I was moving some components around the other day, and I happened to actually read the label on the Vali 2+ power brick. For the tube heater...
I've never tried it, so I can't confirm myself. It seems hit or miss, so maybe it's an issue of manufacturing variance. Some people say it's...
If you like a bit rounded and sweet, go Voskhod rocket 6N1P-EV. If you like more space and air, go GE 6CG7 with internal shield. Either one can...
Final update to the story: I sent back the Vali again to Schiit, and they must have agreed with my assessment of something not being right...
Ha, yes, probably so. Sometimes my brain doesn't work so well and I think I have mad cow or something. I was a bit confused and I apologize for...
I think a lot has to do with Head-Fi inertia. Several years ago, someone came out like it was some major secret that had finally been discovered...
I agree that the Voskhod rocket is the best tube. I also like the crappy and not-highly-regarded GE 6CG7 (not the dual labeled 6FQ7 without the...

Good suggestion. I am including the stock tube when I send it in. However, it seems like no matter which tube I use, whether lower mu or higher...
Last night I recorded a video of a DC surge of nearly 5 v (!!!) immediately after the muting relay disengages when using the stock Canada tube. I...
Schiit is having me send the amp in again. It wasn't specified if they will be testing/repairing it, or if they'll send me a new one off the shelf.
Thank you, that's good to hear. I already had my LCD-2 repaired once due to their infamous membrane tears. They sound glorious and I wanted to get...
It's already been serviced once, so I'm assuming whatever values they tested may be normal. We'll see what they say. I tested again just a few...
This is unloaded. With the volume all the way down, I connected the meter to a headphone cable. When I first powered up, there was no DC. As soon...
I fired off an email this morning. We'll see what they say. I'm not the slightest bit concerned about the persistent 1-2 mV DC being fed to the...
