It looks as though I'll have to rule out the REKKR™ for my currently down GMC®/General Motors M11006 (popularly known as the Safari™ SLE) — 6 VAC 60 Hz power input, rather than 11-16 VDC. It's compact enough to install five for active crossovers (2-ways in the cab doors, 3-ways split between the D-pillars and Dutch doors). Ideal set-up: Woofers from a KENWOOD® eXcelon® Reference™ XR-1703HR low in the cab doors and Dutch doors; FOUNTEK® FR-FR59EXE midrange-tweeters high in the cab doors; Infinity®/Harman® Kappa™ 463XF sans included crossover modules in/for the D-pillars.

I've been planning a 12v Rekkr set up for awhile now. If you're serious about it one of these should handle 5 Rekkrs no sweat.

All this talk about silver-grain and older Schiit products, persuaded me to re-install the LYR 2 that I purchased back in 2016 (IIRC), the same year that I joined Headfi ... I haven't listened to it since 2017, when it was replaced by the MJOLNIR 2.

Bluesound Node 2i > Chord Qutest > Schiit LYR 2 > DCA Aeon Flow Open (OG) with new Noire fenestrated pads.

Still a superb amplifier at its price point and beyond.

I may have to polish my Jot's knob my own damn self.

Do it! My secondhand MJ2 had a gnarly scratch on the volume knob, so I ordered a replacement from Schiit. In the interim, I took a shot at polishing the old knob and got it pretty close to a mirror finish. Ended up preferring it over the OG finish and never installed the replacement.

I see a couple of Urds on the B-stock list.

And more Freya Ns, but they are going fast!

Tempting, but my music listening space is currently under deconstruction.

Lots of final shaping and sanding but I held the boards with hot glue as I check out all the angles, tapers, and bevels. The height and stability is quite good. Hopefully
once completed it will attract a few people to the Schiit meet in NC. I will indent and round the top a bit, I will also figure out a matching peg on the back for a headphone cable. Looks simple right? That top piece has eight cuts so far not counting what I will be doing to finish it.

i just read a very positive review of this book.
i don't have it yet, but am putting it on my christmas list.

What grits and/or method did you use?

I bought some replacement knobs for my silver LM (shiny, aluminum to match my other silver Schiit)...and was going to experiment with the old stock ones...see if I can make 'em shine too, ha!

Rubbing grits on your knob. Is that some kind of southern US thing?

(I'll see myself out, thanks).

It is when grits translates to Girls Raised In The South.
