I understand these units have been selling like hot cakes and samples have not been sent out yet. I have way too many amps and for that I am very happy since otherwise I would be buying the valve version. Hope you get the units Mike, but it could be a while based on what I read at HF. BTW, most are very happy with the units and from the perspective of market appeal they seem to have it. Plus it is hard to beat a headphone amp made in the USA for $250 for the SS and $350 for the valve version. The only thing I am informed on is "BIG ONES"! But this being a family site means I can not post pics.

You know why ... Tube sound is a smoky nightclub with a hot chick in a red dress, it’s a warm swimming pool in summer, glowing green against the purple twilight, it’s a . . . well, hell, you can’t really explain tube soundThank goodness they didn't mention Boobs. Miguel, you would have bought loads of them then and piled them under your bed.

I'd forgotten all about these amps Chris... I was told at the time that he would send a sample when they were "ready", haven't heard anything since. I would be very interested in what you think of the Valhalla if it ever turns up.... I am getting very tempted by one as the ever elusive X-can seems to avoid me each bid and even though I should really upgrade my old MP3 player first as the start switch has broken off after a dropping and I have to turn it of by sticking a custom tweaked phone pen inside it to turn it on and off lol

Mike... Whatever happened to this SHIIT ! Hey, you can find lots of them at the WC ............ Eventhough I don't know whether the sound given out at the WC is of any Hifi sound but it smells fantastic, right?

The new Schiit hybrid has arrived. Review Here!Great review for a hybrid HA! It will virtually push any HP to it's limits as it's 6W (40V PP) into 32 ohm.

Wasn't impressed by the Asgard I heard. Kind of lifeless, underpowered and runs waaaayyy too hot, even though it's supposed to. I honestly can't work out the logic behind heatsinking the transistors straight into the chassis.

Get a good integrated amplifier and you are done. Also my Behringer SRC2496 has controls for adjustable gain and accurately adjustable volume. Even a DT48S-5ohms get ample of power.

do you think these people really make such dangerous amps or was that just a fluke?

do you think these people really make such dangerous amps or was that just a fluke? Honestly, I don't know. I don't have the SCHIIT here. Mike has requested review samples from SCHIIT and AFAIK he never got them. Head-Fi got the full load of SCHIIT and I guess you know what Head-Fi did. It's not really an advertisement if they ignore Mike. I guess Mike would have pointed out every flaws he would have found. Without brown-nosing (like Head-Fi usually does). I don't really know what was happening with the samples he had requested from them. Maybe you should ask Mike. Another Mike (Mike Ting from headfonia.com) has written a review that was a lot better than everything you could find on the other place. His opinion was that the cheapest SCHIIT amp, the Asgard, sounds the best out of the three SCHIIT's. The Asgard is a solid-state amp, the other SCHIIT's are tube-only and hybrid. Personally, I don't want the SCHIIT. I've ordered another US made amp though, the Project Sunrise. In the solid-state departement, I like the Neco's very much.

I am still working my way through a selection of Far East amps... the "Faart guard", The "Dich extender", The "Pee NIS Pump" and the "Scroh Tum".....

Why don't you review the SCHIIT yourself? I mean the SCHIIT is US made and it's a bit OTT to throw the SCHIIT over the big pond if we already have an US member that could review it. Perhaps you could ask other US members for help and for adding their two cents.

I e-mailed Jason last July (2010) and he said he'd send a few samples.... never heard from him again. If he wants us to review his stuff then he can get in touch with me. Do you actually READ the posts in threads you reply to Colt? Flip back over to page ONE and you'll see that I have already been in touch with Jason over a YEAR ago. Cheers
