Ayup! Ooops.... :beerchug: Last year's CJ London was awesomeness-on-a-stick. Andrew

Beans beans, The musical art, The more you eat, The more you… Andrew

Wild boar - particularly brilliant with pasta at a mountain rifugio. Log fire and all. Andrew

Also my favourite valve on my Lyr 3. Rich and smooth, just how I like my coffee. Andrew

An interesting rumour was made known to me today that Schiit is planning a new product. Basically an active subwoofer in balanced configuration utilising two bass drivers in push-pull and driven independently by each half of the balanced circuit. It’s working product-name is Fenrir. The...

I believe it isn’t all-in-one. It is an adapter and socket saver of the same style and tightly fitted together. I did the same a while back with a gold one. Andrew

As a fellow Brit, I loved Texas when I went there for a telecoms standards forum. It was at Fort Worth and was intrigued with the rifle culture, and played a few games of pool with the locals - Super Bowl happened to be on at the same time. Andrew

Well, new building in Texas. I bet that will cover a multitude of Syns 😉 Andrew

Does the valve work as a buffer or an amp stage? Andrew

This is likely to be a massive improvement. Valves will change their sound characteristics with the anode voltage - and the trick is to find that sweet-spot anode voltage. Andrew

Any chance of Schiit being represented at this year’s London CanJam? Andrew

You’re tempting me to roll out my old “Tyrs for Fears” joke. Oh, look what you just did! Andrew

Great writeup on what will be an awesome product. Here’s a chapter idea based on your article and my recent thoughts about the Vidar 2: something covering power vs loudspeaker load would be great - including singled ended vs balanced capability when it comes to impedance rating, current...

Opening the box, finding a physical manual, and reading the Stoddard-isms, are all part of the ownership experience. I also appreciate Edit2, as that ties into my “sustainability” question a month-or-so ago. Andrew

So 'tomorrow never comes' ;) Andrew

[Wild Speculation Mode On] Either that or a Rag 2. [/Wild Speculation Mode Off] Andrew

Now I am wildly speculating it is an integrated amplifier. Andrew

I like it, but I don't. To like-button, or not to like-button - for that is the question. Andrew

If you have concern about the electrics, ask for an electrical safety check and ensure the building is earthed with a lightning conductor. If there is a surge, it will not be anything to do with the house. For example if there is a problem with an outside substation or nearby factory. Andrew

I like it. One problem, you’ve just doubled the SKUs 😆 Andrew

Thanks for trying, and letting us know about the surge protector. My previous experience is that surge protectors stifle the sound, and is the equivalent of trying to discern a difference when powering up your equipment through cables made of wet string (okay, a harsh analogy but gives the...

An even better notion - that building three low cost good quality cables (i.e. from Mogami, Canare, and Klotz) and choosing the one that best synergises with your system, is probably going to give a better outcome than blindly buying an $X,000 cable. Synergy is king. Andrew

Awesome. Looking forward to your experience. Andrew

Yep exactly, I also solder the screen to only the source end. Leaving the earth to return just through the core, while maintaining EM screening. The standout feature of these cables is a reduction in treble glare. There is major blackground going on there. Andrew

I wish I could find / recall the video link - it was someone's independent test and the results were impressive. Andrew
