Those of us with young children are busy installing locks on the tube cabinet.

I can't believe how fast you guys all get this stuff delivered. I ordered last Saturday and my Uber has only made it as far as Pasadena.

Yup, would like to know about one's hands on uber analog upgrade as well. Does Schiit ship it with any manual or is there any instruction for installation? Then i will probably order the board and install it myself. Of course I believe they will respond if asked help about installation. Not so hands-on/ desk work engineer here. :D

I hope you guys do reviews and instructions on how to install the upgrades. I live in Canada and it would cost a lot just to get my bifrost shipped. Also not sure if customs will charge me again.

I need some help. I got a replacement 68 OG from mercedesman. It seemed fine at the beginning but I noticed static in between songs tonight. I flicked it as mercedesman suggests and the static went away. Doing this produced a rattling sound and a thump in the left channel. I assume the thump is to be expected. Then I ran the top of my nail on the top of the tube. This produced only the rattling sound. Doing this to the other tube produced the same sound in the left channel also. I went back to the GEs and the tubes produce sounds (not near as loud as the OGs) to their respective channels only. What is this? I assume it's not good.

Do the tubes sound good when you're not thumping or scraping  them?

That is what we call microphonics, is it like a high pitch static ringing sound? It's nothing to be concerned about, it can be bothersome if it keeps happening when you don't touch the tubes, but tube dampers can help i believe.
