As in black knob on the Jot 2? The silver knob set for Lokius matches the Jot 2 silver knob pretty well.
I was talking about the silver knob on the silver Jot. It's matte, whilst all my other silver Schiit knobs have a nice sunburst effect on the face, and a polished look to the front edge. The new knobs look like they were spray-painted matte silver.

We're talking England here ... chances of rain ? ... about 95% !! :smile:
That’s a bit harsh, as it’s only rained twice today. Morning AND afternoon. 🙂

The knobs are all now bead-blasted aluminum, and that's how they're going to stay--the shiny knobs had an 80% fail rate in visual inspection. From multiple vendors. Nope, nope, not gonna do that, sorry.

I finally had a proper listen to Rekkr today, using Magni 3 (the pre-out on Vali 2++ is dead on one channel), Modi MB, and Wiim Pro, into my late father’s Cyrus 780 speakers, and it sounds great. I cannot believe this thing is only 2W. It’s proper hifi in a little box that costs a pittance. Love it!

Thanks ... Yup, made it. Beech Shelves, Threaded Rod, Nuts, Washers
It's unfinished at the moment, this was a test build to make sure it all works.

* The rack is straight, the rustic shelves it's sitting on are not, hence the rubber spacers
** still a long way to go before I can be in the same room as @Paladin79 when it comes to wood work, but enjoying myself
impressive. it looks great! i need one 48in wide, 30in tall and 22in deep! lol.

I may have to polish my Jot's knob my own damn self. :L3000: :joy::joy::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
