery of a Rekkr now 
The funny thing is that the cables (5 meters of AQ speaker cable @ $9/m, 8 banana plugs, and two pairs of Snake Oil Taipan interconnects) cost almost as much as the amp itself
(with postage and tax included in everything)

A couple of weeks back, @mystaiced recommended some 1972 Raytheon 6FQ7/6CG7 tubes (Japan) from tctubes.com for my Freya N. They're the tall ones in the right-hand sockets. Huge appreciation to him for the recommendation.
For the past few months I've had 1962 Amperex Bugle Boy tubes in there, which I absolutely love. 2 nights ago, with the Amperex tubes in the right-hand sockets and Soviet Reflectors in the left, I listened to CSNY's Deja Vu Live (really, mostly Neil Young's "Living With War" album live with a great group of back-up singers...), his co-production with Daniel Lanois "Le Noise" (amazing album anytime, but with great tubes: Wow.), Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love (still stands up as a major work of art), and P J Harvey's "I Inside the Old Year Dying", so far my favourite new music this year. The tube combo in my stack with Hifiman Sundara headphones was audio bliss.
The Raytheons arrived yesterday, and as soon as I got them in the door I installed them in the Freya. These are NOS and I recognize they need to warm up and burn in before they're at their best. Regardless, I put the 'phones on and gave them a listen after a few minutes of warm up. The difference between these and the Amperex was immediately noticeable in the very familiar song I played; different but equal in the positive effect on the music and the tones. Bass was a touch more defined, the euphonics on Neil Young's already distorted guitar was immensely pleasing. I don't have the audio vocabulary to describe the differences in full, but I'm very pleased with the purchase. These are great tubes. I did a 10-hour burn-in yesterday, and I have a stack of music lined up for the evening.
More tubes are on the way. Consider me a fledgling tube-rolling addict.

Having owned an original Yggy A2 for many years, and loved it, I recently bought a used, but mint, Gungir MB . for my 'second' system.
It is superb.

FECAL would be great Schiit speaker line name. But would FOCAL sue for trademark infringement?
