Nope, it does not. The blue ALPS.. Looking at the open picture on the site, my guess is there simply wasn't enough room..
Or too much heat..

But than again, what do I know..

I agree with you. There would be 14 relays for balanced, 128 step attenuation and they're not in the pic. I see only five small white relays. Looks like all the real estate on that board is occupied.

Speaking of female vocalists...

Boy does she have a great set of pipes. At times she uses it like a musical instrument. I think the genre is 'Symphonic Metal'.

Tube lovers, a good tool for cleaning pins.
This is a Swiss made watch repair tool, good for polishing, just rub it gently at the pins without wearing too much to it.

I have a similar glass fiber brush that I've had for ages that I have no idea when I got it. It's from RadioShack, so it's been a while. It's in my tube case, ready for use when I need to clean some pins. You extend the fibers by twisting the other end.

It is good for electrical contacts, such as circuit board , a gentle swipe is good enough.

Looks similar.

Of the 599 pages remaining before 10,000 here: what is the "over / under" for the @ArmchairPhilosopher portion?

Excuse me? I've barely posted anything in recent weeks…

A relay ladder would have required the addition of a microcontroller. Mjolnir 3 is entirely analog, including oversight. No microcontroller on board.
Probably also space constraints.

Lyr gained the resistor ladder (at the cost of the removed expansion slot) because it already required a microcontroller anyway for solid state/tube control and oversight, shouldn't be read as a sign that resistor ladders would become the default in Schiit's headphone amps.

Silver at no extra cost !!

I have not owned a Ford since 1983.

I learned to drive in a 1959 Ford Fairlane, but I've never owned one.

Never been much of a headphone listener but my original Joseph Grado HP1000 (HP2) sounds stunning on this stack. Listening to BBC Sounds - spacious, luscious, detailed. I may start listening to this system more often.

I own this combo too.
