Warning! Another fanboy post!!

I pulled the trigger on a MJ3 last Thursday just after noon. I just received it TODAY (Monday morning)! I didn't pay for special shipping, just regular FedEx ground. Schiit got it out the door as a hurricane was approaching CA (ok, maybe Valencia wasn't in the direct path, don't know) and FedEx did their job like they should. I got it plugged in to the Bifrost MB at work and am listening to some Pink Floyd through my Ether 2's. I like what I'm hearing! :gs1000smile:

Ordered 8 AM Thursday and mine seems to be stuck in Fedex void in CA. Hope it shows up in NJ soon. Jealous of all those who have theirs already!

For once the Carrier Gods did not frown upon me. Hopefully it's just a hiccup due to weather. Good luck, I'm sure when it arrives, you're going to love it!

I've been running for the past three hours at comfortable levels and took some FLIR pictures...

The top left temperature is what is measured at the crosshair. The max temperature is located at the smaller crosshair with the red triangle on top and the min temperature is located at the other smaller crosshair with the blue triangle below it. All temperatures are measured within the box roughly centered on the screen. The visible light pictures were taken at the same time as the similar-numbered IR pictures. Unfortunately with huge parallax.

Sitting on the top is my Bifrost MB and E2's.

I hope that 94.7*C (202*F) reading is a mistake! That’s almost hot enough to boil water! :cold_sweat::fire:

I've been considering this amp and help prepare my morning hot-tea is not something my Lyr 3 can do... Hmm...

Since this is class A, was music playing at the time of those 92 degC pix?

I must be in Schiits doghouse 😭

I ordered mine at 6:13 AM pacific time on release day and it hasn't even shipped yet... Even if it ships tomorrow, I wont see it until next week...
My order was 8 AM Eastern time so I got you beat by an hour, but mine hasn't moved from CA since Thursday. Wouldn't be surprised if you got yours first, haha. I hope the storm isn't holding it up and everyone is doing well/staying safe out there.

Yeah, your situation is worse IMO.... Fedex sucks... I deal with them 4 days a week as a part of my FTJ.... Hope you have started contacting FedEx with a cc to orders@schiit.com to see what the issue is.

would like to see impressions on MJ3 using Abyss and Hedd.
Nods. Considering pairing one out with some 300B pre but am worried about ultimate drive and a little more worried about resolution smearing.
Probably better off pairing the pre with a Ragnarok but I do have enough gear sitting unused which irks.
